A group photo of the Leapter team at the WeAreDevelopers event. Nine team members are smiling and wearing matching black t-shirts that read “ONE GIANT LEAP”. They are gathered indoors in a warmly lit room, with a mix of standing and crouching poses, clearly celebrating together.

What a week. What a team. What a community.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out for Leapter at #WeAreDevelopers. Your energy, questions, and support made it real.

And yes, we really all wore the shirts. 🐸

Mario is an award winning Spanish film and TV actor. We both love boxing.

Next level color coordination? That's right- it's @bettyjunod.bsky.social!

If you're in Kathmandu and you want to train boxing, muay thai, or jiu-jitsu, you definitely need to check out The Vibe Boxing Club.

These are just the photos I got, but I'll upload my interview with the founder Coach Ezekiel soon.

Onward!

Much appreciated thank you so much!

Bart standing in Nepal near some mountains with Yawan who is a visually impaired young man from Nepal.

Yesterday I met Yawan in Bungamati, Nepal — he’s 18, visually impaired, and wants to learn to code to build tools for others like him.

What are the best dev resources for the visually impaired?

Asking for a friend, and this time for real!

Was starting to think I was alone.....

Namaste Nepal!

❤️

With the buzz of 12,500 people in the same place, it's hard to get quality time with the folks we love.

I was in the right place at the right time to see @dlectronique.bsky.social who was been my conference ADHD "Accountabilibuddy" with another amazing superstar @hannahfoxwell.net. #kubecon

Is this the final swag boss? Does @olensmar.bsky.social's plushie have a rival in the Cloud Native world? What do you think? #kubecon

Sharing is caring, even if it means Rob Koch letting Milad Vafaeifard borrow his imaginary gun. They showed me how they explain films in sign language, and let's see if you can guess which one Milad is imitating here!

When you consistently tackle challenges, growing as a person and a professional, inspiring others to do things they never thought they could, and you do it all with a smile the whole way- yep, that's @edithpuclla.bsky.social in #kubecon!

"I go to KubeCon for the people." We all say it. Here we can see it. @boredabdel.bsky.social and @divyamohan.com. #kubecon

SREs: not all traffic drops are outages. Sometimes it’s Diwali. Or the World Cup.

@rootly.com's digging into that with LLMs- check out what their Head of Devrel @sylvainkalache.bsky.social had to say about it at KubeCon.

If it weren't for this amazing, resilient human, I never would have attended a KubeCon.

Nothing but love for Ihor and what he stands for.

So happy I ran into him on Friday when the event ended.

Onward!

KubeCon happens quickly- I got to speak to
@jonobacon.bsky.social for just enough time to get a few pictures in.

When I started in community work in the cloud native ecosystem in 2020, it took me far too long to learn about Jono which would have saved me a great deal of time & confusion!

KubeCon gives us many reasons to celebrate, and Carla Gaggini's birthday is one of them! Working hard at the booth, making sure every detail is taken care of to support her team, she's always doing it with class and pizzazz.

Happy Birthday Carla! #kubecon
