You're invited to our next Women in Product London event! As product managers grow in their careers, one skill becomes increasingly important: **strategy**. For this event, we’re bringing together product leaders from a range of industries and company stages to share how they approach product vision and strategy in practice: what it really means to be strategic, how you develop strategic thinking over time, and why it often becomes the defining skill that separates good PMs from great product leaders. Some of the topics will include how to develop stronger strategic thinking as you progress in your career, how to influence organisations through vision and direction, and real-world examples of turning high-level strategy into meaningful product outcomes. The evening will give you the opportunity to network with your peers over drinks and canapés before and after our speakers take the stage.

Hi folks! Welcome to our June Cloud Native London meetup! Join us to hear from our two fantastic speakers and network with your fellow techies over pizza and drinks, or alternatively chat and following along on Youtube or LinkedIn! 6:00 Pizza and drinks 6:30 Welcome 6:45 Universal Mesh: Connect and Secure Everything (Mark Boddington, HAProxy Technologies) 7:15 Building Abstractions That Matter: A Developer Platform on Kubernetes (Chaamini Mangaleswaran, WSO2) 7:45 Wrap up See you there! Cheryl (@oicheryl) **Universal Mesh: Connect and Secure Everything (Mark Boddington, HAProxy Technologies)** Managing connectivity across diverse business units, clouds, locations, and partners is a complex challenge for large organizations. Traditional solutions like VPNs and firewalls provide network-level connectivity, while Service Mesh offers application-aware traffic management for cloud-native environments – but there’s a huge difference in how these connectivity models are managed, secured, and observed. Universal Mesh bridges this gap with a unified interconnectivity model – delivering the benefits of Service Mesh in a resource-efficient model that works across your entire infrastructure. Universal Mesh brings together North-South and East-West communication in a consistent pattern to connect every cloud, app, and service. Join us to discover how Universal Mesh simplifies connectivity management, unifies security and governance, and provides consistent control over traffic flows—regardless of where your applications run or how they’re built. *Mark began his career at the close of the last millennium, working as a "pimply faced youth" (PFY) managing mini-computers (not Raspberry Pis) and 'windoze boxen' for a local brick company. He eventually specialized in Unix Systems Administration and joined NetBanx, a Silicon Fen company, where he managed and secured the application infrastructure for one of the very first payment gateway operators.* *In 2006, Mark leveraged his Unix and Networking expertise in a post-sales role at Zeus Technology, a web-server and software Load Balancer vendor. Six months later, he transitioned to pre-sales. He is currently at HAProxy - the world's fastest and most widely used software load balancer - essentially doing the same thing (but with a dash more kubernetes).* *Connect on Linkedin: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-boddington](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-boddington)* **Building Abstractions That Matter: A Developer Platform on Kubernetes (Chaamini Mangaleswaran, WSO2)** Kubernetes provides powerful building blocks, but turning those blocks into a usable developer platform is hard. Many platform teams end up assembling CI pipelines, deployment tools, portals, and monitoring systems, only to pass the resulting complexity on to developers.In this talk, I’ll share the thinking behind OpenChoreo, an open-source, modular platform designed to sit on top of Kubernetes and make it easier for developers to build and run software without needing to understand everything underneath. The key idea is simple: introduce the right abstractions, so developers can focus on shipping features while platform teams retain control and consistency.In this talk we will discuss practical examples of what to hide, what to expose, and how to avoid turning Kubernetes itself into a developer-facing interface. If you’re building or struggling with an internal developer platform, this talk is for you. *Check out [https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon](https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon) if you're interested in speaking or sponsoring.*

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
