Software Circus @ Springest

Put your hands together:

Springest (https://www.springest.nl/) will be the host of our next meetup and they are very awesome in arranging nice Food & Beverages for us all!!

Come One Come All but First Come First Serve

Bart Smith ~ Bash on Windows

At their Build 2016 conference Microsoft announced Bash-on-Windows-10, aka Windows Subsystem for Linux WSL. Can DevOps dash our MacBooks and start using Windows for writing 12-factor-apps or manage Linux infrastructure? Bart will give a demo, explain the internals, how Microsoft worked around the GPL, discuss the privacy implications of Windows 10, etc. He’ll compare it with similar technologies. How was Bart’s first-time experience installing Windows 10? He will also give a brief update of other recent Linux and Open Source offerings of Microsoft.

For discussion: will you dust-off your PC and give WSL a try? Will Bash-on-Windows entice Startups to use Azure? Is this embrace, extend and extinguish?

Bio:

After 25 years of consulting & training in the Microsoft eco-system, in 2015 Bart decided that it was time move to Cloud Native/DevOps/immutable-infra/containers.

Thomas Krag ~ Technical lead @Wehkamp ~ Templating systemd for Docker

When you dockerize all your services you naturally want the same convenience for your infrastructure components. Using systemd to manage Docker containers is a recommended way of doing it, but writing systemd files isn't fun. In this talk Thomas will go into details on what the benefits are to using systemd and go over a couple of ways to template the files.

Dennis Paagman ~ Product Owner @Springest ~ Fooling around with software & hardware for fun and productivity

What new, awesome technologies would you try out if you had the time?

At Springest, we answer this question every month during our all-company Hackdays. During this talk, I’ll share what we’ve learned by incorporating this practice into our company culture, and why you should do the same.

As an example, I’ll show how I created a virtual meeting room for remote workers and updated our third party support system with a 100% internally integrated system. All of this and more was accomplished by projects that started out as “just for fun.”
