Last year I open sourced my enhancement to Python PDB which lets you rewind time. Sadly I announced it on April Fools Day. Oddly enough, even though I open sourced it, people thought the screencast was a hoax. It isn't at all. It really works.
Check out last year's post:
My 5-minute "Ignite" talk was accepted. Come and hear it.
Only 3 weeks left to submit talk and paper proposals for LISA 2015. This year's conference is in Washington D.C. on November 8-13.
This might be a good weekend to spend time writing your first draft!

Don't be afraid to submit proposals early. Unsure of your topic? Contact the chairs and bounce ideas off of them.
Have you read the 2014 State of DevOps report? The analysis is done by some of the world's best IT researchers and statisticians.
A lot of the data used to create the report comes from the annual survey done by Puppet Labs. I encourage everyone to take 15 minutes to complete this survey. It is important that your voice and experience is represented in next year's report. Take the survey
Yes you are. If you think "I'm not DevOps enough" or "I'm not important enough" then it is even more important that you fill out the survey. The survey needs data from sites that are not "DevOps" (whatever that means!) to create the basis of comparison.

Have you taken the 2015 DevOps survey? The data from this survey influences many industry executives and helps push them towards better IT processes (and removing the insanity we find in IT today). You definitely want your voice represented. It takes only 15 minutes.
