Coté Memo #14 – Wet Phones, Podcasts, and #S1P
Since last time, I was at SpringOne Platform and took a week off for beach-time. Both were fun. I have very little travel over the next few, well, months. I’ll be speaking up at DevOpsDays Dallas, Sep 15th and 16th. With this “downtime” – we’ll see if I actually do it – but I’m hoping…

Coté Memo #13 – LAS Twice, Circle of Code
I’ll be in Las Vegas two weeks in a row, which is a rarity. Las Vegas was a frequent destination when I was an analyst at RedMonk and 451: big vendors like IBM and Microsoft love to put on shows here. I suppose it’s cheap, easy to get to, and has rooms a-plenty. The perfect…

Coté Memo #12 – The Gibberish of PaaS, Multi-cloud, Agile, etc.
Last week I had a tiny tour of Poland, speaking in Warsaw and in Devoxx in Krakow. It was fun! I got to give the long version of my “Surviving and Thriving in BigCo’s talk” and also the “Better Ways of Doing Software” stump speech, as it were. Tragically, I missed the pigs on a…

Coté Memo #11 – Why would MSFT buy LinkedIn? Lots-o-links too!
What’s more delightful than finding a cup of coffee you forgot about earlier in the morning? Bonus coffee, more than you thought was left. I have some trips coming up, not least of which is the week in Poland. I’ll be speaking at a meet-up in Warsaw and then twice at Devoxx.PL in Kraków. Hopefully…

Coté Memo #10 – DevOps talk recordings, cash on hand, towel meat
The nook of the IT world I operate in now – application development and delivery – had a good event this week in the Cloud Foundry Summit. This is the annual meeting of the open source foundation and community built around Cloud Foundry. There are several distributions of the core project, I of course work…

Coté Memo #9 – “Let’s meet in Bender, it’s usually free.”
This week I’m at OSCON in Austin – loads of people are in-town! Next week I’ll be at CF Summit in Santa Clara. It’s a good chance to see people talking about “cloud native” and they’re applying it at their company. I’ve got a 20% discount code if you want to register. DevOpsDays Seattle last…

Coté Memo #6 – OpenStack, big cloud transformation
The OpenStack Summit was pretty good stuff. Coming up next week is DevOpsDays Austin where I’ll be speaking on Tuesday and staffing the table. I’m then off to the Agile and Beyond conference to talk better ways of doing software and unicorns. Hopefully I’ll see y’all around, otherwise, keep apprised of the Twitters for any…

Coté Memo #5 – OpenStack, an interest in cheese
I’ll be at the OpenStack Summit in Austin this week, meandering about talking with folks, at the Cloud Foundry Foundation booth a few afternoons, getting some pancakes and breakfast tacos with The New Stack folks, visiting with some analysts and other in-town, and moderating a panel on developer marketing Thursday morning. Also, I got my…

Coté Memo – Issue #4
Hello again. It’s been raining cats and dogs here in Austin, worse over there in Houston. We lived in years of draught, so downpours are always miraculous. I think the lake is even full now, after God knows how long of being way under. Conferences The Spring conference season is on. You know if someone says…

Coté Memo – Issue #3
Things are thin this episode as I took some time off for family. “An ongoing battle” “Beer versus scientist represented a kind of schism between the banality of speech versus the originality of thought. An ongoing battle.” From Authority, delightfully “new weird.” Coté Content DevOps isn’t just about the new: It’s about cleaning up the…

Come to the Austin Docker Meetup this Thursday (Jan 7th) to see me and some much smarter people talk about “The Container State of the Union.” See below for some of the “prep” work I’ve done.

Coté Memo #081: The best steak I’ve ever eaten, and the slow train problem
Tech & Work World How Microservices Fixes the Slow Train Problem I write little columns for the internal Pivotal newsletter we have sometimes. Here’s one that’s about to go out. The ideas of “dependencies” and “coupling” are important touch points for understanding and conveying the software delivery benefits of a microservices approach to architecture. “Coupling”…

Coté Memo #080: Come on, register for this God damn webinar
This week is a lull in travel. I’m closing out the year by going to lots of DevOpsDays (Charlotte, where I’m speaking, and Silicon Valley next week), a few internal summits, and my first Gartner show, where I’m speaking in a sponsored slot. Tech & Work World Shameless Self Promotion “You should put that on…

Coté Memo #079: No Comment, Slack Behavior
Tech & Work World No Comment Big news for the company I work in this week. Sadly for my desires to write about and link to interesting stories on it, I have to take a pass. It’s bad form for employees to comment on any of this stuff; and since I worked at Dell on…

Coté Memo #078: Spiceworld 2015, Spiceworks Momentum, Enterprise Use, and DevOps
Tech & Work World I was at Spiceworld, briefly, last week. This is Spiceworks’ big user, annual conference in Austin; they have one in London as well. I’ve followed Spiceworks for many years (from RedMonk to 451 Research) and have always liked their IT management approach: their business model is to be the Facebook of…
