This month, Jason Crome is giving a talk on
using Fluentd for logging, and Perl for
analytics:
Logging is one of the most important pieces you’ll have in any
large-scale software system, and in a massively multiplayer game it’s
even more critical. Using Ovid’s Veure MMO as an example, I’ll discuss
what we are logging and why, how we use fluentd to collect information
at all levels in the game’s stack, and the tools and processes we use
to analyze that data.
RSVP on the Chicago.PM Meetup

been posted to cromedome's

This month, Doug Bell will be giving two short
talks.
One talk is about using Travis-CI, a free continuous integration
testing service, for Perl projects, and
maximizing Travis's effectiveness. This talk introduces Graham
Knop's Perl Travis
Helpers, gets you started using
Travis-CI, and shows how to configure Travis to cover edge cases like
very old Perls and missing optional modules/features (using
Devel::Hide).
The other talk is an introduction to Rex, a Perl-based server
configuration management system. This talk was given
informally at an office hours last year, but now it's a real talk with
real slides! This talk introduces Rex, goes through simple configuration
and tasks, and touches on some of the more powerful features of Rex such
as the CMDB (Configuration Management Database).

EDIT: Slides are now available for both talks on the Chicago.PM talks
