BLUG Meetup - One Command Too Many (Practical Change Management At Any Scale)

Join us Wednesday, September 17th, from 5:30 PM to 7 PM at Bellingham Makerspace as we explore practical Linux with community organizers from BLUG, Bellingham Codes, the BTC Raspberry Pi Club, and Cascade STEAM! Brian Parks will be presenting "One Command Too Many: Practical Change Management At Any Scale"

Have you ever had the "perfectly" working system, then made one "minor" tweak and had the whole thing break? How do you recover? Like most things in IT, it depends. At scale, this is called "Change Management", but the principles apply just as well to your own personal system as to a complex corporate network. This month we'll talk about some of the philosophy, processes, practices, and programs that you can use to manage changes to your laptop, homelab, or corporate network.

Each BLUG meetup will be in three parts:

• the first half hour will be arrival and community support. Need help installing some app or flavor of Linux? Make sure to show up early and partake in the wisdom from some of our more experienced members.
• After that, we will have guest sessions. Do you have ideas on what you would like to present or want to present yourself? Let us know!
• After the presentations are done, we will have a general social time to get to know each other and to collaborate on new things.
