Yesterday, December first, Theodo had the pleasure to host the improvised first Paris Devops meetup in our new office! Samuel Maftoul and Philippe Müller managed to gather a very interesting and mixed crowd of devs and ops to discuss on the promising ideas that the Devops movement is bringing in the agile develpoment world. Were present : Sergio Simone Bruno Michel Vincent Hardion Claude Falguière Ludovic Piot Alexandre Rodière Raphaël Pierquin Philippe Muller Laurent Bossavit Samuel Maftoul Vermeer Grange Cyrille Le Clerc François de Metz Fabrice Bernhard It was also the occasion to ask Laurent Bossavit to sign his book Gestion de projet : Extreme Programming which is our bible here at Theodo, a great honour :-) There were too many subjects and too little time during this first session to really tackle the technologies and ideas behind devops but it was a great occasion to meet diverse people and create a first contact. A very promising start for this new meetup!
