OUR ELEVENTH MEETUP Thursday, March 14th, 6pm at DevOpsGroup offices, Cardiff. Meetup Page Livestream Sponsors LearnK8S Jetbrains SkillsMatter Brendan Collins LinkedIn Talk Video Sadly, this was our first live video and the encoding on the stream couldn’t handle it. Its not ideal but there is audio available but the final part of the talk is missing. We apologies to Brendan for this, but will forever be grateful for helping us test out live streaming.

Streaming to Wales Since creating Cloud Native Wales, we’ve wanted to make sure we can share as much of the content with people throughout Wales. The reason we setup the meetup was that not everyone could make the meetups and conferences hosted outside of Wales, so we brought it to Cardiff. But not everyone can make it to Cardiff, so how do we fix that? Lessons from Football I once heard a story about Football being streamed live at 3pm within the UK, outside of the UK people can watch Saturday 3pm kickoffs live but we can’t do that with TV services in the UK.

SINCE KUBECON We’re sending out tweets and emails to people we’ve met in KubeCon. Being personal is a core value for us, but there is some content cross-over. Rather than send you several links, we thought we could host a blog post instead to direct you around. Here’s a clip of what we got up to at KubeCon: When @SoulmanIqbal & @denhamparry went to @CloudNativeFdn #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon! Sound On, make it loud 🔊 #Copenhagen pic.

Lightning Talk: Book Club Lewis (https://twitter.com/denhamparry) presented a lightning talk at Swansea Software Development Meetup (SSDM) about the new Cloud Native Wales (CNW) Book Club initiative. The venue that SSDM have at TechHub, Swansea is fantastic. Its a 2 minute walk from the train station and a really comfortable area to watch and give talks. The lightning talk was based on the Ignite format of 15 seconds per slide with a total of 20 slides.

OUR FIRST MEETUP The date is 10th May 2018, you wake up in the morning, thinking it is going to be just like any other day. A yawn and a couple of stretches later it dawns on you that today is the day of the first ever Cloud Native Wales meetup! The one, that Lewis and Salman have been planning for months. Mild panic sets in, to calm your nerves you the following thoughts go through your head:

Inception It’s a common start to a meetup story, it started in a bar after a couple of beers. I (@denhamparry) attended NDC London at the start of the year (2018) and was booked in for a Kubernetes Workshop with Ben Hall. Speaking with Ben after the workshop I mentioned that I was trying to get into speaking at events and meetups, to which he said “Well, I don’t think anyone has set up Cloud Native Wales…”.
