Improving Operations and Systems Management using Trac - Steven Ellis
Real world use of Trac, how to drive process and work flow management within an operational environment.
Trac is a web based project management tool that provides an integrated approach to the software development process, combining version control, documentation and ticketing. A mark up language allows seamless linking between trouble tickets, wiki documentation, and change sets.
The talk will cover real world use of this flexible tool within an operational systems management environment, and a number of the principles covered can be applied to other similar project management tools.
Length: 10 minutes

Network and firewall redundancy (with carp, pfsync and openbgpd) - Joel Shea
My intention is to highlight a few OpenBSD projects to the Linux community - more specifically the pf packet filter, carp/pfsync, and openbgp - and their usefulness in providing network redundancy.

How do we use dotProject to achieve efficient project management goals in a R&D team - Tommy Yan
We're in a R&D lab around 30 people, dealing with several projects at the same time. For several years we just use MS-Excel and MS-Project as project management tool. The presentation will indicate pain points to do project management in this way, and introduce opensource dotProject tool, the benefit of it, how we set it up and customized it to fit for our working requirement. Our efficiency improved and we're pushing it to be adopted by a large group right now, more than 100 people. I'll also introduce a little bit about some drawback or limitations using dotProject.

Using Puppet on single machines - Luke Kanies
I'm doing a general Puppet presentation, but there are some cool things I think sysadmins might be interested in that I won't be able to cover, and it'd be cool to do a quick talk on one of them. Specifically, Puppet's support for doing useful things on individual machines. For instance, you can inspect resources using it or create and delete them.
