Diversity in Tech, Openspace at Devops Days

… diversity in tech, or shall I say, the lack thereof. It’s a tough topic, the problem is so vast and multi-faceted that it’s hard to even know where to start, so I’m afraid I cannot report any major breakthroughs or deep insight. I will share some observations, opinions and emotions though – sorry, it is an emotional topic.

Intel Developer Forum Hackathon

During a conference-rich week two weeks ago, Pivotal was invited to participate in a coding contest that was a part of the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) held at Moscone. The event hosted 15-20 college students, forming two teams that would compete against an Intel team; the task: build an innovative application for junior high math students. The main thing the applications would be judged on was cloud-readiness, and this is where Pivotal came in – the applications would be deployed to Cloud Foundry.
