Yeah they're coming strong and fast. And evolving, as this blog post shows:

Tyler's webinars are always really good. I've seen him do a previous version of this one and it's fascinating to see the history. I'll be watching again for sure.

@coliver said in Your AstriCon Survival Guide:

No offence but those outfits remind me of booth babes at gaming/comic cons.

But they don't remind you of the attendees at those shows? I have a friend who attends, and she wears way less than these people.

That is awesome!

Thank you. This post was actually a bit late. I was posting another article and went to link to this one and realized that I had not posted it yet! So a little behind, but still great info.

Awesome, thanks.

@jospoortvliet said in Nextcloud hackweek - roadmap discussions, new app store...:

Good news! CentOS RPM's are coming, see https://github.com/nextcloud/server-packages 😉

Expect a blog about it soon, perhaps even today still. If I get it finished 😛

WHOO HOO!!!

@MattSpeller said in How this IT Team Became Heroes:

Isn't it an iron clad rule that there are no heros in IT?

There was that great thread on SW years ago, I wish that I had the link, where there were hundreds of responses to "who is your IT hero" and not one, literally, not a single one, mentioned someone who worked in IT except for one...and the thing that made him their hero wasn't his IT work but his writing and not his writing about IT but his writing about time management. Zero IT people made the list. All marketing, sales or software people... and one writer.

Some people are procrastinators I guess. 🙂

@scottalanmiller Your first date is the nerdiest thing I've ever heard of. Absolutely fantastic

It wasn't our very first date, but like a second or third. Very first date was taking her for a drive in a classic 1988 Mazda RX-7 that I had just bought and did not run correctly yet and would stall on corners.

That sounds more like it.

@NetworkNerd & @JaredBusch - We would love to have you both. We can offer you 20% off this year's AstriCon registration with promo code "VUC" at checkout. Otherwise, make sure to check out the Early Bird pricing for next year's event (which ends in late June)

I'm always the odd man out, but I rarely find personal ads (consumer stuff) to be effective. I find business advertising much more effective.

Always good to see this info every quarter, thanks again!

I just mentioned this concept in a post elsewhere earlier today, in fact. This is an extension of the YAGNI Principle that is commonly known in software engineering circles but is often overlooked in IT ones.

Rolling distros are kind of new, but I've seen some compelling discussions as to why they are the future for a lot of use cases.

There has been some discussion about Scale presence in the UK market, so really wanted to share this case study with you guys. Thanks, as always!
