This week has been a little tougher for some reason. Random events, terrible scheduling, below par health and just a bunch of other things. Regardless here they are.

A lot of my week has been spent doing prep and planning for DevCon Zambia (Yes, 6 months before). I've been trying to think about new ways to enable, speak about and promote collaboration in the community. Though not very related, this article by Jeremy Meiss gave me more than a few things to think about and consider.

Helps stay motivated with the job hunt at least.

On a list of things I've been wanting to go in-depth with, Kubernates is a close second. KodeKlouds idea of a Kubernates walk-through that is both engaging and informative was hard to ignore to be honest. Not to mention the Game Of Thrones vibes, if you're looking to learn too you should check it out.
