Ceph Berlin Meetup Nov 2023

Hi Ceph Berlin Meetup Cephalopods !

Let's get in touch and meet again in Berlin !

As always, it's about exchanging ideas about Ceph, what Ceph is, the latest developments in the community, and what you do or plan to do with Ceph. Please, check the themes list below for what you want to add - let me know or let's discuss it in the `discussions` or via `chat`.

If you are not comfortable to come in person we can have a hybrid event, too. However, don't be shy - we all learn although some of us may be more experienced and those will be the source of your learning and experience.

We have a suggestion and volunteers for the actual themes this round (for now):

• short overview of specifics of stretched Ceph clusters over 2 main DCs - Matthias Muench
• findings on testing workloads in Ceph clusters stretched over 2 main DCs - Harald Seipp
• other - please suggest or volunteer !!!
• anything else that's on you mind about Ceph

A little bit of housekeeping upfront:

• there will be no recording for now - let's discuss this in the meeting
• presentations will be shared - if there are some and if it's possible
• drinks and food is up to the participant :-) - so feel free to take your favorite drink and snack - we may arrange some beverage, coffee, and snacks; if you have something to bring to the venue and share - food is always welcome ⇒ but check for the number of people planning to attend in person
• as we did last time too, perhaps plan for a beer/something_else or two as the "after-show" in the area around the location

Any changes required ? Please suggest - even the time is open for discussion.

Somebody has room for us and wants to offer a location to meet - let us know, the `discussions` is the place to do this. Otherwise, if nobody else suggests a location, we'll meet at the Red Hat office in Berlin. Anything we should do differently ? Is Jitsi not working for you or should we pick a better time ? Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

Since the location for in-person might be not shown, here it is:

Red Hat, ℅ Design Offices, Leipziger Pl. 16, 10117 Berlin

We'll meet in front of the main entry facing the Leipziger Platz between 18:15-18:30, so please be on time or give me a call on +49-160-92654111 in case you're late. Important: Give me a call if you are late ! You cannot enter the building or come to the office on your own.

See you soon ! Matthias.
