infracoders Melbourne February
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.
Freelancers/Entrepreneurs/Self-Employed Networking Night
Freelancers/Entrepreneurs/Self-Employed Networking Night
Do you run your own business or work for yourself and wish that you had a community of like-minded women who share the same experiences as you? If so, join us for a freelancers/entrepreneurs/self-employed networking night where we can share our stories over $2 dumplings. Entrepreneurship and self-employment can be a lonely journey. We go through unique things and experiences, and our ups and downs can feel a lot more intense. But there's no reason why we need to go through this experience alone, when we have a community of women who have experienced what you have, and might even be able to point you in the right direction. It doesn't matter if you're a startup founder, a self-employed designer, or a part-time freelance consultant; anyone and everyone who runs a business is welcome.

Dianetics - The MODERN science of mental health.
This meetup is your introduction to Dianetics, and you can have your questions answered. **[DIANETICS THE ALL-TIME CLASSIC ON THE HUMAN MIND](https://www.dianetics.org/about/films/what-is-dianetics.html)** For 75 years, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health has remained popular, with over 20 million copies sold across 206 nations.

But once you do, it will change your life forever. This hidden part of your mind stores painful experiences and uses them against you, altering your thoughts, emotions and behaviors in ways you don't even realize. Inside this handbook, you'll discover: • Why the same struggles keep repeating—and how you can break free • The real reason behind stress, unreasonable fears, and negative emotions • A clear step-by-step method to clear your mind and unlock your true potential This is not theory—it's a practical, one-on-one journey into your reactive mind and how you can get rid of it. You don't have to wait for change-you can start today. **Discover the Power of Your Mind** Join us for a relaxed, interactive **Dianetics Meetup**, where it's your chance to explore the groundbreaking discoveries in *Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health* and have all your questions answered. Come with your curiosity—leave with insight. Ask for Michel, Pam or Donovan.

CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
