I just sub­mit­ted an abstract for a talk at JBoss World 2012, hope it gets accepted!

Real World Soft­ware Devel­op­ment with Openshift

Open­Shift is Red Hat’s free, auto-scaling platform-as-a-service for Java, Ruby, PHP, Perl and Python applications.

In this prac­ti­cal talk, Jeremy Brown will demon­strate how to use Red Hat’s Open­Shift PaaS within a team of devel­op­ers to rapidly develop software.

The talk will describe how a team of devel­op­ers can develop, test and release code in par­al­lel with­out los­ing devel­op­ment veloc­ity and will draw on real world exam­ples and insights.

Jeremy will demon­strate how to use and con­fig­ure a Jenk­ins Con­tin­u­ous Inte­gra­tion server with a Java project hosted on github.com, while mul­ti­ple devel­op­ers com­mit code and fea­tures in par­al­lel, with real time sele­nium test­ing as code is released. This talk will include code and con­fig­u­ra­tion sam­ples as well as a hands on demon­stra­tion of the end-to-end project workflow.

You will come away with a greater under­stand­ing of how you can use Open­Shift to cre­ate a highly effec­tive cloud devel­op­ment envi­ron­ment with zero server configuration.

Emergency Conference Speaker Required!

I had the slightly dubi­ous priv­i­lege this week of stand­ing in at the last-minute as a speaker at a Mil­i­tary con­fer­ence on secu­rity in Prague.

On Tues­day at 4:30pm I found out that we needed some­one to speak at a con­fer­ence in Prague the next day… slightly fool­ishly I vol­un­teered and 24 hours later I found myself presenting!

The con­fer­ence was the “Inter­na­tional Con­fer­ence ITTE 2011 — Cyber Secu­rity and Defense” - http://www.afcea.cz/ My topic was “Open Source and Secu­rity: Engi­neer­ing Secu­rity by Design’ and I had to brush up a bit on the con­tent as it’s not some­thing I had ever pre­sented on before.

Still it went OK I think and I enjoyed my brief 24 hours in Prague — though not to the 24 hours before sweat­ing and prep­ping for the talk and the panel dis­cus­sion that fol­lowed afterwards.

Here are my slides: Open Source and Secu­rity: Engi­neer­ing Secu­rity by Design
