NADOG and EURODOG started in 2015 as the SoCal DevOps Group with meet ups in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. The group was conceived as a place for like-minded DevOps professionals to gather, network, exchange ideas, and share war stories. The group quickly grew to over 1,000 members, and has since evolved, offering opportunities for networking, educational workshops, vendor demonstrations, expert speakers, and peer stories/best practices. In 2017, the group grew even more by becoming the North American DevOps Group with events in 20+ cities across North American, and in 2018 we launched EURODOG with our first events in Europe NADOG and EURODOG are free to join and participate for all practitioners from developers to CIOs. Vendors, recruiters, service providers, and re-sellers may all participate only as sponsors or invited speakers. The goal is to have at least one quarterly event in each of the cities in which we operate. If you have suggestions for future events, or if you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please feel free to reach out. All members may also participate in the LinkedIn group to connect with all members in North America between events. In an effort to keep the group as agnostic as possible, vendors, sales reps, and recruiters are not admitted as members or into the LinkedIn group. I hope to see you at the next event!
