Sever Connections: Concerns About Your Technical Decisions On The Cloud And Elsewhere
Date:
16 January 2012 - 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Location:
TBA
Speaker(s):
Ricard Pitt
Hi folks,
Late notice again regards our January meeting. Sorry this months been difficult. Speakers are unavailable and SFU intends to use our regular meeting room for another function. So please note the CHANGE IN LOCATION.
Our speaker will be Ricard Pitt, a senior statesman in the Vancouver IT community. It's been said that Richard has been running servers forever, and was the original sysadmin for the Garden of Eden.
Richard's topic will be "Server Connections: Concerns About Your Technical Decisions On The Cloud And Elsewhere". This lecture grows out of Richard's blog entry "Perspective on Remote Access To Your Documents Today": http://digital-rag.com/article.php/RemoteAccessToYourDataToday
and has been updated with additional links. So if you'd like to read ahead and come prepared feel free.
This is a lecture, but we'd like to have lots of Q&A and discussion. As people are moving to the cloud a whole new set of decisions and consequences are emerging, many of them beyond their control. You need to be prepared. Bring your questions.
The lecture will be held from 7:30-9:30pm in Room 9 at the Hastings Community Centre, 3096 East Hastings Street, across from the PNE. As this is quite a distance from our usual meeting location any offers of car pooling would be appreciated.
Ricard and Brunix will also be hosting a pre-event dinner at St. Augustine's Pub from 6:00 - 7:00pm. See the accompanying announcement for details.
