The UC Berkeley Cloud Community of Practice will be holding our 15th meetup, in an all virtual mode (due to covid-19/coronavirus). We have some excellent guests and topics and hope to see you (cameras on!) later this month. Sorry we do not know how to deliver 🍕🍕🍕🥤 remotely !

Everyone is welcome - this is a really inclusive group! You don't have to be an expert, or already know about cloud technologies; we get together so people can learn from each other.

CONNECT VIA ZOOM: See connection info in meetup invite.

AGENDA:

4:45 We will open the virtual event slightly before 5pm to troubleshoot connections and get speaker AV working.

5:00 Host welcome and announcements

5:10: Speaker: Professor Carlos Maltzahn, Founder & Director of the UC Santa Cruz Center for Research in Open Source Software (CROSS) and Stephanie Lieggi, Assistant Director, CROSS will present about the Ceph project. Ceph is an open-source software storage platform which implements object storage on a single distributed computer cluster.

5:40 SkyDeck Startup Showcase: Lightning talk by Georgios Pipelidis and Nikolaos Tsiamitros, Founders of Ariadne Maps. Ariadne is a precise and anonymous customer location tracking solution for business enterprises.

5:50 Speaker: Sandeep Jayaprakash from UC Berkeley will talk about an advising application and the AWS data lake architecture that support learning analytics.

6:30 pm - End/ "Doors" close.

About the format of the talks-- presenters have been invited to share their experience with a short story framed around 3 questions:

1) WHY - Start with Why & the business value/value to mission. Why did you need cloud computing? Describe the big vision, business problem and/or academic challenge (not technical!) that you were trying to solve. (For example, teaching thousands of Berkeley students data science and making it come alive, or enabling citizen scientists around the world to crowdsource bird migration data to ascertain patterns...)

2) HOW - How did you end up using cloud computing to solve the challenge? How did you architect, build, design, etc. How do the pieces fit together and how does it work?

3) WHAT - What was the result? What did you learn? Share your war stories, lessons learned, insights, gotchas etc.
