A
So
it's
February
25th
2015
I
met
the
kubernetes
gatherings,
so
this
is
where
all
the
kubernetes
contributors
come
together
and
help
define
and
push
kubernetes
forth,
and
then
we
go
upstairs.
The
very
first
kubernetes
meetup
and
I
got
the
first
speaking
slot
I
got
my
laptop
on
the
podium,
it's
being
where
fusion
this
time
I
launched
the
cluster.
The
first
set
of
machines
come
up.
I
typed,
the
first
command
to
connect
to
the
cluster.
To
show
Cooper
names
off.
I
can
literally
hear
the
music
stop.
A
A
A
The
cluster
comes
back
up.
I
register
the
first
three
nodes,
so
this
is
before
Cooper
nays
had
autumn
node
registration,
so
you
had
to
do
it
by
hand.
The
nodes
are
connected
and
then
I
run
coop
CFG
get
nodes
and
nothing
shows
up
and
I
would
do
this
repeatedly
stalling
for
time.
The
audience
is
wondering
why
I'm
not
using
the
watch
commands.
A
A
A
One
more
keystroke
and
the
demo
is
finished,
I
look
out
in
the
audience
and
I
say
thank
you
and
I.
Think
that
was
most
important
about
that
day
is
that
all
the
contributors
are
kubernetes
were
sitting
there
and
even
though
my
demo
was
broken,
they
were
on
my
side.
They
wanted
me
to
succeed.
We
worked
at
different
companies
and
then
they
were
patient
with
me.
A
Time
will
go
by
and
we
have
a
new
gathering.
It
will
go
by
a
different
name.
This
time
we
will
call
it
coop
Kong
I'll
give
a
shout
out
to
Patrick
Reilly
and
Joseph
Jax
for
coming
up
the
name,
and
they
even
did
the
little
logo
and
the
first
cube
Connolly
had
about
500
people.
So
that's
about
this
side,
and
then
we
will
go
from
500
to
now.
I
heard
12,000
people
here
at
coop
con
and
the
funny
thing
is
I
almost
missed
it
see
around
2017
I
was
getting
tired
of
this.
A
A
We
all
walk
out
to
the
sponsor
area
and
we're
in
what
they
call
the
hallway
track.
So
you
step
back,
and
you
form
this
circle-
job
ATIS
to
my
left
and
a
bunch
of
new
people
that
I
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
and
when
you're
in
the
hallway
track.
Sometimes
new
people
show
up
in
this
case
a
new
person
did
show
up
and
then
what
you
do.
Is
you
pivot
to
make
room
for
them?
So
they
know
that
they're
welcome.
Just
like
that.
A
First
cube
cot
event
in
San
Francisco
he
would
join
the
circle
and
he
would
ready
himself
for
a
question
see.
I
was
ready.
I'm
like
three
years
into
this
kubernetes
thing.
You
can
ask
me
anything:
SCD,
kuva's,
scheduler
I
got
it
and
we
would
go
and
he
had
a
Trimble
in
his
voice.
He
said:
Kelso
have
a
question
for
you.
A
What
is
it
like?
Being
the
only
black
person
in
the
room
now
I'm
stunned,
because
I
wasn't
ready
for
that
one.
So
you
think
is
I'm
different
at
most
conferences,
but
I
don't
actually
experience
it.
I
actually
get
the
benefit
of
the
doubt.
People
look
at
me
and
say:
oh
that's,
Kelsey
Hightower.
He
probably
knows
what
he's
talking
about
I
get
preferential
treatment
and
in
the
midst
of
that
question,
I
thought
back
to
a
speaker
or
dinner
that
I
was
at
that
koukin,
but
we're
at
the
bottom
of
the
staircase.
A
Looking
up
see
the
speaker
dinner
was
up.
Maybe
nine
ten
flights
of
stairs
and
one
of
our
speakers
was
in
chair
and
all
she
wanted
to
do
was
go
and
attend
the
speaker
dinner
with
everyone
else
and
people
at
the
dinner
offered
to
pick
her
up
out
of
the
chair
and
carry
her
up
the
stairs.
But
that's
not
what
she
wanted.
All
she
wanted
to
do
is
participate
just
like
everyone
else
see
what
happened.
A
No
one
planned
for
anyone
in
the
wheelchair
to
be
a
speaker
at
the
conference
so
when
they
picked
the
restaurant,
that
was
not
top
of
mind.
That's
what
it's
like
when
you're
different
at
a
conference,
and
no
one
knows
who
you
are.
You
tend
to
be
forgotten
about
so
I'm,
not
sure
what
answer
that
I
gave
him,
but
I
understood
what
he
was
asking.
A
He
would
then
go
on
to
say:
I,
never
thought
I
needed
someone
to
look
up
to
until
I
saw
you
on
YouTube
you're
on
stage
giving
this
keynote
and
is
the
first
time
someone
that
looks
like
me
was
leading
such
an
advance
set
of
technologies.
Now,
at
this
point,
I'm
starting
to
tear
up
a
little
bit.
You
know,
allergies,.
A
A
A
I'm
not
just
talking
to
you
all
I'm
talking
to
the
screen
I'm
talking
to
the
person,
maybe
on
the
other
side
of
this
whole
thing
being
motivated
to
attend
for
the
very
first
time,
they're
gonna
find
that
courage
to
say
you
know
what
I
can
do
that
too,
and
what's
beautiful
about
that
is
when
they
do
muster
the
courage
up
to
come
and
show
up.
We
support
them
and
we
make
them
feel
welcome.
So
they
come
back.
They
bring
someone
with
them.
That's
what
koukaon
is
all
about.
A
Throughout
the
years,
someone
who
always
tell
me
it's
not
a
race,
it's
a
marathon
and
I've
never
been
able
to
put
that
into
any
sort
of
context.
Before
what
does
that
even
mean?
If
you
pay
attention
to
the
sports
world,
there's
what's
considered
to
be
the
greatest
marathon
runner
of
our
time,
Laila
Eliot
kept
chogi.
He
holds
the
world
record
for
the
marathon
he's
won,
so
many
races.
He
has
almost
ever.
A
Every
accolade
you
can
think
of
for
marathon
runner,
except
for
one
experts
believed
that
no
human
could
run
26.2
miles
in
under
two
hours
is
impossible
and
all
of
these
races
people
run
as
fast
as
they
can
can
remember,
and
the
race
is
a
zero-sum
game.
The
goal
is
there's
only
one
winner.
You
run
faster
than
everyone
else,
and
you
win.
A
But
he
wanted
to
run
under
two
hours,
so
guess
what
there's
a
little
bit
of
technology
involved
if
you
care
about
it,
like
even
made
special
shoes
for
anyone
that
wanted
to
endeavour
to
run
26.2
miles
in
under
two
hours,
the
latest
technology
there's
even
a
pace
car
that
runs
and
drives
in
front
and
it
projects
lasers
on
the
pavement.
Creating
this
nice
formation
on
the
pavement
to
be
filled
by
humans,
see
technology
alone
wasn't
going
to
get
it.
The
problem
is
as
you're
running
you
can
hit
and
draft
and
slow
down.
A
So
you
would
need
other
runners
in
front
and
they
would
take
five
were
the
best
runners
and
they
were
run
and
create
this
inverted
V
in
front
of
him,
and
there
would
be
two
runners
behind
him:
creating
the
perfect
running
conditions
to
push
them
further
and
faster
than
he
ever
could
see.
These
are
the
pace
setters
there
would
be
41
in
total,
but
good
guess
what
that
one
group
could
never
finish
the
race
and
run
that
fast.
A
So
what
they
would
do
is
they
would
orchestrate
the
seven
would
take
turns
every
step
of
the
way
you
would
have
a
new
group
come
in
with
fresh
legs
and
remind
him
of
what
the
actual
Gold
is.
We
have
to
do
this
under
two
hours
and
they
will
swap
out
and
not
skip
a
beat,
and
then
he
will
continue
to
move
forward
one
hour
59
minutes
later
it
crosses
the
finish
line.
In
this
case
there
was
nothing
to
win,
because
this
is
not
an
official
marathon.
A
It's
not
in
the
rule
books
to
have
a
group
of
runners
collaborates,
but
guess
what
they
still
won,
because
the
mission
was
actually
defining
what
the
new
human
boundaries
were
and
pushing
the
whole
thing
forward.
When
I
look
back
over
time,
all
of
us
are
just
pace.
Setters.
None
of
us
are
the
actual
marathon
runner.
The
marathon
here
is:
what
can
we
do
with
these
ideas
and
with
these
tools,
you're
just
pace
setters,
it's
not
about
where
you
rank
on
the
contribution
list.
It's
not
about
how
big
your
sponsorship
is.
A
You
do
not
run
yourself
into
the
ground
you're
going
to
burn
out
you
orchestrate
you
come
in.
You
help
set
the
pace
and
it's
okay
to
step
aside
for
a
moment
and
make
room
for
the
next
person
to
push
the
thing
forward
and
even
when
you're
standing
on
the
sidelines,
you
can
always
remember
that
you
did
your
part
to
move
the
whole
project
forward
and
no
matter
what
you
will
always
be
a
part
of
history,
no
matter
how
big
or
how
small
your
contribution
was,
or
just
pace
setters
as
a
much
bigger
vision.
