Training content & courses: Repo or repos or branches or all the above
by Karsten Wade
All:
The team working on SRE training are ready to setup their repositories, and
Stephanie created this issue for opening the first repository:
https://github.com/operate-first/common/issues/39
We had a meeting today with the team who is going to be working in GitHub,
and we're not sure what is the best model to follow for repositories.
Please join us there to discuss what we want the repo(s) to look like. We
particularly need help from people with experience around automation
amongst multiple repositories.
Background
=========
Stephanie and anyone else, please fix any incorrect GitHub and modularity
thinking here, thanks.
As a community, we are creating a knowledge pool of modular course
materials. Modular here means, creating discrete pieces of content, each
explaining what, how, and why for a task. The learner might be a
contributor learning or reminding how to do the task; or the learner might
be a user taking a full SRE course. The same content can be used in both
cases, but placed into a context specific for the different learner type.
This content therefore is more than a Markdown file, it has inline or
metadata (labels, etc.) that means it can be organized to appear in
multiple learning pathways.
These multiple learning pathways currently are: SRE Learners, Open Source
Developers, Project Contributors, and Data Scientists and Data Engineers.
So if combining the pool with the number of learning path options, it could
be four separate learning paths with e.g. twelve modules per path. Those
modules would comprise existing modular content, combined with content
specific to the module that shapes the relationship to the learner persona.
An example of a single module might be, "How to use GitOps to make changes
to a live production cloud." It could have the how-to and sparse-why
content (useful for Project Contributors and Open Source Developers) from
one location (a repo?), which can be combined with the full what/how/why of
a beginner's viewpoint into a single ready-to-teach module.
That's already 48 unique combinations to cover four pathways, and within
those modules it might be 3x to 5x more when combining pieces to form a
specific module.
Is this a repos problem? A branching problem? A nesting folders problem?
Or something else?
Kind regards,
- Karsten

SCaLE 19x CFP closes 30 Nov
by Karsten Wade
Hi all
If you haven't attended or heard of SCaLE, let me introduce you to one
of the best open source ecosystem and community shows on the planet:
https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/19x
We're planning a first-day workshop, something that can highlight the
work we're leading toward landing for KubeCon and Red Hat Summit later
in the year. Details are still being discussed, join in if you are
interested.
https://github.com/AICoE/content-pipeline/issues/20
For anyone interested in submitting talks, let's coordinate in that
issue as well. We can improve CFPs, co-present around complementary
topics, and generally increase chances of acceptance.
SCaLE is very friendly to new speakers and contributors, is volunteer
run, and is consistently the most diverse open source-related event year
over year. Held now in lovely Pasadena, CA at the Pasadena Convention
Center.
Kind regards,
- Karsten

Join the Operate First Data Science Community!
by Aakanksha Duggal
Hello All,
Join us for the initial Operate First Data Science Community Meetup on
Tuesday, November 16th at 11:00 ET. There you will learn about the existing
open data science platform managed by the Operate First team and how you
can get started with setting up your very own cloud native data science
environment.
Subscribe to our calendar
<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/2?cid=N3QyMm1ydm92amNmdTZqZm5ucDRu...>
for event details.
Our long term goal for this ongoing event is to embrace the
multidisciplinary nature of the current state of AI operations and cloud
infrastructure by discussing technical topics relevant to data scientists,
software engineers, DevOps professionals, statisticians and the
intersection of their work, all in an open and public forum. We welcome new
speakers and Data Science enthusiasts to submit proposals for future talks.
If you are interested, get started by creating an issue in our GitHub
repository
<https://github.com/aicoe-aiops/cloud-first-data-science-community/issues/...>
.
To learn more about the Operate First Data Science Community, visit our
website

Strategy and Roadmap for Docs, Handbooks, Guides, etc.
by Humair Khan
Hello everyone, lately there's been some discussion about how we ought to
handle our documentation, guides, handbooks and such going forward. Our
intention is to have them be as community/contributor friendly as possible
-- and that doesn't seem to be the case currently.
I've created GitHub thread to discuss existing issues, which can be found
here <https://github.com/operate-first/SRE/issues/424>. We are hoping to
address some of these in the coming weeks, and would also welcome insight
from the broader community. If you have any suggestions/thoughts/concerns,
we welcome your input so that we may incorporate them in our roadmap. Thank
you!
Regards,
Humair Khan

Bringing SRE training into the Operate First community
by Stephanie Watson
Hi, everyone!
I'm working with some groups who are developing some self-paced training
experiences for site reliability engineers. That training will live within
the Operate First community space and will be open to community
contributions over time.
We're excited about bringing this feature to the community!
What kind of SRE topics would you like to see covered in training here in
the community space?
