 Lean Coffee? It's a structured but agenda-less meeting. Participants gathe

 mail [masked] with your suggestions\, which we'll vote on at the event.\n\
 nThe evening will be an interactive event with lots of opportunities for Q
 &A. Please note that we'll be starting at the earlier time of 6:00 pm. Her
 e’s more info about Brendan's presentation and demo:\n\nGitLab CI/CD wit
 h Brendan O’Leary\, Senior Developer Evangelist:\n\nFor many years\, we 
 lived in a world where it was hard for an average engineering organization
  to have truly professional-grade tools and processes to build and release
  software. The industry reaction to that was an explosion of tools that\, 
 in some ways\, make it more confusing when trying to understand what your 
 team should spend their time on. You want your team to spend their time de
 livering value for your customers\, not stitching together different tools
 . However\, understanding the best practices around CI and CD learned over
  the past decade is critical for large-scale production applications. That
  is - the ability to reliably and repeatable build\, test\, deploy review 
 applications and deploy to production - is critical for collaborating and 
 delivering better software faster. In this talk and demo\, we'll spend som
 e time going over the lessons learned\, and then use that understanding to
  explore what how GitLab CI/CD came to be. And how a single application fo
 r your entire DevOps lifecycle can get your team back to what they do best
  - engineering amazing software for your customers.\n\nBrendan O'Leary is 
 a Senior Developer Evangelist at GitLab\, the first single application for
  the DevSecOps lifecycle as well as a governing board member at the Cloud 
 Native Computing Foundation and advisor to various startups. That means he
  connects with developers\, contributes to open source projects\, and shar
 es his work with about cutting-edge technologies on conference panels\, me
 etups\, in contributed articles and on blogs. He has a passion for softwar
 e development and iterating on processes just as quickly as we iterate on 
 code. Working with customers to deliver value is what drives Brendan's pas
 sion for DevOps and smooth CI/CD implementation. Brendan has worked with a
  wide range of customers - from the nation's top healthcare institutions t
 o environmental services companies to the Department of Defense. Outside o
 f work\, you'll find Brendan with 1 to 4 kids hanging off of him at any gi
 ven time or occasionally finding a moment alone to build something in his 
 workshop.\n\nPlease RSVP quickly and let us know what burning issue we sho
 uld discuss over Lean Coffee!\n\nhttps://www.devopschat.co/meetings/devops
