It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Scott Rigby! Could be Helm, could be Flux, could be co-organizing KCD New York or coming down to KCD Guatemala where I'll be in June, Scott has got so many community things going on I don't know how he keeps track of it all. Onward!

Namaste Nepal!

With the buzz of 12,500 people in the same place, it's hard to get quality time with the folks we love. I was in the right place at the right time to see @dlectronique.bsky.social who was been my conference ADHD "Accountabilibuddy" with another amazing superstar @hannahfoxwell.net. #kubecon

Is this the final swag boss? Does @olensmar.bsky.social's plushie have a rival in the Cloud Native world? What do you think? #kubecon

Sharing is caring, even if it means Rob Koch letting Milad Vafaeifard borrow his imaginary gun. They showed me how they explain films in sign language, and let's see if you can guess which one Milad is imitating here! #kubecon

SREs: not all traffic drops are outages. Sometimes it’s Diwali. Or the World Cup. @rootly.com's digging into that with LLMs- check out what their Head of Devrel @sylvainkalache.bsky.social had to say about it at KubeCon.

If it weren't for this amazing, resilient human, I never would have attended a KubeCon. Nothing but love for Ihor and what he stands for. So happy I ran into him on Friday when the event ended. Onward!

KubeCon happens quickly- I got to speak to @jonobacon.bsky.social for just enough time to get a few pictures in. When I started in community work in the cloud native ecosystem in 2020, it took me far too long to learn about Jono which would have saved me a great deal of time & confusion!

KubeCon gives us many reasons to celebrate, and Carla Gaggini's birthday is one of them! Working hard at the booth, making sure every detail is taken care of to support her team, she's always doing it with class and pizzazz. Happy Birthday Carla! #kubecon

So great to see two of my favorite Google engineers on the big stage at #kubecon introducing our fun new multi-cluster orchestrator. Credit to @birthmarkbart.bsky.social for the sick photo. Check out the blog if you are interested cloud.google.com/blog/product...

Ambassadors on the move- just ran into Faeka @aakansha.bsky.social @shivaylamba.bsky.social who are a whirlwind moving through the community, sharing ideas, and doing it with a smile! #kubecon

Behind the scenes photos of Day 2 of recordings at the @controlplane.io office for the hashtag#flux mini-series we are doing at @kube.fm See anyone you know?

Get the right people in the room and the rest will take take care of itself. I'll be interviewing the creators, maintainers, and some major end users of Flux over the next few days in a special mini-series @kube.fm is producing with @controlplane.io. Stay tuned!

Yep- you're looking at the cookie policy of the @CloudNativeFdn Bilbao Meetup! Two talks- one from Gabriel Aberasturi about OpenAI/Open Source another from Sonia Veiga Martínez who will be speaking about Cloud Native Security. Join us at 6pm! community.cncf.io/events/detai...
