This is a short and unusual episode. Please let me know if you have feedback about it. This past weekend was the DevOpsDays Vancouver conference. I’ve been one of the Organizers for the past three years and I recorded some short audio blogs during the event about how it was going as it happened. They are cut together here.
The main content of the event is recorded and streamed live: https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2019-vancouver/livestream/
Tara Theoharis (@GeekyTara) from geekyhostess.com talks about conventions, event planning, and her cookbook, The Minecrafter’s Cookbook.
