Hello Everyone -
Direct Supply has been graciously hosting and sponsoring our group for quite some time now, and we are very appreicative. Due to a variety of reasons they have asked that all guests not arrive more than 30 minutes prior to the meeting. It is disruptive to have many people there early while people are still working. They have also asked that I announce that they will be closing the gates at 7:30 PM as well so that their security staff can go on about their regular business, so please be there before that or you may not be able to get into the building.
Also, I wanted to remind you that Direct Supply has always been very accomodating to our group. It goes without saying that we should remember to show their staff and property the highest respect. They don't have to host us, but they choose to. Please keep that in mind while you are on their campus.
Thank you.
Scott Isaacs
President, WI .NET Users Group |

Demystifying DevOps - Finding Value in the Hype
with Steven Murawski
Note: Due to a scheduling conflict, we are meeting on the second Thursday of June instead of the second Tuesday.
Update: Slides are available here.
DevOps is the new "hotness". Software vendors left and right are proclaiming that they offer "DevOps" tools. Companies are posting positions for "DevOps Engineers". You are also might have heard about "NoOps" or how pushing all your apps to the cloud eliminates the need for systems administrators or ops guys.
Join me and we'll define what DevOps is, what the real motivation behind the DevOps movement entails (the Three Ways of DevOps), and how DevOps can work in your organization. We'll use real-life examples from software deployments I've participated in earlier (with the names changed to protect the guilty) and my experiences at Stack Exchange, keeping Stack Overflow available yet dynamic.
If you have questions about DevOps and the Dev->IT workflow, this is the night for you!
Steven Murawski
Steven is a SysAdmin on the technical staff for Stack Exchange (operators of great Q&A sites like Server Fault and Stack Overflow) and a Microsoft MVP in PowerShell.
