In this 3-hour workshop, we will have plenty of time to start work on compiling a list of the "tools" that are in a configuration manager's "toolbox". Internally that will work a repository of the tasks and techniques that a configuration manager can use in his/her day-to-day work. Externally it will serve as a catalogue of the services that the configuration manager can provide an organisation.
The precise contents and format will be decided at the summit by the participants and will reflect what they find interesting. However, we have prepared a tentative programme to follow unless we decide to improvise:
Think about what "tools" you have in your toolbox. What are the (abstract) configuration management concepts and principles that you apply in your day-to-day work?
