I’m here in Cape Town, South Africa with @atmos for my talk at Scaleconf later this week. Today, Wednesday, January 25, we’ll be hanging at Wakame for pre-conference drinks from 7pm to 11pm. You don’t need to be a Scaleconf attendee to join us for drinks! Here’s a map to Wakame.
Drop in and steal an octocat sticker from us- we’d love to meet you!
