A moderately sophisticated shellscript in the meatspace operating system of life.
Stop building agents, start harnessing Goose There's a disconnect in the AI Engineering space right now and I think that the open source community has alread risen to the occasion to bridge the gap, but I don't see any signal that it's well understood or widely adopted. The industry is overwhelmingly focused on building agents from scratch via custom frameworks, bespoke orchestration layers,…
tldr; Fedora Workstation is really really good, go download it now . Some History I've been a Linux (desktop, laptop, and server) user since somewhere in the ballpark of the year 2000. My memory honestly gets a little bit hazy somewhere back in that time frame because life comes at you fast these days and 20-ish year old memories are a bit hazy, but let us say 2000 for sake of argument. My first…
Getting Back Into Blogging Something I've always told myself is that I'd start blogging again, about tech or just kind of whatever seemed interesting to me at the time. I'm now making a commitment to myself that I will blog once a week. Not every blog post will be the most amazing thing anyone has ever read and it's reasonable to think that a lot of people will simple ignore a lot of what I say…
New Adventures: Ansible Edition I am honored, excited, nervous, humbled, and over all elated to announce that starting December 1, 2017 I will be a member of the Ansible Core Development Team at Red Hat where I will work primarily on Upstream Ansible (what most people would likely know as just 'Ansible', 'Ansible Core', or 'The Ansible Project' depending on who you talk to). This was without a…
AnsibleFest 2017 AnsibleFest was amazing, it always is. This has been my Third one and it's always one that I look forward to attending. The Ansible Events Team does an absolutely stellar job of putting things together and I'm extremely happy I was not only able to attend but that I was accepted as a speaker. Kick Off and Product Announcements The event kicked off with some really great product…
Flock to Fedora 2017 Every year, the Fedora User and Developer community puts on an conference entitled " Flock to Fedora " or "Flock" for short. This year was no different and the event was hosted in lovely Cape Cod, MA . This year's Flock was a little different in focus than previous year's, the goal of the event organizers appeared to be that of "doing" as apposed to "watching presentations"…
Fedora Infrastructure Hackathon 2017 Last week, hot on the heels of my trip to Boston for Red Hat Summit , I attended the 2017 Edition Fedora Infrastructure Hackathon . The primary goal of the Hackathon was to make a lot of progress in a relatively short amount of time on defining Fedora Infrastructure requirements necessary to support upcoming Fedora Project objectives, as defined by the Council…
Red Hat Summit 2017 Red Hat Summit 2017 concluded two weeks ago but I am just now getting an opportunity to sit down and write about my experience there. I've been a road warrier lately and was only home for a day and a half and then off to the Fedora Infrastructure Hackathon (but more on that later), then once I got home "for good" I've been attempting to play a game of catch-up. So here it…
SCaLE 15x This year was the 15th Annual SCaLE (Southern California Linux Expo) event where I was fortunate enough to both attend and speak at. While this is the 15th year of the, now very well known, conference; it was in fact my first time to attend. I spent majority of my time floating between working the Fedora , Red Hat , and OpenShift booths there in the Expo Hall. I had originally planned to…
DevConf.cz 2017 I was fortunate enough to attend DevConf.cz 2017 this year, it's honestly one of my favorite events of the year. Many people from the various upstream communities I work in or closely with come to discuss and present various technologies and it's a lot of fun. This year I tried very hard to attend as many presentations as possible as well as catch up with other community…
