This is going to be a shorter lightning post than my earlier ones. I got very into what I was doing and the people I was with yesterday and didn't spend as much time (any time really) taking notes. It's 30 minutes to deadline so here goes.
Morning: Improv workshop
Workshops are my bread and butter at LISA these days. I start the day with a workshop. Typical, right? Wade Minter's "Improv: Think, React, Go" (not golang) workshop turned out to be very different and a lot of fun (I think there was some subversive learning in there too).

My morning was spent in the Devops in the Workplace workshop run by Mandi Walls and Dominica Degrandis. Since it was a relatively small group, we started out by introducing ourselves and talking about what we wanted to learn or discuss about devops, then figured out what were the most common themes and which topics more people wanted to touch on. It was agreat mix of people in the room, with folks from large and small organizations in both industry and academia.
Hello from LISA14! I got in late last night (Saturday, Nov 8) and didn't take my own advice. I stayed up too late. Luckly I did get an hour or two of real sleep on the flight, but it made for a bleary morning.

As part of helping to create a community that’s inclusive and welcoming for everyone, LISA has several events throughout the week for women and allies. Read all about them here and start marking your calendars!

Zeroth day at LISA14! I live in Vancouver, so travelling by bus was quick and simple...not like the people I met coming from the East Coast by plane, or by trans-continental train, or the folks I met from Belgium and Norway who were still up at (for them) 3 AM after a trans-Atlantic flight. Found the hotel, found the (temporary) check-in desk for the conference (Metropolitan Ballroom, 3rd floor), and got my badge. Woot!
