The house building is done, the summer is nearly here and I’m planning for my next trip in August where I’ll be attending MWLUG in Austin.   This is my 2nd MWLUG event after last August in Atlanta and I was so impressed by the crowd, the organisation and the sessions I really wanted to attend again this year.

Go here to register before all the tickets are gone!

I’m delighted to have been given three sessions in the System Administration track to present on Sametime, Traveler and Security.

The Sametime Mobile Experience
In this session we will review both the backend server configuration and the features available via the mobile applications and discuss usability, bandwidth and security implications.

Traveler Management, Security and Performance
In this session we’ll look at a Traveler environment from daily tasks to enforcing TLS and starting with understanding how Traveler behaves. We’ll review both standalone and high availability configurations and discuss common problems, as well how best to plan and design a secure and stable infrastructure.

I’ll be visiting Boston first in early August then down to Austin in time for MWLUG.  I’ve never been to Austin and I’ve heard it’s a great city so some planning is in order but meanwhile I’ve got presentations to complete 🙂
