Welcome to the Melbourne Docker User Group

We are a local community for developers, students, and tech workers in Melbourne. It does not matter if you work at a large company in Cremorne or study at a university in Parkville. If you build software, this group is for you.

We know that software is changing fast. In 2026, we focus on more than just basic containers. We look at how Docker helps with Artificial Intelligence (AI), security, and building your own apps.

Who is this group for?

You do not need to be an expert to join. We welcome:

Founders and Startup Engineers: You are shipping a product with a small team, and infrastructure is the tax you pay to do it. You want it cheap, portable, and not a second job.

AI Creators: You use Python and Docker to run AI models and agents on your computer.

System Builders: You manage large systems and care about keeping software safe and secure.

Indie Developers: You build apps by yourself using simple, low-cost tools.

Students: You are learning to code and want to understand the skills employers look for today.

What happens at our events?

We meet in person because face-to-face trust is important in the Melbourne tech village. Here is what you can expect:

Live Demos: We prefer to show how things work instead of just talking about them. We like to see real coding, even if mistakes happen.

Simple Explanations: We break down hard topics. We explain how AI agents talk to software and how to stop hackers.

Career Growth: Meet people who can help you solve a problem or find your next job.

Our Community Rules

We are a friendly space. There are no "bad" questions here. We believe in helping each other learn, from fixing a small error to building a large system.

Join us at our next meetup. Let’s build something together.

Welcome to the Power Platform User Group Albania! Based in Tirana, this community is dedicated to professionals, enthusiasts, and organizations leveraging the Microsoft Power Platform—Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Microsoft Copilot Studio—to drive digital transformation and innovation.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build a collaborative and inclusive environment where members can share knowledge, best practices, and real-world experiences with the Power Platform. We aim to foster continuous learning, problem-solving, and networking through regular meetups, workshops, and discussions.

Cloud Native Melbourne is the CNCF community group for Melbourne's platform, infrastructure and cloud native practitioners.

We meet through the year for practitioner talks on Kubernetes, platform engineering, observability, open source and the wider CNCF landscape. Our audience is platform engineers, SREs, architects and engineering leads — people who run this in production and want to hear how it actually went for someone else.

We are vendor-neutral. Speakers are welcome from any company, but talks are about the problem, not the product.

What we look for

Real implementation stories. What you ran, what it cost you, what broke, and what you would do differently. We prefer live demos and honest retrospectives over polished overviews.

Some topics our community cares about: platform engineering and internal developer platforms; Kubernetes in production, including the unglamorous parts; observability, OpenTelemetry, SLOs and on-call reality; open source across the CNCF landscape; cost, scale and the trade-offs you actually made; AI and agentic workloads on cloud native infrastructure.

Formats

Lightning talk, 5 to 10 minutes. One idea, one lesson, one demo. Ideal if you have not spoken before.

Deep dive, 20 to 40 minutes. A full case study or workflow, with time for questions.

First-time speakers welcome

You do not need to be an expert or an experienced speaker. Some of our best talks come from people doing it for the first time. We will help you shape the topic, review your slides, and rehearse the demo before the night.

Where and when

Melbourne, in person, on our scheduled dates through the year. Venues are hosted by partners across the CBD and Docklands and are confirmed per event.

We also work closely with Cloud Native Sydney, Cloud Native Auckland, Cloud Native Wellington and KSUG.AI, and we help run KCD Melbourne.

Questions: thiago.shimada@gmail.com

We follow the CNCF Code of Conduct.

Unsere Entra Community Germany beschäftigt sich mit den Lösungen aus der Microsoft Identity Platform, welches die Identity & Access Management Lösungen aus der Microsoft Cloud darstellen.

Das Ziel ist der gemeinsame Austausch zum praktischen Unternehmenseinsatz von Azure Active Directory, Verified ID und dem Multi-Cloud Management mit Microsoft Entra Permissions Management.

Der Hybride Ansatz soll dafür sorgen, dass niemand ausgeschlossen wird und wir alle gemeinsam wachsen und Spaß haben können.

Wir freuen uns auf spannende Tech Sessions und vielfältige Diskussionsbeiträge zu den wachsenden IAM Lösungen von Microsoft!

About PyLadies Vancouver

PyLadies is an international mentorship group focused on helping more women become active participants and leaders in the Python open source community. Our mission is to promote, educate, and advance a diverse Python community through outreach, education, conferences, events, and social gatherings.

PyLadies Vancouver is the local chapter, run by volunteers from across the Greater Vancouver area. We've been organizing meetups here for over ten years, bringing together people who write Python professionally, are learning it, or are simply curious about it.

Our meetups are free, in person, and open to everyone. A typical evening features one or two talks, time to ask questions, and plenty of space to meet other people in the local Python community.

We welcome all women, inclusive of trans women. We extend a special invitation to nonbinary folks, as many (but not all) of the oppressions facing women in our industry are also experienced by nonbinary individuals. People of any gender identity are welcome to attend, but should respect that PyLadies Vancouver is a place where women's voices are centered.
