   My team is hosting a virtual conference in October (maybe it's September). I think it is just for current customers. A user group meeting of sorts.
   
   In any case, I don't know if the presentations themselves will see the public web, but I can certainly share here some of what I learn along the way.
   
   Basically any #freesoftware is fair game, although we don't typically do much with #bsd. What would you like to know about? #java #jenkins #configurationascode #cloud #orchestration #linux.
   
   I guess I need to figure out if it needs to be an application we support. We support a bunch of stuff though, so I wouldn't worry too much about that when suggesting topics.

     hmm, there are going to be three tracks, which have not been announced yet...so I guess I am jumping the gun on this. I can always come back to suggestions once the tracks are announced though.

     three tracks are DevOps, Language and Runtime, and Architecture
     
     hmm, I could probably do a DevOps talk on communication and using a fediverse tool, but I feel like the things you would use this for are largely taken by things like slack.
     
     Perhaps there's something about learning to be discussed. I'm up for suggestions!

     thinking about writing a #cycling training app, but not sure how exactly it fits into any of these. It could maybe fit in learning a new language, but if it's like "zero to app" in 3 months or something, I don't know how useful it will be. I mean, I have other stuff to do, but largely right now I am being paid to learn #Java (and Java tooling).
     
     Interestingly, 12 weeks is what this bootcamp uses: https://www.thesoftwareguild.com/coding-bootcamps/java-training/
