Hi all,
Sorry about the short notice, but we have a meeting scheduled for tonight at 7:00 PM in Reitz Union meeting room 346. I haven't heard back from them yet, but some of the librarians may be coming to talk about the library resources and how we can work together next year. It will be our last general meeting of the semester, but don't forget about the Linux installfest and our next copynight (more details on those two at the meeting). Hope to see you tonight!
Best,
Jennifer Griffith
President, Florida Free Culture

By Daniel CurtisIn this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with David Blank-Edelman about the relationship between software architecture and site reliability engineering. Site reliability engineering can give architecture vital feedback about how the system actually behaves in production.
