Coté's People Over Process

We’ve mentioned OpsCamp Austin several times on the IT Management & Cloud podcast, mostly in episode 63. It’s coming up in a few weeks, and I it’s well worth considering for anyone who works in the IT Management space, data centers, or whatever you want to call it. OpsCamp comes from the CloudCamp unconference, and it’s being run and managed in the same way: so you know it’ll be good. Not only that, but it’s free, and down here in Austin, which are certainly two other items that make it hard to beat. Here’s a quote I sent over for a press release on it:

After many years of steady pace in the IT world, the tools and
technologies used to do the daily work of operations are rapidly
changing. Thanks to virtualization and cloud computing moving
mainstream, new, hopefully better ways to deliver IT are emerging.
These things aren’t always fully baked yet, but the thought-leaders
and early adopters are quickly crystallizing. OpsCamp is an exciting
chance to get involved in this conversations whether you want to start
directing this shift in operations, figure out if it works for you, or
just check it out. And, not only is it free, it’s in a damn fine spot:
Austin.

In addition to attending, there are chances to sponsor which are straight forward – I can email you a quick overview if you’re interested. They’re estimating around 75-100 people, and if it’s anything like last year’s CloudCampAustin (pictured above) it’ll be a chance to get in front of a rare collection of IT folks.

Disclosure: two of the current sponsors, Zenoss and Reductive Labs, are RedMonk clients.
