SUMMARY:State of Container Storage Persistence Mesos\, Kubernetes\, and Docker
DESCRIPTION:Containers rock! They provide a lot of efficiencies in infrastructure deployment by giving developers control and operations consistency. Many of today’s “containers in production” applications are ephemeral and have a short life-span\, but what do you do about those containers that store data? Is there such a thing as a “dataless” datacenter? We need the ability to containerize any application whether its a database\, key:value store\, or that random java app your company built and persist its data. In fact\, 7 of the top 10 downloaded Docker containers all need data persistence! However supporting container storage persistence in production\, and at scale\, is a new activity for most. A lot of innovation in this area has occurred in the container orchestrators with Kubernetes\, Docker Swarm and Mesos. Recently\, the industry has begun working through community and open source to create standards for container storage to facilitate interoperability and user friendliness.\nJoin us for a presentation\, demo and more importantly a discussion led by Josh Bernstein\, VP of Innovation and Open Source at Dell EMC\, along with the {code} team (https://codedellemc.com/) on the state of container storage and approaches to managing persistence for major container orchestrators. And as usual we will have great food and drink.\nJosh Bernstein ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/jbernstein/) ;\nJosh is an open source advocate and lifelong technologist. As the VP of Technology for Dell\, he’s at the helm of {code}\, the open source arm of the organization focused on advancing emerging technologies to support software-based infrastructures. Prior to Dell\, Josh ran the Siri Deployment and Infrastructure Architecture team at Apple and took Siri from launch to tens of thousands of servers\, deployed in more than a dozen locations worldwide\, in under 5 years.

SUMMARY:Startup Weekend Latinx Miami
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever seen a new product\, app\, or business and thought to yourself\, “that was my idea a few years ago!”? If you have\, then that means you did not have a process for taking that idea and building it out into a prototype.\nStartup Weekend is your chance to learn how to take any idea from concept to creation within a matter of days! Whether you are looking to…\nget introduced to the world of startups and entrepreneurship\nlearn the process of putting your ideas into action\nmeet experienced\, talented\, and passionate entrepreneurs in Miami\njoin or build an all-star team\nmake meaningful connections and become part of a global community\nbeef up your resume\nStartup Weekend is your destination for the weekend of September 29th through October 1st!\nIt doesn’t matter what you do or where you come from\, Startup Weekend is designed as an inclusive event and program that brings all sorts of people together including…\naspiring & experienced entrepreneurs\,\ndevelopers and other tech-related professionals\,\ndesigners of all types\,\nnon-technical talent (i.e. business\, sales\, finance\, legal\, etc.)\nstudents from universities and high schools\,\nprofessionals looking to switch careers\,\npassionate visionaries\,\nand learners from all around Miami and the surrounding area!\nFor the full-weekend ticket you get:\nAccess to the full weekend-long event\nOpportunity to pitch your idea on Friday night @ Pitch Fire\nMentoring by all-stars from the local Miami startup community\nMeals all weekend\nCollaboration with awesome professionals from throughout Miami\nAll-star judges ready to listen to your final presentations and providing expert feedback\nMembership in the Startup Weekend Community (>200K alumni) #SWMafia\nAnd over 100 new awesome Facebook friends!\nWhy LatinX in Tech?\nThe complex intersectionalities of the Latinx (La-teen-ex) population in the U.S. coupled with their increasing technology consumption make this ethnic group one of the most misunderstood\, yet powerful communities of our time. By 2060\, over a quarter of the entire U.S. population will be Latinx – that’s about 119MM people – representing over a trillion dollars of economic power.\nAs of 2013\, Latinx Millennials and Gen-Z comprised 58% of the Latinx population. These groups are proving to be a game-changing consumer segment across markets because of the way they are influencing their communities across race\, culture\, politics\, gender identity and language — case in point\, the term Latinx.\nImagine what could happen if we gathered 500 entrepreneurially-minded Latinxs and allies over 54 hours\, in 5 different cities\, to identify and design technology solutions to problems disproportionately facing the U.S. Latinx community? What if we facilitated mentorship by some of the most talented technologists\, business innovators\, and prominent investors?\nThis Startup Weekend event is part of a 5-city LatinX in Tech campaign going on throughout Hispanic Heritage Month. Join us in this special edition of Startup Weekend Miami and help us prove that we can all learn\, work\, and create together in order to deliver better outcomes.\nNeed based scholarships available – contact us at with questions and requests miamilatinx@startupweekend.org

SUMMARY:Value Driven and Adaptive Planning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The accelerated rate of change brought about by the volatile\, uncertain\, complex\, and ambiguous nature of today’s world requires a value driven\, iterative\, and adaptive approach to requirements and planning. It requires a deep\, creative collaborative and a short feedback loop between the team doing the work\, and the stakeholders who are impacted\, to discovering and delivering valuable outcomes.\nThis workshop offers participants the first hand knowledge\, experience\, and confidence to tackle the requirements and planning of products\, solutions\, and services using an Agile\, value driven and adaptive approach.\nBeginning with a clear understanding of value\, what is valuable\, who we are creating value for and the role of Product Ownership\, including the critical role of Product Owner and the evolving role of the Business Analyst in the discovery and communication of value.\nFrom an understand of how Agile requirements and planning differ from a more traditional approach\, participants take a deep dive into User Stories – learning how to collaboratively elicit and capture requirements from the perspective of the user and how to structure those requirements into vertical slivers of functionality that enable early and frequent delivery of value.\nThe hands-on experiential nature of the workshop has participants working in teams to simulate real-world equirements elicitation and planning through a team project – using popular and effective Agile tools and techniques including Personas\, Product Visioning\, User Story Mapping\, User Story Writing\, High Speed Estimating\, Planning Poker\, Story Splitting\, Acceptance Criteria and more.\nThe Agile planning process is incomplete without the elements of inspection and adaptation. Throughout the workshop\, participants learn how to use feedback loops that are part of Scrum and other Agile methodologies to more accurately forecast outcomes and adapt to ensure the product\, solution\, or service delivered consistently delights customers and generates value.\nIncludes:\nLunch and refreshments on both days\nA comprehensive workshop\nCertificate of Completion\nDuration:\n2 – Days\nTarget Audience:\nProduct Owners\, Business / Functional / Systems Analysts\, Product Managers\, Project Managers\, Functional Managers\, Directors\, Agile Execs\, and Agile Team Members or anyone else interested in learning how to take a value driven and adaptive approach to planning and requirements.\nLearning Objectives:\nSend an email to aleon@ppl-coach.com for detailed learning objectives\nLearning Credits:\n14 PDUs for PMI\n14 SEUs for Scrum Alliance\nFacilitator:\nAnjali Leon is a veteran Agile Coach and Trainer who has introduced Agile principles and practices in a variety of industries including high-tech\, energy\, education\, healthcare\, retail\, and government. Her experience as an Agile Practicioner and her prior fifteen years of technical and leadership experience in a variety of roles – including Lead Software Engineer and Director of Product Development\, give her the unique perspective of the delicate balance between rigor and flexibility necessary for organizations to be agile and remain competitive.\nAnjali brings her vast experience\, an interactive\, participatory and engaging teaching style\, and Training from the Back of the Room techniques to create an experience that not only leave her learners feeling inspired\, knowledgeable\, competent\, and energized to put their learning into practice\, but looking forward to the next time they can attend one of her classes!\nHer credentials include a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Drexel University. She also holds certifications as a PMP (Project Management Professional)\, PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Professional)\, CSM (Certified Scrum Master)\, CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner)\, CSP (Certified Scrum Professional)\, SPC4 (Scaled Agile Professional) and is a recognized Agile Team Facilitator (ICP-ATF) and Agile Coach (ICP-ACC) through IC Agile. She is also certified as an AgilityHealth Facilitator (AHF). Anjali is an active member of South Florida’s Agile community and regularly speaks and volunteers at Agile events and conferences. She founded the South Florida Women In Agile group and mentors budding agilists.\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjali-leon-a97b636\nCancellation Policy:\nOrganizer reserves the right to cancel the class with a full refund.\nCancellation before Sept 14\, 2017 – Full refund\nCancellations within 2 weeks – 50% refund or full credit towards a future class\nBuilding Community and Giving Back:\nBe a part of building community! PPL is committed to giving back to the South Florida community.\nFor a public training offered by PPL\, we reserve some free seats for those who may not be able to afford the class.\nYour company can unlock one of these free seats! Any company that purchases 2 tickets unlocks a free slot for someone who is in transition (between jobs) or a full-time student.\nIf you are a person in transition or a full-time student interested in this class\, contact Anjali at aleon@ppl-coach.com to get on the waitlist for a free seat.
