WTF

A regular meetup of people interested in DevOps.

DevOps is kind of a new sysadmin buzzword for ways to close the gap between software development and operations; it's what happens when agile development spreads to the server room. We meet to discuss culture, processes, tools and trends that contribute to this field.

DevOps — slides from introductory lightning talk at Metaday #36

There is a mailing list for announcements and discussions.
