[SGVLUG] Matt, can we get an abstract? (Was Re: Speaker for October 8th?

[Matthew Campbell]

Hey Lan, see below the detail requested.

Matt

Title:  Automating Basic IT Functions with Puppet

Abstract:  We will cover how to set up and define your home IT
services from code.  Topics covered will range from installing the
puppet master service, through setting up the agent service, to
defining common service modules in a RedHat based environment.  Cross
platform topics, including writing modules to support Windows and
Ubuntu, will be covered in as much detail as interest permits.

Speaker Bio:
Matt Campbell (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/matthew-campbell/13/734/495)
has been active in technology and electronics since the late 80s in a
variety of roles.  His background spans technical expertise in Unix OS
and kernel design, the marriage of art and technology in feature film
special effects, and delivery of solutions on cloud, database,
virtualized, and mobile platforms.

Matt's first company was founded on principles similar to modern
dev-ops practices.  Defining the data structures of DVD authoring by
developing a language describing the desired layout and interaction
allowed the studio to deliver products for a fraction of the cost of
competitors while supporting interactivity unavailable to the major
studios at the time.

Currently a corporate technology strategist, he is defining services
for a post cloud world with a 200,000-employee organization facing
billion dollar technology budgets and rapid growth.
