Yeah, I used to use the web interface, but found it lacking, especially with meeting invites. Skype for Business has no web interface :( . I tried windows VMs, dialing in, mobile apps, 3rd party apps - but nothing was reliable / usable

I use a Mac, but just as a terminal to a Linux workstation. Unfortunately, I work in a place where we need access to Outlook (and its calendar), and Skype for Business / Lync. There is not really a good story for these things on Linux

You would be surprised what can happen with "agnostic runtimes" Running the same libraries, on the same base OS is invaluable to me - but that can depend on what you are developing. > Also, unless IT agrees to put beefy machine

I will give an example where the GPL hurts some projects: I work on a OpenStack project that does DNS. We have plugable drivers for the different software out there - PowerDNS, Bind9, nsd, etc. One of the people deploying our software wante

HPE Helion == Suite of cloud products HPE Helion Stackato == Cloud Foundry There has been some branding changes, but things are settling down. Afaik Stackato is not too much of a fork anymore - but we have always had a single CF distros.

DevOps is a culture not a job. Most good candidates know this, and will actively avoid "DevOps" roles. Now someone claiming 10 - 16 years experience as a DevOp, is : A: Lying. The term is 6-7 years old B: If they have even been us

yeap, but I have a nice .ssh/config that does wildcard masking , and a few other things to make sure I can log into servers without remembering which SSH Key I need to use, and what username. e.g. I use the following snippet for my dev

From what I can see, the underlying openpgp js lib does not support GPG Cards (smartcards / newer Yubikeys + others). Interesting app, and it looks cool, but it rules out usage for me. Why the JS + Electron stack?

not really, more RoI giving massive discounts on tax at work. Most tech on the island is south of the border due to that.

Yeah, it can be a pain to get images. That said, my workflow for testing anything these days is inside a vagrant lxc box. it is well worth the lack of images for the improved workflow.

OpenStack has had this as a common design pattern across a lot of the services for a while. It works quite well for us now - there was a period 2-3 years ago where rabbitmq was the bane of my existence, and the cause of many a page but newe

Mesos is a form of virtualisation - just a different type. I am not surprised HortenWorks customers are on containers / bare metal - the over head for their workloads that would be caused by a traditional hypervisor would be costly. Fo

I do know a few companies are using tools like OpenStack Ironic to do "Metal as a Service" - basically using a full machine like a VM. That said it is usually deployed beside a cloud like thing, and only used for select workloads.

HipChat is a real on premise alternative. It may not be quite as "slick" looking, but it works very well.

the level of testing OpenStack does is the only way you can really test something like OpenStack no matter what the language.

Iteration is how software moves forward. If slack didn't "re-invent" IRC, it wouldn't exist. Also, not everyone is comfortable having data exist on a 3rd party system, that they have no audit access to. This is the funda

Just being able to have your tool know the list of servers, and their roles makes it worth it. I did a fair bit of work based on the OpenStack tripleO project, which suffered from the OpenStack NIH syndrome. They could not agree on a CM too

Yeah, OpenStack support will be a big thing for them I think. Ansible is growing its OpenStack support, and they might see an opportunity for the RDO product.

They also seem to use a hosted JIRA, but restrict some of the tickets from being viewed, and you need an account to file Jira's. There is also no mention of it in the "getting involved" section, just a link to github issues T
