Developed and used at Google, Grnet.gr, OSUOSL, it allows creating your own virtualized IT infrastructure or IaaS-like cloud service. This talk will introduce the system, and explain how to use it and bring an installation to production level. Guido Trotter is a long time contributor in the FLOSS movement. A Debian Developer since 2002 and since 2005 working on virtualization-related projects. In 2006 he joined Google and there became a core developer on the Ganeti project, focusing on issues like scalability, concurrent job processing, and deployment infrastructure design. He has been presenting his work at many conferences, including LinuxDay, Debconf, LISA, FOSDEM (in the lightning and virtualization tracks) and LinuxCon with talks on Virtualization, Ganeti and advanced linux networking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vi legger som tidligere opp til at den formelle, disiplinerte faglige delen av møtet vil være fullført ca kl 21.00, med overgang til mer uformelle aktiviteter og langsom forflytting til egnet serveringssted (Henrik[2]) for fagøl og annet sosialt.

The conference explores academically the emerging and frontier-breaking applications of new media in everyday contexts of leisure, business and organizational life. October 3rd is the main Academic MindTrek day. Due increasing popularity of the conference, we are extending the scope of Academic MindTrek 2012! The academic conference features six major themes: * Social Media * Ambient &amp; Ubiquitous Media * Business &amp; Media * Human-Computer Interaction (new track!) * Open Source * Digital Games SOCIAL MEDIA ?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed in the collaborative, interactive media space. AMBIENT AND UBIQUITOUS MEDIA ?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient and ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology, art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services, ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts, the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick. MEDIA BUSINESS, MEDIA PRODUCTION AND MEDIA MANAGEMENT Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of digital media. This theme focuses on business studies, policies, practices, and organizational structure of media firms. It discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business and media management issues. HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (HCI) The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities, consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access, ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems, interaction theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes to several of these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with several applied and theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience. OPEN SOURCE The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open source software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware. On the one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new business models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new kinds of technical and non-technical challenges. DIGITAL GAMES The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current trends range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to social game dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical works, empirical case studies and constructive projects. DEMONSTRATIONS The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the communities related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations is to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media demonstrators. The target audience includes members of the academic community, industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the results of their research projects with a practical implementation. ACADEMIC MINDTREK AS A CONFERENCE In addition, special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference. Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference tracks as part of the academic conference with our special registration rate. The Academic MindTrek registration includes full service such as coffees, lunches, and social gatherings. The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference, where the Academic MindTrek conference has been a part of this unique set of events comprising competitions, world famous keynote speakers, plenary sessions, media festivals, and workshops since 1997. It is a meeting place where experts and thinkers present results from their latest work regarding the development of Internet, interactive media, and the information society. MindTrek brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that are involved in the development of media in various fields, ranging from sociology and the economy, to technology. The organizing committee invites you to submit original high quality full papers, long or short, addressing the special theme and the topics, for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings.

The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference, where the Academic MindTrek conference has been a part of this unique set of events comprising competitions, world famous keynote speakers, plenary sessions, media festivals, and workshops since 1997. It is a meeting place where experts and thinkers present results from their latest work regarding the development of Internet, interactive media, and the information society. MindTrek brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that are involved in the development of media in various fields, ranging from sociology and the economy, to technology. The organizing committee invites you to submit original high quality full papers, long or short, addressing the special theme and the topics, for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings. CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS The scientific part of the conference is organized in cooperation with ACM SIGMM, and ACM SIGCHI. Conference proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library, which includes short and long papers, workshop proposals, demonstration proposals, and tutorial proposals. Extended abstracts will be published in the adjunct conference proceedings; however, they will not be published within the ACM Digital Library.
