infracoders Melbourne February
Hello Infracoders!
Please join us to talk about anything related to infrastructure as code. Thoughtworks Australia have kindly offered to host the Infracoders meetup and will supply food and beverages.
To speed up the office checkin you can pre-register with Thoughtworks here **[https://g.vkda.co/x/xa1puzPKhHQ8bYRb](https://g.vkda.co/x/xa1puzPKhHQ8bYRb)**
We usually have 2 technical talks per meetup. We start at 6pm and will be finished by 8pm. Please note there's a quick electronic sign-in process at Reception when you arrive at the office.
Presentation 1 **"Cut dev cycles from hours to seconds"** \- Dan Baker\, MetalBear\.
Have you ever made a one line code change and then waited 30 minutes for a CI run to test it in a staging environment? Test changes instantly using mirrord, an open source project that allows you to run code locally, but in the context of a Kubernetes cluster.
Presentation 2 **"Terraform vs GitOps - comparing two philosophies of deploying Kubernetes infrastructure."** \- Angus McInnes\, REA\.
A Kubernetes-based compute platform involves many interdependent components deployed into a Kubernetes cluster. One approach to deploying such a platform is using Terraform, which tracks dependencies between components and deploys them in the appropriate order. Another approach is to follow a GitOps philosophy, storing Kubernetes manifests in a Git repository and using ArgoCD to continuously synchronise the state of the cluster with the repository. I'll demonstrate and compare these two approaches.
If you'd like to present please contact infracoders organisers via Meetup with a
* talk topic
* one paragraph description
* estimate of the time you'll need (20 minutes or shorter is best)
As always, please update your RSVP as your availability changes. All venues have space considerations for safety and comfort of Infracoders.
Please contact the organisers if you'd like to present a topic relevant to the group or host a meetup at your office.
Playing with angels & nature spirits ....
**Event posted on facebook & our website too so number of people responding here does not show actual numbers attending.**
Let’s have fun exploring the worlds of angels & nature spirits. You might find you garden suddenly blooming or your pockets full of gold!
These workshops are open to anyone that wishes to come along; and at which we will be exploring, in a hands-on fashion (in other words, you get to do some of the conjuration – if you wish – or you can just watch) the invocation and evocation of angels, planetary spirits, elementals, daemons, etc.
You don’t need to wear magical robes or bring magical tools or weapons but are welcome to do so if you wish.
***Warning for those with sensitive noses. We will be burning incense.***
**Cost:** $20
**When:** Tuesday 10th February - arrive between 6.30 & 7pm if you can. If you're running late, come anyway. We go to at least 9pm.

Bayside Nature Walk Brighton Beach to Baths and Pier & Coffee @ Beach House Cafe
Join me for a relaxed walk along the beautiful Bay Trail from Brighton Beach to Middle Brighton Baths and Pier. We can enjoy walking and chatting together as we follow the water's edge, with time to make new friends and share the beauty of our surroundings.
When we reach the Dendy Street Beach we will take time to explore the 93 brightly decorated bathing boxes that make up a fun collective work of art. This is an ideal opportunity for photography. There are gorgeous views out across Port Phillip Bay and the distant city skyline.
From there we'll walk on to the historic Middle Brighton Baths, a reminder of Melbourne’s Victorian-era sea-bathing culture and then out along the Middle Brighton Pier, a popular destination for fishing and enjoying views of the bay.
**Agenda**
We will meet at the War Memorial in the Brighton Beach Gardens Green Point at 2pm. There is a photo and a map in the gallery.
We'll set off at 2.15pm and walk through the gardens to the end of Green Point. From there we'll walk down to the shoreline and stroll up to the Dendy Street Beach where we can explore the iconic coloured bathing boxes. Then we'll join the Bay Trail path and walk up to the historic Brighton Baths and out along the Middle Brighton Pier.
On the way back we'll stop in at the Beach House Cafe on Brighton Beach to pick up a coffee and a snack or you may like to bring your own drinks and something to eat. There will be time to enjoy conversations together and have a paddle in the water.
This is an easy to moderate walk along the path and on the sand in some sections. The walking distance is about 6km all up and we'll take around 2 hours.
We'll arrive back at Brighton Beach Gardens by 5pm.
**Location**
Brighton Beach War Memorial in Brighton Beach Gardens, Beach Road, Brighton near the corner of Beach Road and South Road. It is approximately 11km SouthEast of Melbourne's city centre.

Hiking for Health and Happiness!
On the third Sunday of every month we take a walk in nature.
Exercise is so important to all of us and nature has its own unique way of healing.
It helps us live in the present, enjoy our surroundings, regain balance and perspective and be pleased with ourselves for going out and doing something.
And it costs nothing except time and effort.
Our hikes are all over Greater Melbourne and afar.
Generally our walks will be 2 to 2.5 hours of moderate grade. Those who want to go more quickly can but generally we try to stay as a group and enjoy the sounds and beauty of nature together.
Please read the waiver liability before you RSVP

Join us for a nice warm bonfire and hot drinks this February at Highbanks Metropark. Folks who'd like to can walk around the meadows. This gathering and area of the park is doggo and kiddo-friendly, and is accessible to mobility aids.
Humanist Community Celebrating Darwin Day
Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program:
Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there!
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
