Virtual Moka PotSince time immemorial within the Redis community, a Moka Pot is considered a token of appreciation to a member for her/his contributions.

Recently I OH Andy tweet “Looking for some folks to help maintain redis-py. It’s been neglected for too long.

The PastRedis Day (((TLV))) 2016 (12 sessions!)In case that your geographical skillset had prevented you from attending this once-in-a-lifetime-day-long-all-about-Redis event and celebrating 7 Redis years & 5 birthdays with us, we’ve got you covered – all the good stuff is in the above link for your viewing pleasure including:
Slides from RedisConf 2016While the videos are being processed (updates to follow via @redisconf & the conf’s website) you can get a sense of what we had at this once-a-year-two-days-long-all-about-Redis event from the presentations. With over 40 speakers, 30 breakout sessions and about 800 attendees (I counted the first 799, but this one guy kept moving so I couldn’t add him) it was a huge success and a memorable happening. RedisConf 2016Tommy vTexan Trogden @vTexan provides a fresh perspective on what had transpired. |
