In an attempt to be open about building some workshops, and having a central location for some code shenanigans, this repo is a simple place to submit and talk about ideas for things to do.

Goals of workshops

In trying to do some workshops to do at meetups etc, the end goals of building this is a bit multifold and depends on who you ask.

Some of the goals are:

• Building community collaboration
• Creating space for alternatives to presentations
• Increasing approachability to these topics

Themes

Following are the themes that we would like to focus the workshops under.

• Platform Knowledge
  • eg. Cloud infrastructure, service infrastructure
• Automation
• Architecture Paradigms

• Security/Ethics
• Communication
