For our meetup #50, we have a very special guest, none other than Patrick Debois who coined the term #DevOps that we know today. He also started the DevOpsDays conferences which expanded to all corners of the world.

This is a meetup you do not want to miss: an insightful talk about trust, tools, DevOps, DevSecOps, and more. Followed by the unique opportunity to ask Patrick everything you always wanted to know about DevOps! For instance, why is it called DevOps? Why is there no common definition of what DevOps is? Time to be curious and engaged!

If you're not familiar with Patrick's early work on DevOps, this is a good starting point: https://www.infoq.com/interviews/debois-devops

NOTE: START TIME IS BACK TO 19H PORTUGAL TIME (GMT+1)

Link to Zoom (videoconference) will be visible on this page on the right side (under "Online event") once you are logged in and registered for this meetup.

The event starts at 19:00 sharp, please try to connect on time!

There will be plenty of time for questions and chatting after the talks!

TALK: Trust Me, We're Doing DevSecOps
Speaker: Patrick Debois

Many of the Dev*Ops talks revolve around tools and culture. There are some good, fascinating talks all shouting: “All for the great (business) good!” Yet, they rarely address topics at the interpersonal, relationship level. Pipelines and automation increases our confidence in the process, but does it increase our trust in people? Are we really asking the right questions when we adopt a new tool or do yet another company transformation?

1. We start the talk by looking into different models of trust (the currency of trust, faith vs trust, trust vs beliefs...); 2. Translate them to day-to-day activities in organisations (reviewing a pull request, security audits, the backlog graveyard, full stack development...); 3. How trends like DevOps and DevSecOps relate to trust and confidence (autonomous teams, you build it you run it, hiring for remote...); 4. As an extra bonus we will hold a mirror to ourselves while exploring how we trust tools (how we pick an OSS library, select a SaaS solution, the Ikea Effect, chaos engineering...); 5. Finally we validate how we can make ourselves more trustworthy (borrowing from Promise Theory)

I have no psychology degree, but given my grey hair and lots of stories from the trenches, I hope you can trust me enough to give you an entertaining and thoughtful talk.

Patrick is Director of Dev (heart) Ops Relations at Snyk (snyk.io). He's an eternal implementor and pragmatic researcher and he released #devops onto the world through devopsdays (devopsdays.org).

Remember our guidelines of engagement in the video call, to make sure things run as smoothly as possible:

1. When you join, you will be muted to avoid noise

2. We ask you to rename yourself to include your name and city/location

3. Turn on your webcam if you don’t mind, so we can recognize each other’s faces and make this more in-person like, we're friendly :)

4. After each presentation, there will be a Q&A round

5. If you have a question, “Raise hand” to let us know OR write it in the chat

5.1. If you “raise hand”, we will call your name and unmute you so you can ask the question

5.2. If you write the question in the chat, we will read it out loud

6. Feel free to use the chat for discussions with other participants

7. We will keep the call open for 10/15m after the talks for further discussion, virtual networking if you like :)
