*dust dust ..... wipe ... blow ... dust dust ...*
It's been way too long since I blogged. So long, in fact, that I couldn't log back in. With some help from Moveable Type Forums I managed to get logged back in today.
Last week I was at Red Hat Summit 2011 in Boston. What a buzz. Red Hat's new PaaS offering, OpenShift, was announced and demonstrated. Really sweet. I contributed a very small amount of code to the OpenShift Express offering. It was an AMQP plug-in for the management framework MCollective using MRG Messaging with the Ruby/C++ client. The OpenShift team are a pleasure to work with. I look forward to contributing some more.
I had the privilege of speaking at Summit with Lans Carstensen from DreamWorks Animation. We did a session called Red Hat Enterprise MRG at DreamWorks: Grid at Massive Scale, Utilization, and Throughput. You can download the presentation from the Summit Presentation here. All presentations are on the Red Hat Summit 2011 Presentation Page. That version of the presentation contains all the meat but lacks all the fun stuff, including Kung-Fu Panda 2 characters on some of the slides. We had a lot of fun, as can be gauged from the first of many questions we had, "how many Red Bulls did you guys have?" He had only been drinking coffee but we were really pumped about the presentation.
