David Both to have book signing at ATO
I’ve just completed arrangements to do a book signing at the All Things Open (ATO) conference this year. I don’t yet know when I’ll be scheduled but I will post that here as soon as I know.
I’ll have copies of my newest book, “systemd for Linux SysAdmins,” as well as a few copies of my book, “The Linux Philosophy for SysAdmins.” I might also have a couple surprises.
ATO 2025 will be held at the Convention Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, October 12 – 14. ATO features over 150 world-class speakers on a wide variety of open source subjects. I always learn a lot from the talks I attend but I can never get to all the ones I want. There are so many that I’m interested in, it’s hard to choose.
I always find ATO to be an amazing experience with so many speakers and attendees from under-represented groups. You can see from the speaker list just a little of what I mean. However not all groups have visible attributes that you can point to.
I’m not doing a talk this year as my submission was rejected. It happens! I will be submitting again next year as there are lots of things I want to talk about.
