DevOops #6 - Unconference

As we celebrate the 1-year anniversary of our DevOops Amsterdam, we're shaking things up with a mini unconference. It will be an evening of fun, learning, and, most importantly, your input.

What is an unconference?
An unconference is an open-style event with no formal speakers. Instead, the sessions are discussion-oriented. It is a great place to practice public speaking when you don’t normally do it. For DevOops that means we have 1 slot with 2-3 different sessions.

Agenda

18:20 - Welcome

21:00 - Doors closed

Who is leading a session and how to lead?
We value diversity and encourage everybody to get involved. The goal is to provide a respectful and supportive environment. You can submit a topic and already indicate that you are up for leading it. But no worries you can also suggest topics without the need to become a session leader.

Once we know which sessions are voted, we will publish the sessions and also indicate which sessions still need a leader. So you can step up there too. We will provide some help and ideas on how to prepare your session. In the meanwhile this guide gives some first ideas.
