## Coming soon from [IT-NTL](https://www.meetup.com/it-ntl):

## **AIops** w/ Chad Rodgers of [Advanced Systems Group(ASG)](https://www.virtual.com/)

  * this is a new hyped-up word coming round the bend at us but there is some real meat to it. Chad Rodgers is an engineer at ASG who has been doing a lot of work with Ansible, Elastic Search, and Python ML/AI for datacenter management. does a great job of cutting through the BS and giving a practical down-to-earth view into what AIops means and how it can help IT practitioners.

## Reminders

* We are lifelong learners. Please share learning opportunities, even if they're not produced by SFS.
* We are friends. You can post just about anything, but if it doesn't have to do with learning free-libre software, stick an "OT:" in front of it.
* We are professionals (when we must be). Please post your help wanted and job wanted here.
* We hang out in [Mattermost](https://mattermost.sofree.us/signup_user_complete/?id=yxm5sbjra7gsmkaj19ut3w6qgr).
