FLOSS UK's 'DEVOPS' event will take place in York from the 24th - 26th
March 2015.
This is the UK's only conference aimed specifically at systems and
network administrators. It attracts a large number of professionals
from sites of all shapes and sizes. As well as the technical talks,
the conference provides a friendly environment for delegates to meet,
learn, and enjoy lively debate on a host of subjects.
Workshop: The conference will be preceded by a workshop. If you would
like to offer a workshop that might interest our target audience,
please submit a proposal.
Conference: We are currently accepting talks; so if you are a systems
administrator, we want to hear from you. We are seeking papers
covering all aspects of systems and network administration, including:
*backup and restore

*networks & systems monitoring
*virtualisation and system deployment using 'cloud' technology
If you have a novel solution to a problem, experience of a particular
application or hardware platform, tips and tricks for fellow systems
administrators, or a favourite tool you could talk about, please
submit a paper for consideration by the programme committee. There
will be a prize for the best talk.
Bursaries may be made available for accepted speakers who are unable
to afford travel costs. (Note: A budget limit has been set by Council
and all amounts are to be confirmed in advance).
All accepted speakers receive a complimentary conference place and a
