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/
On the last day of the 2019 JoCoCruise (featured in Episode 4 and Episode 5), the show managers held a Q&A open to all attendees and below are my transcribed notes from the meeting. Everything is paraphrased unless in quote marks and attributed to one of the managers by name. Notes added for context as I transcribed them are in (parenthetical italics). Many of these questions are pretty general and the answers are similar to the answers one would get from many different conventions so sharing it here might help some curious folks who haven’t attended a Management Q&A before.
Tara Theoharis (@GeekyTara) from geekyhostess.com talks about conventions, event planning, and her cookbook, The Minecrafter’s Cookbook.
