Presenters at StackiFest will include many of the core developers of the Stacki project plus stories from PayPal and Salesforce talking about their experiences implementing server automation with the Stacki toolset. The morning will have informational sessions packed with tips and tricks to get Stacki running in your environment and maximize its usefulness. The afternoon sessions will include workshops showing hands-on how to use and extend Stacki in a complex datacenter environment. The day will then end with an overview of the direction the contributors plan to take Stacki, and what features/functionality users can expect to see being worked on in the near future.
"We've been looking forward to the opportunity to get together with users of all experience levels and discuss the power of the Stacki platform for a while now," says Tim McIntire, CEO of StackIQ, "the platform is really transformative in terms of data center automation, and we look forward to hearing what people are doing, or plan to do with the tool. Getting people together to network and learn has been a goal of ours that we're glad to see come to fruition."
All are welcome! Enjoy lunch, talk to the core development team, learn from a variety of presenters, share your experiences, and see what Stacki could be doing in your environment.
