[Data-Mongers] Noon TODAY, 11/29 Informatics Talk - A. Goddard - Devops

[Holly Miller]

Dear fellow Informatics-inclined folks,

The second Informal Lunch Talk will be held TODAY, November 29 in Lillie 103 on the MBL campus (map). Anthony Goddard from the Center for Library and Informatics will present a talk entitled "Devops."

Summary
In the traditional world of web development, programmers and operations folk have sat in separate silos, the developers leaving the "server" stuff to the kids in the cold server rooms and the sysadmins leaving the "code" stuff to the kids in the dark offices. The rise of web operations as a field within traditional systems administration and the subsequent rise of cloud platforms have both increased sysadmins' access to development technology and practices, as well as developers' access to infrastructure. The devops movement has evolved from this idea and encourages culture and tools to create more efficient, effective and harmonious environments for ops teams and dev teams.

Bio
Anthony Goddard is a sysadmin & developer with the Biology of Aging project in the Center for Library and Informatics and a member of the Biodiversity Heritage Library's infrastructure team, working on distributed storage and processing clusters. He specializes in Linux, Ruby, OS X, virtualization and distributed architecture. Anthony's interest in the devops movement stems from years of putting one foot in both the sysadmin camp and the developer camp.

The Monday Lunch talks will be every other Monday. We have created a wiki page for these and other Informatics events in Woods Hole. Please consider giving a talk, we have lot's of openings in 2011! Let us know if you about any informatics related event and we will add it to this page. Those of you who haven't subscribed to the Informatics discussion list, you might want to.
