Andrew Burden

I am a community facilitator for KubeVirt, a CNCF incubating project that extends the Kubernetes API to provide for virtualization workloads to run natively alongside container workloads. Why is that cool? Primarily because it lowers infrastructure and administration burdens (no relation) by running and treating legacy or uncontainerisable VMs like any other Kubernetes object. There are also added security, isolation, and resource allocation benefits – particular vGPU – from VMs.

Running events, calendars, and keeping on top of CfPs for your community
Andrew Burden

If you love your community but struggle to stay on top of event organising, or the multi-layered calendar of deadlines and milestones, then you're not alone. It is relentless (and not all that much fun).

In this lightning talk, I'm going to cover some timelines for running events – whether it be in-person or virtual, recurring or one-off – that you can put into action for your community. I'll cover some tools and processes that have helped me and my community, as well as identify some pitfalls to avoid.
