Hi Organizers and Community members,

I run the tech department at Globalyhub. We build SaaS products for international market and are interested to provide venue for this meetup.

We have a dedicated event space in our office that can seat ~50 people comfortably. We are located in Kumaripati, Lalitpur. Link to google maps

There's plenty of street parking for bikes and scooters. We also have an underground parking space that will fit about 2 cars. If we start in the evening, there's usually ample street parking on the main road. There are also paid options nearby, such as this one which is 5 mins walk from the venue.

We're also open to provide sponsorships to cover (some of) the meetup costs. Please let me know if there's any sponsorship model that the meetup has .

Also happy to help out with any organising tasks in my personal time!

Cheers, Nootan

Hi @noots-globally, We are still looking for potential speakers either physical or online. If you know please let us know so we can reach out to them. Once we decide on this finalization of the speaker, we will decide on the venue. Cheers : D

We are prioritizing for Offline Meetup in April which we were discussing by end of last meetup, so heading up towards that.

Thanks @noots-globally for offering the venue. The description is a fit for us. Are you okay for the date/time 26th April, 2024, 5PM-7PM UTC+5:45?

About sponsorships, the venue is expected to provide space, mics-speakers and tea-coffee-cookies. We have 10-15 minutes coffee break between sessions as a part of socializing.

And 1-2 slots of 5 minutes for sponsors to pitch product/tool/services and job vacancy aligning with our meetup theme and sponsor snacks/goodies for the event.

[noots-globally]

The date and time sounds good for us! Let's lock it in!

Hi organizers,

I reached out to my network and @ashokpokharel977 is interested to be part of the meetup as a speaker. We chatted a bit about the topics and since he primarily works with AWS, it'll likely be related to that.

@ashokpokharel977 , It was nice talking to you over the phone. I'll let the organizers move forward with the process.

Hi guys,

I would like to show my interest this time for sharing my experience in learning the internals of container 🚢 technology. My objective to share my experience and at the same letting know of the fundamentals of container technology is a simplest possible way. I am planning to show case step by step commands and examples that will take audiences through the journey however, I haven't finalized the title and content so far but showing my interest. 😄

Thanks.

[ashokpokharel977]

Hi everyone,

I do have two topics in mind haven't decided yet.

1. Architecting on AWS from a Security Lens It will cover all security aspects while designing and deploying solutions in the AWS cloud. ( Security on all Layers )

2. DevOps Sagas It will cover definitions, capabilities, indicators of success, metrics, and anti-patterns for designing, developing, securing, and efficiently operating software at a cloud scale. ( Sustainable DevOps practices )

Based on the community interest I can present on any one. Please share your interests, I will prepare accordingly .

Thanks.

[omegazyadav]

My vote is for 1. Architecting on AWS from a Security Lens.

[thapakazi]

Thanks you guys for your interest as speaker :) @rbalman and @ashokpokharel977

We just sent you an email to confirm the topics. Cheers 🎉

[dwdraju]

Will publish the event in meetup page by start of next week. Happy new year to all 🎉

Hi guys,

Just revised the design and added a QR code for the RSVP link. I've also taken the liberty to add sponsorship logos. The designs are in Canva as well.

[dwdraju]

Thanks @nootanghimire. Sadly, the photo doesn't match the specification to fit as Featured photo on meetup.com event. Should be at least 1200 x 675 pixels.
