DevOps/IT Meetup


The first meeting of the Wilmington DevOps/IT Meetup was a success! We had about 20 people of all different tech backgrounds attend and talk shop over some drinks and appetizers (thanks Vittles!).



The group included programmers, system admins, security analysts, embedded systems engineers, managers of software dev, an IT professor from UNCW, and an investor. To kick off the meet-up I gave a quick overview on “What is DevOps?” and we discussed ideas for presentation topics for future meetups. It was agreed that we wanted to hear talks of a more technical nature, e.g. programming languages, frameworks, stacks, as well as high-level discussions on methodologies, e.g. agile and scrum, best practices, and business.


The collective skills and knowledge of the group is way too long to list here, but suffice to say we’ll have plenty to learn from one another going forward. The next Meetup will be Thursday December 4th @ 6pm. See http://www.meetup.com/Wilmington-DevOps-and-IT/ for more details and signup!
