DevOps for Defense Meetup's 5 Year Anniversary

Description

The meetup format will evolve over time as the interested community evolves. Speakers and presentations will be focused and limited to no more than 30 minutes. We will solicit subjects of interest from the community for structured discussion using the Lean Coffee format. We will review books and other publications of interest which may be led by individuals or group activities. If we are brave enough, we may even hold a few Lightning Talks. Initial subjects will focus on introducing DevOps principles and practices using material from openly available sources (internet, books, etc.). We will start small and expand as needed based on community interest and feedback.

If you aren't already familiar with DevOps, I encourage you to review the vast amount of material available on YouTube.

We have changed our venue to the Brewer's Cooperative at Stovehouse on Governors Dr. We've had many years of collaboration, learning, and memories at the Rocket Republic tap room, but sadly it has closed. The new venue has a nice open air atmosphere, great food, and a wide selection of beverages.
