And I thought March was a busy month���

Two weeks ago I was doing some work in Santiago, Chile, which coincided with a volcano eruption. From there, I headed to the enjoyable SATURN 2015 conference in Baltimore, which coincided with protests sparked by the tragic death of Freddie Gray. It was pointed out to me that when I went to XP Days Kiev last year, there was an incident at a nuclear facility just as I flew in, and given this worrying trend that perhaps I should let people know where I'm going to be for the next few months to ensure that people can make the appropriate travel plans. So here we go.

On Saturday, I fly out to the UK for my first SDDConf, in London. I'll be delivering a longer form of my "Principles Of Microservices" talk, as well as a one day version of the microservices tutorial. While in town I'll be doing a ThoughtWorks' hosted talk in the evening on operational concerns for Microservices. Then I'm off to Krakow, Poland, I'll be speaking for the 4th time at GeeCon. Aside from my talk I'll also be hosting a panel on microservices where I attempt to get people to say inflammatory things that work great as tweets which they will later regret.

Before heading home to Australia, I'll be making a pit-stop in Amsterdam for a Goto Nights talk on the 18th.

After a quick turnaround I'll be heading out again to my first time at Velocity in Santa Clara. It's been a goal of mine to speak at that conference, as for many years I've siphoned off the excellent videos O'Reilly put together after the conference, so to be speaking there is a real thrill. I'm also hoping to host an office hour there as well, but that hasn't yet been confirmed.

In June, I head back out to Europe. Firstly. I have NDC in Oslo where I'll be delivering tutorials on microservices, Continuous Delivery, and also finding time to do a talk too. I'm presenting at the local DevOps group as well. Then it's back to Krakow again for Devoxx Poland (the re-branded 33rd Degree conference). I had to pull out of talking there a couple of years ago so I'm very happy to be able to make it this time.

July is fairly quiet. I'm still hoping to squeeze in a visit to the local DevOps Days, this year hosted in Melbourne. I've attended the last two events (hosted previously in Sydney and Brisbane) but I might not be able to make it this time around given other commitments. I urge you to go along though if you're in Australia as it is an excellent event. But I will definitely be at UberConf in Denver, where I'll be delivering both a talk and a tutorial on microservices.

Things quieten down a bit then, with only one confirmed conference so far which I'll share once the organisers announce the line-up. I do plan a couple of new talks to debut in the later half of the year as normal, probably on the topics of security and deployment. If you are interested in having me speak at your conference, then please do get in touch. I'm already booking things into October and November, so now is a good time to reach out!

Here's hoping my luck with local disturbances when I'm in town get a bit better for the rest of the year���
