Hello NYC Kubernauts!

We’re very excited about our September event. This month, we're headed back to the ASAPP offices at One World Trade Center. You’ll want to bring a government issued ID and match your meetup profile name with it.

First up, longtime group member Alberto Torres will introduce his open-source project tattletale (https://github.com/botwhytho/tattletale), a Kubernetes operator that uses Custom Resources to keep Kubernetes Secrets & ConfigMaps in-sync across namespaces. He will discuss the challenges he encountered and lessons learned while working on tattletale, his first project in the Kubernetes ecosystem and his first project using golang.

Then, Justin Cappos from NYU will give us a peek into the efforts of CNCF's SIG-Security - learn what it is and how you can contribute.

We look forward to seeing you at the event!

LOCATION / INSTRUCTIONS

We’ll be hosting at One World Trade Center, which is a building that takes security seriously. You’ll want to insure you arrive with a government issued ID, and that your meetup profile name matches that ID, as that is what we’ll be sharing with the front-desk as our attendee list.

The meetup map is a little glitchy, so the actual address is:
ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER
80th FLOOR
NEW YORK, NY 10007

You’ll want to use one of the SIDE entrances to join us at the meetup. There should be side entrances on the Fulton St side or the Vesey St. If you find yourself inside of the One World Observatory with a big line of tourists, you’re in the wrong place. Exit and find an entrance from Fulton or Vesey.
