Software Update: Where We’re Going, Where We’ve Been
Normally, this is where I’d put my slides, but my slides weren’t the drawing factor of this talk. Unlike my keynote, I also didn’t write the whole talk out ahead of time, so I don’t have some magnum opus to post here like I did yesterday for the keynote. That’s okay, though, I do have…

Munki Mistakes Made Right, a Mac AD UK Conference Presentation
Thanks very much to the folks at Amsys for having me out to London to present my talk this year at MacADUK, called Munki Mistakes Made Right. Over the last few years, I’ve done probably 25 munki installations, in groups as small as a few clients, or as many as a hundred. There are always…

MacDevOps YVR 2016: Securing Munki
Below are the slides for my 2016 Talk at MacDevOps on Securing Munki. The talk was a good way to revisit what I’ve done with Munki in a Box and discuss some of the maybe not-so-great choices that were made along the way to get to where we are now with the security branch. The…
