Orlando DevOps Story Time

Orlando DevOps Community Group presents Storytime!

Join us the first Thursday every other month starting in March for Storytime Social! 

Storytime Social is a social event where we will have 2 - 4 "presenters" talk about something that they are passionate about, without the requirement of a slide deck, presentation, notes, or anything! These are meant to be stories rather than presentations, however if some slides or demo screens will help, all the better! 

Some examples could be: tell us about your job / role, a problem you solved, a product you work on, a subgroup you are in, how you got to where you are today, etc. 

We are looking for volunteers and want to be able to track them easily, so complete our Sessionize form if you are interested in participating. This will allow us to be prepared to go at the socials!
