"Do you know who Mario Casas is?" I was recording at a gym in Madrid on when the owner asked me this.

Mario is an award winning Spanish film and TV actor. We both love boxing.

If you're passionate about your passion, you'll find yourself in the right place at the right time.

Photos I got from a taxi in Nepal with some rain and Bill Evans music!

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Scott Rigby!

Could be Helm, could be Flux, could be co-organizing KCD New York or coming down to KCD Guatemala where I'll be in June, Scott has got so many community things going on I don't know how he keeps track of it all.

Onward!

Meeting @kube.fm guests like Miguel in real life is always great fun.

After 5 seasons of the podcast, we've spoken to people from all over the world who offer the community something unique.

Check out his approach to observability from the birdwatcher's perspective-

Next level color coordination? That's right- it's @bettyjunod.bsky.social!

If you're in Kathmandu and you want to train boxing, muay thai, or jiu-jitsu, you definitely need to check out The Vibe Boxing Club.

These are just the photos I got, but I'll upload my interview with the founder Coach Ezekiel soon.

Onward!

Yesterday I met Yawan in Bungamati, Nepal — he’s 18, visually impaired, and wants to learn to code to build tools for others like him.

What are the best dev resources for the visually impaired?

Asking for a friend, and this time for real!

Namaste Nepal!

With the buzz of 12,500 people in the same place, it's hard to get quality time with the folks we love.

I was in the right place at the right time to see @dlectronique.bsky.social who was been my conference ADHD "Accountabilibuddy" with another amazing superstar @hannahfoxwell.net. #kubecon

Is this the final swag boss? Does @olensmar.bsky.social's plushie have a rival in the Cloud Native world? What do you think? #kubecon

Sharing is caring, even if it means Rob Koch letting Milad Vafaeifard borrow his imaginary gun. They showed me how they explain films in sign language, and let's see if you can guess which one Milad is imitating here!

When you consistently tackle challenges, growing as a person and a professional, inspiring others to do things they never thought they could, and you do it all with a smile the whole way- yep, that's @edithpuclla.bsky.social in #kubecon!

"I go to KubeCon for the people." We all say it. Here we can see it. @boredabdel.bsky.social and @divyamohan.com. #kubecon

SREs: not all traffic drops are outages. Sometimes it’s Diwali. Or the World Cup.

@rootly.com's digging into that with LLMs- check out what their Head of Devrel @sylvainkalache.bsky.social had to say about it at KubeCon.

If it weren't for this amazing, resilient human, I never would have attended a KubeCon.

Nothing but love for Ihor and what he stands for.

So happy I ran into him on Friday when the event ended.

Onward!

KubeCon happens quickly- I got to speak to
@jonobacon.bsky.social for just enough time to get a few pictures in.

When I started in community work in the cloud native ecosystem in 2020, it took me far too long to learn about Jono which would have saved me a great deal of time & confusion!

KubeCon gives us many reasons to celebrate, and Carla Gaggini's birthday is one of them! Working hard at the booth, making sure every detail is taken care of to support her team, she's always doing it with class and pizzazz.

Happy Birthday Carla! #kubecon

Ambassadors on the move- just ran into Faeka @aakansha.bsky.social @shivaylamba.bsky.social who are a whirlwind moving through the community, sharing ideas, and doing it with a smile! #kubecon

Photos from the KubeCon Keynotes- see anyone you know?

Ram Iyengar is one of a kind! Also shoutout to @paulalkennedy.bsky.social nedy for her tireless work in making Platform Engineering day a massive success yet again!

In less than 25 seconds in these photos I just took you'll see community members from Egypt, India, Ireland, the US, and South Korea. Each with a story to tell, with knowledge to share.

It's also Monika Rajput's 26th birthday and she's celebrating in style at @KubeCon_ London!
April 1, 2025 at 2:11 PM
Behind the scenes photos of Day 2 of recordings at the @controlplane.io office for the hashtag#flux mini-series we are doing at @kube.fm

See anyone you know?

Get the right people in the room and the rest will take take care of itself.

I'll be interviewing the creators, maintainers, and some major end users of Flux over the next few days in a special mini-series @kube.fm is producing with @controlplane.io.

Stay tuned!
