Kubernetes Day India 2019, Bangalore

I returned to another conference with the jetlag of another conference, FOSSASIA but this conference was something I was very eagerly waiting to attend. Why?

FOSSASIA 2019

This FOSSASIA was more special for the participants, organizers and the volunteers because this was the 10th year of the event.

PyLadies Pune Meetup - February 2017

The PyLadies Pune February Meetup was held on 6th Feb at reserved-bit. Kushal took a session on MicroPython on the MicroBit boards. Thanks to @ntoll for sending over the MicroBits for workshops. I reached down to the venue a bit late. On reaching the venue, Kushal told me that he forgot the boards at home and I went to his place to pick the MicroBits. Most of the participants were regular participants for the meetup so Kushal took a quick course on Python....
