[lopsa-discuss] Trying to kick-start O'Reilly's sysadmin space

[Luke Kanies]

Hi all,

I'm trying to kick-start O'Reilly's focus on system administration,  
so I've started blogging for them.  It's no secret that I'm not  
exactly thrilled with the state of system administration today, so  
I'm mostly blogging about this in an attempt to get a bit of a  
conversation started.

Here's my first real post (other than an introduction):

why_isnt_system_administration.html

ComputerWorld.au just published an interview with me that covers a  
lot of this same ground, along with how I'm trying to fix some of it  
with Puppet:
