has to go through additional hassles to have the guard activate the
elevator for them.
For our September meeting, Aleksey Tsalolikhin, who represented
cfengine at the UUASC-LA Configuration Management Round Table
last October will be introducing us to cfengine version 3. This version
of the grandaddy of policy-based configuration management systems
increases the power and simplicty of managing network attached
computers.
This talk, that Aleksey will also be presenting at the Ohio
Linux Fest later this month, covers the following topics...
He will also show sample configurations and live demonstrations.
Aleksey Tsalolikhin has been Administering UNIX Systems for over 12
years; including 7 at EarthLink: experiencing growth from 1,000 to
1,000,000 users in less than 4 years and on to 5,000,000 users.
Wrangling EarthLink's server farms by hand, Aleksey developed an
abiding interest in automating configuration management. He is
longstanding UUASC member and presenter and a member of LOPSA, the
League of Professional System Administrators.

Use the elevators on the west side of the building This is one of the huge white "Pacific Towers" buildings. The one with "Oracle" on the top, funnily enough... From the 105 freeway: Take the Sepulveda (aka hwy 1, aka airport) exit, but go SOUTH. It's about a kilometre down Sepulveda, on the left. Take a left just BEFORE the building, on Grand avenue, and turn into "Visitor Parking" From the 405 freeway: Take the exit just south of the 105 (El Segundo Blvd) Go west for 2+ miles on El Segundo Blvd. Turn right onto Sepulveda Boulevard. Stay in the right lane and take another right onto Grand Avenue. Pass the building on the corner completely and turn into the second driveway on the right were it says "Visitor Parking." Parking: Parking in the adjacent structure appears to have cycled back to non-free, for now.Here's a map for ya!
