Managing MySQL the Slack Way: How Google Deploys New MySQL Servers
Thanks to everyone who came along to Grant and my talk this morning about slack and how we bootstrap MySQL servers. Here is the slide deck as promised.
I just noticed…
That I forgot to put the slides from Stewart and my MythTV tutorial at LCA online. So, here they are, and sorry for the delay. You can also see the video of the tutorial here, and the homework we set here. Weirdly, there is even a remix video of the presentation.
Managing MySQL the Slack Way: How Google Deploys New MySQL Servers
I'll be presenting about Slack (the open sourced tool kit we use for deployment software configuration) at the MySQL user's conference in Santa Clara in late April. The talk will focus on the interesting aspects of Slack as it relates to MySQL and should be fun. A DBA mate of mine is gonna present with me, so it should be a barrel of laughs.
For Christmas I would like…
One of these things in every room at every open source conference. Get on that please.
Hypothetically speaking
Hypothetically speaking, if you needed to write a four hour long presentation (probably around 200 slides), shared with another speaker, and wanted to keep the style consistent and conforming with your approved corporate style, how would you do it? I'm thinking of some sort of intermediate language, which can then be used to generate slides from a template? Is there anything like that out there?
Portland presentation slide deck
Well, I gave the presentation in Portland (and it seemed to go well). I've put a PDF version of the slide deck I used online if people are interested. More on the trip when I get around to writing it up.
