BrainShare 2006

More updates on BrainShare 2006.

I am in Provo, UT all week – working with Mark Schouls – on our BrainShare session and demo:

Session Title: ZENworks Design, and the Lifecycle Management Framework
Length: 2 Hours
Level: Advanced
Abstract: Over the past number of years Novell has presented the ZENworks Lifecycle Management diagram in many of the ZENworks related sessions. This session will focus squarly on how to design a rock solid ZENworks infrastructure and put lifecycle management into practice. Join this session to learn how to fully leverage your ZENworks architecture, take advantage of best practices, and see a live lifecycle management demonstration. This session is a combination of both theory and live demonstration.
Speaker: Mark Schouls

Should be good fun. We’re working on the ‘minimal slides, maximum demo’ approach.

So far I am documenting how to build a successful ZENworks demo/workshop/lab – I will get that posted to the (soon to be launched) Novell Cool Blogs community.

The summary of the session describes the life of an employee – presented in a two hour session. From day zero (hire) to when the employee leaves for pastures new – the session and demo will describe how ZENworks, Novell Identity Manager and other solutions can control the lifecycle of the user and their hardware.

I’ll post more in the next week or so – but I’m saving the bulk of the information for the new Cool Blogs!

Hey you in Sandvika

I use Google Analytics to track traffic to this blog. I commented on this earlier – and sorry for the almost 30k payload!

I noticed tonight a visitor from the far north of Norway – in Sandvika – this stood out as being the most northerly visitor I’ve had.

Welcome – and please leave a comment and introduce yourself!

Drupal

My sister is the Akela of a cub pack back home in England. She wanted something ‘on the web’ – she now has a blog and a website.

I looked at all sorts of options for building the website – it needed to be easy to use, minimal maintenance, good functionality – but also secure, not resource hungry and obviously run on Apache, PHP and MySQL.

I eventually selected Drupal.  It has an active developer community; the architecture and structure was logical; the security seems good. Best of all it’s easy enough for non-IT people to use.
