#vBrownBag Episodes

It is finally upon us, just over a week until the first TechTalks of VMworld EMEA 2015 in Barcelona.
The TechTalks will, as always, be held in the Hang Space. We couldn’t make this happen without the support of the VMware Communities team and our sponsors, listed at the bottom. […]

It’s just over a week until VMworld EMEA 2015 kicks off in Barcelona. The TechTalk schedule is filling up, but there are still spaces for more presentations. We are also delighted to welcome back another regular sponsor, Brocade is continuing to support the community through the #vBrownBag TechTalks. If you have a topic for a

I recently attended The Reckoning conference hosted by John Mark Troyer. John is the former program manager for VMware’s vExpert program. John has a reputation as a master community builder. He’s a sought after consultant for enterprise IT vendors looking to jump start or fine-tune their community programs. The Reckoning conference was the first in what I’d assume many conferences focused on community and IT careers. Prior to the official start of the event the vBrownBag team hosted an unconference.

Every once in a while there is a day that brings together people that are from down the street, across the country and around the world with an attempt to make the world a slightly better place.  While this sounds like quite the audacious goal, The Reckoning aims to:

• Do Work That Matters
• Beyond Technologist: Communicator, Businessperson
• Be a Creator, Not An Operator

I have been lucky enough to be in attendance to represent Nexenta but also my history and background.  Kicking off the day with an unconference that was hosted by Cody Bunch and Alastair Cooke of vBrownbag we started with a generic list of topics that those in attendance thought were important to the community, the tech sector and hopefully others that could not attend.  I have done these before and the ideas tend not to get to flow past the group in attendance, and since the first break out, I volunteered to lead it seems only write to pass on some of the insight from those that may have been there, might want to go there or those that are just guessing but either way they are nuggets of knowledge.

VMworld USA has come and gone for another year again. Naturally the vBrownBag crew were there in force. Many presented sessions as part of their day job and many were there to learn. As we have for the past few years we made a lot of TechTalk videos, over 60 videos this year. As usual we

As I mentioned a couple of months ago the vBrownBag crew will be at John Troyer’s The Reckoning event next weekend (13 & 14 September). In particular we will be organizing the vBrownBag Unconference on Sunday afternoon from 2-5pm. The vBrownBag Unconference is made possible by the support of SimpliVity. Once that is over we

I am really looking forward to the OpenStack Summit in Tokyo. Not just because the vBrownBag TechTalks are so interesting. Also, because I loved my three days in Tokyo last year and want to see more of the city. The OpenStack Foundation have asked us to make TechTalks again, you can sign up to present
