I'm writing again. This one was fun! Marketing Lessons from My Dog's Questionable Habits On my hike, my dog CC found a big ole cow pie to roll around in. She rolls on her back, wiggling from left to right with a big smile on her face. lnkd.in/p/gyY8Zum2

I'm doing it again - a webinar with @justingarrison.com and @detiber.us. This time, I'm bringing #ClusterAPI experts together. One to tell us why to love it and one to tell us why not to use it. It should be entertaining! Register: streamyard.com/watch/KXkWDG...

Who will be at #OSSummit in Amsterdam next week? I will be and at the @SideroLabs . Let me know and let's catch up!

Oh wow. A great lost. #RIPOzzy

Yes, I planned this webinar. Yes, I want to talk candidly about budget pressure & how to optimize #Kubernetes environments. Can I keep @justingarrison.com @elchefe.me focused???! You'll have to join to see! Guaranteed to be an hour of fun and knowledge with the three of us! @siderolabs.com

Forever when I’m in Germany, I’ll remember my dear friend Rich - we spent a lot of time together while at isc-hpc. And the time someone said I looked just like Angela Merkel and Rich’s forever hand together bow when he saw me. Makes me smile remembering him.

Whelp - I have a few places to go before I get to ‪@kcd-sfbayarea.bsky.social‬ Like CND Munich (this week!) OSS EU (end of August) REGISTER - this is going to be an epic event! @lisamarienamphy.bsky.social See you there. Bring wine! :) community.cncf.io/events/detai...

I love most everything about Germany... Except the pickling of everything. Pickle a cucumber. Brine poultry in pickle juice. Play pickleball. But leave the onions alone! They are awesome. Just the way they are.

On a networking call yesterday, my friend said to me, "your dog sure is an important part of your life". Yes she is!

Hello #KubeCon and #KubeKhan people! Today 14:30 I'm doing a mic drop My last preso at one at these events. Amanda Katona and I are talking about balancing #opensource project needs with product needs. I will actually drop the mic. Or the lavalier. If I can get away with it. ;) 🎤 💥

Did Trump and Vance seriously just blame the crash in DC on DEI hires???

Happy holidays all! This is one happy labrador with her new toy!

Cross sharing some thoughts I wrote in LinkedIn. I’m genuinely interested in your take on the topic of technology and environmental sustainability. www.linkedin.com/posts/kimmcm...

Post #KubeCon activities (in order) Dinner with friends Putting home office together after moving homes Resting Denver Broncos (and a win!) How was your weekend?

Happy Monday! Enjoy this #KubeCon family feud from Friday's keynotes! One of the best features of #Kubernetes - the community (of course)!

Best way to finish up #KubeCon - with good friends! Great seeing everyone and you all enjoy your last day. I’m almost home and I’m taking the dog for a walk!

@collcoll.bsky.social and @sublimi.no getting ready for #KubeJam at #KubeCon. Get ready to listen to Superstition!

If anything is constant, it's change. I'm excited to share I've joined @siderolabs.com and working @justingarrison.com. Read more here. And if you are at #KubeCon, let's catch up! www.linkedin.com/posts/kimmcm...

Finding my phone number (I have no idea how), relentlessly calling me, and continuing to sell to me when I ask you to take me off your list is a sure way to put your product at the bottom of my list. 👀 at you @zoominfo.bsky.social and that community tracking tool I’ve already blocked.

Anyone looking to get hands on with Kubernetes should attend this one.

Want to learn about a different way to work with your #Kubernetes environment? And you are in SLC? Come join us Tuesday afternoon. www.portainer.io/events-kubec...

“I don’t ship magic to production”. @justingarrison.com #Rejekts2024 What K8s should learn from other orchestrators

#rejekts2024 and seeing everyone is like coming home. For a great holiday. With great coffee. Minus the family drama. ❤️❤️❤️ Hi @castrojo.bsky.social!

@jperlow.bsky.social's advice on moving forward, staying healthy, being productive, and enjoying life.

What are you doing to stay healthy today? 1. I roasted some fresh coffee beans. 2. Drinking a mocha latte by the fireplace. 3. Dog will get a nice long walk. 4. Spending my time learning - a combination of technology, leadership, marketing, and foreign language.

The skies are looking blue for the Cloud Native community Every day there's more people on the starter pack. We might need to scale up soon go.bsky.app/RCerxDE

What’s the last phase of every job interview? References The people who DID THE JOB WITH HIM last time aren’t voting for him to do the job again. That should tell you everything you need to know.

October is a month of high activity for me. This year, I've added a new job and new house to the mix. It’s a lot to handle, and I'm reflecting on my past, my future, and the lessons I want to carry forward. Read more and see you at KubeCon SLC! www.linkedin.com/pulse/naviga...

❤️ this! Thank you Winstina for including me in #AllThingsOpen even when I'm not attending in person. Miss you all! I hope you are having a great time!

If I can find anything positive to say about Amazon, it's this. They make it super easy to cancel my ad-free subscription and Prime benefits.

FreeBSD Foundation has some open positions for technical marketing (not posted yet) and solutions specialist (think Dev Advocate + technical marketing + getting people to use the open source operating system). If interested, ping me. freebsdfoundation.org/open-positio...

Yes cloud native nerds. Continue the mass exodus, I think the majority of us are here @kubernetes.bsky.social @cncf.bsky.social ☁️🐦

One thing I have discovered in the last few days of using BlueSky more regularly (with critical mass!): While on Twitter, I thought that many of my old friends had gone silent. Turns out, the algorithm there was just never showing their posts. Now I am discovering what old friends are up to!

Doctors recommend more exercise

A surprising side effect of the business @emilyfreeman.bsky.social and I run is that we get a bunch of companies coming to us asking for referrals on great DevRel people they can hire. I know of a few openings at the moment. if you are in DevRel and interested, could you reply to this thread?

The Cloud Native starter pack now has 76 people! 📈 go.bsky.app/RCerxDE

Are you trying to figure out where to social? I've left X, post here on LinkedIn, and spending more time on Bluesky. My friend @jperlow.bsky.social wrote this - a good guide on moving from X to Bluesky. www.zdnet.com/article/how-...

I began removing nearly 9,000 Twitter posts. This isn't just a cleanup—it's a reckoning with the impact of Twitter’s recent changes on my decision to step away. Here’s why this journey matters and what led me to take this drastic step. www.linkedin.com/posts/kimmcm...

I believe the future of open source needs more give and less take, so I wrote something. I've seen a change in how organizations are consuming open source technologies. Less contributing back, but not shy about the use. Read my article and let me know what you think. thenewstack.io/the-future-o...

My happy place. Good morning!

I woke up to this in the fake grass area where CC goes. This is about 5 am, before coffee, and before I was fully awake. Her training and my screeching "leave it" and "house" worked!
