February 09, 20177: Config Management Camp: Kubernetes, Sysdig & Mgmt
I’m back! Sort of.
This is a mono-episode where it’s just me talking about Config Management Camp, a conference held in Gent in February 2017. I recap a few interesting talks and projects I saw.
This is an episode that I recorded in the car. So there might be audio quality concerns and I’m very much looking for feedback on this format: is it hearable? Does it bother you? Should I do more of these recaps?
Please let me know via e-mail at [email protected] or on Twitter at @mattiasgeniar.

October 23, 2016 6.5: SysCast is taking a little break
I wish I didn’t have to bring this message, but I’m fairly certain you already noticed it: there hasn’t been a new SysCast podcast in a while.
I’m taking a bit of a break to organise things, prepare better and overall bring a better show. But that takes time, and time is something I don’t have at the moment.
The plan is to bring SysCast back in a few months. In the meantime, don’t unsubscribe just yet, keep the RSS feed going. In a few months, I hope to be back – full force.
Meanwhile, if you’re craving more open source or linux news, have a look at the weekly newsletter called cron.weekly!
