Hi Noggers,<br>
<br>
I'm heading to DevOps Down Under, and it might be of interest to some
of you guys as well. See the blurb below, or over here[1] if you're not
familiar with the DevOps concept.<br>
<br>
Note that I'm not affiliated with the conference (but one of my friends
is organising).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Matt<br>

<br>
DevOps Down Under is a conference about helping developers and<br>
sysadmins/web operations folk work better together.<br>
<br>
The recently formed DevOps movement focuses on making deployment less<br>
risky and more reliable, sharing systems and development knowledge<br>
between traditionally siloed teams, and applying development and Agile<br>
methodologies in to the practice of systems administration<br>
(essentially, treating infrastructure as code).<br>
<br>
The conference will be on May 1 + 2 at the Atlassian offices in<br>
Sydney. Programme and location information can be found on the website<br>
at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://devopsdownunder.org/">http://devopsdownunder.org/</a> , and signups are at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://devopsdownunder.eventbrite.com/">http://devopsdownunder.eventbrite.com/</a>. Tickets cost $50 per person<br>
and cover food + drink for both days.<br>
<br>
The speaker lineup includes a who's who of Australia's top sysadmin<br>
and developer talent, and talks will cover DevOps and Agile processes<br>
+ methodologies, and building better tools for both sysadmins and<br>
developers.<br>
<br>
We also have very flexible sponsorship options - if you or your<br>
employer is interested in sponsoring the conference I'd
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lindsay@holmwood.id.au">lindsay@holmwood.id.au</a>) like to hear<br>
from you!<br>
<br>
See you there!<br>
