Earlier this week it was time for GitOps Days again. The third time now and the event has grown quite a bit since we started. Born out of the desire to bring GitOps practitioners together during pandemic times initially, this time we had a proper CFP and the outcome was just great: lots of participation from a very diverse crowd of experts - we had panels, case studies, technical deep dives, comparisons of different solutions and more....
GitOps Days are over now - what a blast I had. Even though it was long hours, it was so much fun supporting the event: such a friendly and engaged audience (loads of great questions and discussion on Slack), excellent - very experienced and fun speakers, and a super well-organised team! Thanks everyone who made these two days as special as they were! 馃挀 It has happened before: people were picking a DJ name for me....
What a brilliant day 1 of GitOps Days it was. Weeks of hard work from a great team went into this, as was quite apparent. Minor glitches, some last minute shuffling of speakers, but apart from that very very seamless. (You can still sign up and get links to the recordings.) I had a bit of an unusual role: I was DJing at an online event. Some questions online were about the setup and why I wasn鈥檛 changing records during playing (well spotted!...

Time flies when you鈥檙e having fun: it鈥檚 now been two years since I started working at Weaveworks and I 馃挄 the experience it鈥檚 been. Back then I was just concluding my sabbatical and had started pursuing a second career in that year. So my mind wasn鈥檛 exactly in the tech space, still I felt rested and open to new challenges. In the meantime, many old friends had already waved over from Cloud Native land and tried to lure me there....
