Habitat - https://www.habitat.sh/

Habitat is a new approach to automation that focuses on the application instead of the infrastructure it runs on. With Habitat, the apps you build, deploy, and manage behave consistently in any runtime — bare metal, VMs, containers, and PaaS. You'll spend less time on the environment and more time building features.

Triumph Brewery

After the meeting is over, we'll head over to Triumph right across the street.

Parking

Parking is available, but it's paid parking. The machines take cash or credit cards.

Length

Talks generally last about an hour, depending on Q&A. We encourage discussion. This is, after all, a meet up!

Recording

Recording of the talks are usually allowed provided the recordings are shared freely and not sold. However, keep the focus on the speaker. If you are attending and do not wish to be recorded, let us know and we can ensure this doesn't happen.
