I'm doing it again - a webinar with @justingarrison.com and @detiber.us. This time, I'm bringing #ClusterAPI experts together. One to tell us why to love it and one to tell us why not to use it. It should be entertaining! Register: streamyard.com/watch/KXkWDG...

Forever when I’m in Germany, I’ll remember my dear friend Rich - we spent a lot of time together while at isc-hpc. And the time someone said I looked just like Angela Merkel and Rich’s forever hand together bow when he saw me. Makes me smile remembering him.

I love most everything about Germany... Except the pickling of everything. Pickle a cucumber. Brine poultry in pickle juice. Play pickleball. But leave the onions alone! They are awesome. Just the way they are.

Finding my phone number (I have no idea how), relentlessly calling me, and continuing to sell to me when I ask you to take me off your list is a sure way to put your product at the bottom of my list. 👀 at you @zoominfo.bsky.social and that community tracking tool I’ve already blocked.

What are you doing to stay healthy today? 1. I roasted some fresh coffee beans. 2. Drinking a mocha latte by the fireplace. 3. Dog will get a nice long walk. 4. Spending my time learning - a combination of technology, leadership, marketing, and foreign language.

One thing I have discovered in the last few days of using BlueSky more regularly (with critical mass!): While on Twitter, I thought that many of my old friends had gone silent. Turns out, the algorithm there was just never showing their posts. Now I am discovering what old friends are up to!

A surprising side effect of the business @emilyfreeman.bsky.social and I run is that we get a bunch of companies coming to us asking for referrals on great DevRel people they can hire. I know of a few openings at the moment. if you are in DevRel and interested, could you reply to this thread?

I believe the future of open source needs more give and less take, so I wrote something. I've seen a change in how organizations are consuming open source technologies. Less contributing back, but not shy about the use. Read my article and let me know what you think. thenewstack.io/the-future-o...

The Future of Open Source Needs More Give and Less Take

It's time for frank, direct, and frequent conversations about what consuming open source means and how you can give back.
