Post Mortem:
We had to cancel the planned two-day DevOpsDays conference, simply due to lack of interest from audience. This is the canary in coal mine; DevOps(Days) choked. Let’s do a post mortem. Platform Engineering is the new DevOps — so we’re told. “No — that’s Ops, not DevOps”. Where did all the “You Build It You Run It” hype go? We will kick off discussions on this topic at the tables - while you sip your funeral beer.
Phoenix rising:
The Danish DevOpsDays Association has a new charter, new bylaws, a new purpose. We, the organizers, will lay out our plans for the future and encourage you to join.
