+# Surfing the Argo CD sync waves
+
+If you want to be successful in your cloud native journey, a good Kubernetes-native continuous deployment (CD) tool is indispensable. You also want a declarative GitOps CD if you stick to the GitOps principles, and manage your cluster with a single source of truth, the Git repository. There are some interesting choices out there, Argo CD being one of the best. In this talk, let’s surf the sync waves together, and learn the intrinsic parts of using Argo CD to deploy, and manage applications on your clusters. We’ll explore the insightful web UI, but also play with the CLI for terminal lovers. You’ll also end up with a broader comprehension of GitOps through the lenses of Argo CD while improving your application lifecycle management (ALM).

+## Details
+
+I firmly believe it's beneficial to the cloud native ecosystem to not just learn about CNCF projects, and educate users about any open source projects that can help them being successful. Argo CD is one of the leaders when it comes to an open source alternative for GitOps ecosystems, providing a high production-ready quality continuous deployment tool. In this talk, the attendees will learn more about how to leverage GitOps with Argo CD to bring their Kubernetes game to the next level.

+# Common Bottlenecks in Collaborating on Written Content at Scale
+
+When you’re responsible for delivering a flood of high‑quality written content, whether it's blog articles, tutorials, technical docs, or internal knowledge bases, the challenges go far beyond hitting deadlines. As soon as multiple people get involved, collaboration starts to fracture. Who’s reviewing what? Which version is the source of truth? Are editorial standards being respected? Worse, context gets lost, and each round of edits increase delays and diminishes quality.
+
+In this talk, you’ll discover the invisible forces that stall your content pipeline or impair the quality of your content. From unclear ownership and misaligned expectations, to improper tooling and inconsistent style, we’ll unpack the core issues that create bottlenecks for teams as they scale. You’ll learn to diagnose the root causes of friction and implement practical tactics. Whether your team is five or fifty, you’ll be equipped to elevate content quality, and boost overall confidence in your content system without stumbling into chaos.

+# The Secret Sauce for Building a Developer Community
+
+Are you building a developer tool? Maybe your software or service isn't targeted to developers, but has a technical component for them to use it? In both cases, no matter how extraordinary the masterpiece you are crafting is, it will be quite an achievement to be successful without a community. Whether your product is open source, proprietary, free, paid or a well-balanced mix of those, not fostering a developer, DevOps and or GitOps community can be a costly business mistake.
+
+In this session, we will explore the best practices, tips, and tricks drawn from the secret sauce behind any successful developer relations programs when it comes to communities building. In the end, you’ll be equipped, no matter your role, to grow, and cultivate your very own healthy community where each side will find benefits.
+
+_Characters: 810_
+
+## Details
+
+With this talk, I want to help anyone, who is building software, understand that creating and fostering a healthy community is not optional anymore.
+
+Developers, DevOps or GitOps practitioners (me included), want to be part of something bigger than themselves. They want to fit in. They want to be heard. They want to create a relationship with a company, and see that there is a human side.
+
+There are also ample benefits on the business side in addition to ensuring you fill the needs of your users. The feedback loop becomes fluid. The growth, if done right, should be exponential, meaning more users, more paid customers, or clients investing more money in your platform.
+
+There are specific techniques to be successful when creating a cloud native community, and I intend to share the best practices to connect with a developer and technical audience, which should be approached with some guidelines in mind.

+# Developers Documentation: your hidden strength
+
+You can have the best product in your expertise area, but if your documentation isn’t on par with the flawless experience you want to offer to the world, success is not guaranteed. Let’s be real here: documentation is often an afterthought and rarely included in life cycle development processes. Still, documentation is your underestimate strength for greater adoption, and growth that you may have not known you could achieve.
+
+It’s time for you to step up your game and measure up to the big players. Learn about the benefits of high quality and educational documentation and the true role it plays in the developer community. You’ll also learn the principles of a solid foundation, and tips on how to use one of the most powerful developer relations’ tools.

+
+This talk is divided in three main acts, mainly focusing on tips, tricks and interesting examples to unleash your secret weapon, your developers documentation:
+
+- First, I explore the unknown and something undervalued benefits of an amazing documentation for developers. In other words, the benefits and possible return on investment of listening to this talk.
+- Secondly, I focus on the content part of the documentation: obviously the most important part of the documentation, but quite often neglected, which result in a poor experience for the users and customers.
+- Lastly, before encouraging attendees to take their developers documentation to the next level, I explore the container part of a successful documentation.

+# The good, the bad & the ugly of developer relations
+
+Developer Advocate is a wonderful role. It’s a chance to help people be successful while fostering growth for your employer. It’s a perfect blend of a technical position focusing on the human side of the equation. For most of us, starting that position was a dream come true. For aspiring advocates, it is an ideal opportunity for a new career. Employment in the developer relations space is amazing, but it’s not always rainbows and unicorns. There are a lot of misunderstandings about the job itself. Often total misconceptions about the goals and approaches taken to be fruitful. Based on 14 years of being the friendly, technical, approachable, and social face of different organizations, this talk will bring some real hard truths about the good, the bad and the ugly bits of our industry. Experienced devrel people will relate, and new emerging talents could learn from the past and the shared proofed solutions, prospective workarounds and clear remedies to the less exciting part of this vocation.

+# It’s a developers’ world: creating a developer relations culture
+
+Historically, developers only engaged behind the scenes by creating software. However, today, their role is evolving. They are steadily winning seats at the table, providing a bigger vision for the business, and taking the world by storm.
+
+In this session, we will focus on the traits needed to create and cultivate a collaborative and inclusive culture specially geared toward developers. Beyond the technicalities of the job, and beyond the size of your team, we’ll dig into the benefits of building a trust-based relationship with the developer community and its intrinsic role in the overall value of your products and business. From writing documentation to providing a space for your community to grow, and building a feedback mechanism, we’ll walk through the benefits, and steps needed to embrace an authentic and measurable DevRel Program.

+I firmly believe you cannot have a sustainable Open Source business if you do not care about your community and the developers. What's best to help you in that area is a developer advocate, or a developer relations' team. I want to highlight how this role help you with that journey, and my hope is that participants, even if they don't have the resource to hire someone to do that specifically, they can take what make sense for them to improve their relationship with developers, and help them, as the company, to be successful. In the end, I always say that developer relations is everyone's business, not just DevRel...

+I firmly believe that when one is thinking about using Kubernetes, GitOps is the way to go. It's slowly becoming an accepted standard, but it's still quite unknown or not used enough as a starting point when one is beginning its cloud native journey. I want to honestly highlight the pros, and cons of the GitOps principles to let people choose their path, armed with the proper information, when it comes to creating, and managing clusters. Whether you agree about the fact that GitOps should be a de facto best practice, you can't deny that your attendees need to learn about the principles, and how to get started before making this architectural decision.

+# What the Heck Is Kubernetes
+
+Ever wonder what that fuss is all about! Is this just a new technology that will die along the thousands of JavaScript libraries that were supposed to change the way we code? Is Kubernetes, K8s for close friends, really a game changer? Even if it was, do you or your project really need a container orchestration system with its clusters, controllers, pods and all those new moving pieces? My friend, I got your back, as all, yes, ALL your questions will be answered in this talk. We will demystify together what the heck is this thing. In the end, you’ll have a better understanding of the platform & its quirks, including the pros and cons, how to get started, and some must-know tools that will make your life easier.
