Anyone interested in a talk about Site Reliability Engineering?

fifteen3 2018-06-19 18:05:52 UTC #3

Hi Will, sounds like a great topic. Can I put you down to present July 9th?

willdavidwarren 2018-06-19 18:33:22 UTC #4

Yeah sign me up, and then I'll try make up a talk

nbering 2018-06-20 13:03:15 UTC #5

Absolutely! I've actually been reading through the "Site Reliability Engineering" book that came out of Google. It was a footnote reference in The Phoenix Project. I'm really enjoying it and would love to hear others' views on the same topic.

brianrcline 2018-06-20 19:32:54 UTC #6

I will also be willing to speak.

How about On Moving to Microservices?

fifteen3 2018-06-20 19:40:06 UTC #7

Excellent. I will slot you in.

Does anyone have something that will connect thunderbolt3/usbc to the projectors at Brock? I don't have a VGA adapter, but I do have an HDMI one.

adam12 2018-07-06 15:39:58 UTC #9

Not me.

Tagging for some visibility. @fifteen3 @knicklabs @mmottola either of you have a HDMI->VGA or Thunderbolt3/USBC->VGA? adapter?

knicklabs 2018-07-06 16:26:00 UTC #10

No. I just have a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.

nbering 2018-07-08 19:23:35 UTC #11

I have the DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to VGA adapter that works with my 2015 MacBook Pro, and I'll be bringing that.

I also have an HDMI to VGA adapter, but some devices can't source enough current over the HDMI port to support it. For examples, it mostly works with my Raspberry Pi, but it causes my Chromecast to overheat and shut down.

brianrcline 2018-07-09 02:08:02 UTC #12

I'll also need an HDMI to VGA adapter.

fifteen3 2018-07-09 20:31:38 UTC #13

I have a USB-C to VGA adapter. So if @nbering 's hdmi -> vga adapter doesn't work you will be covered.
