We advertise all the upcoming activities through these two channels:
- Twitter @devopsgirls
- The devopsgirls slack chat. If you want to join DM the above twitter or email devopsgirls (at) rea-group.com. Apart from advertising activities this is agreat medium to chat with the community, ask and respond questions about devops as well as to get access to job offers in the #jobs channel.
We have a few activities that we are aiming to run semi-regularly, including:
- Weekend DevOps Workshops for Women
- Train with us! (Community seats in REA Group internal training)
- Bootcamps (We have done 3 so far but hoping to keep them happening at least twice a year)
The Women of DevOps meetups aim to create a welcoming and engaging environment for women and their allies to discuss all things DevOps.
We have a beautiful meetup ecosystem in Melbourne with a diverse range of topics and audiences, check a short list related to devops topics:
- Infracoders
- Devops Melbourne
- Melbourne Docker User Group
- Melbourne AWS Meetup
- Linux Users of Victoria
Not specific to Devops but covering Tech related topics and run in the mornings the Tech Brekky may be your cup of tea :)
Going through a certification exam is not only a good way to show your expertise to potential employers but also a good way of commiting to learning a topic in depth.
- AWS has a wide range of certifications https://aws.amazon.com/certification/
- If you want to show proficiency in Linux this used to be a really fun certification exam (all hands on and with no single answer to the exercises): https://www.redhat.com/en/services/certification
