Silicon Valley Chapter

Wednesday, February 10, 2010
6:30pm doors open, 7:00pm meeting begins
Speaker: Chris Takemura and Luke S. Crawford

Topic: From the clouds to the trenches: fast provisioning and utility computing

Chris Takemura and Luke S. Crawford, authors of "The Book of Xen" will talk about their experiences running a small geek-oriented VPS company, and their efforts to reach feature-parity with the so-called "cloud".

Chris Takemura is a longtime *nix sysadmin, Perl hacker, and technological hobbyist. He's been using Xen from its early days, and helped to build prgmr.com's reputation as "hosting for the technically adept."

Luke S. Crawford has used virtualization in production since before it was cool, virtualizing hundreds of servers for large and small corporations. He launched the prgmr.com service in 2005, selling virtual servers based on FreeBSD jails before switching to Xen in an effort to more fairly allocate resources.

Meetings are open to the public and are free of charge.
