A
A
B
Grew
up
in
Jerusalem
and
I
work
in
day
three,
it's
a
startup
preventing
this
configuration
in
kubernetes
cool
I'm,
doing
like
business
development
partnership,
but
the
main
my
heart
is
with
the
community
leader,
okay
and
so
I
work
with
influencers
from
all
over
yeah
and
then
when
I
arrived
to
to
the
kubernetes
world,
I
was
like
shocked,
starting
to
learn
online
with
all
those
amazing
influencers
and
I
was
like
I.
Think
I
should
start
going
to
meetups
start
to
hear
and
getting
more
professional,
but.
A
B
And
I
was
doing
AI
before
that
and
ux
UI
and
I
was
looking
for
something
that
will
make
a
big
impact
in
the
technology
world
in
the
the
history
of
Technology
right.
I'm.
Sure
that,
like
kubernetes
thing
like
it's,
the
next
big
thing,
it's
already
right,
right
and
so
I
got
to
the
meetups
and
I
was
shocked.
Not
so
many
like
maybe
two
or
three
ladies
sitting
in
the
crowd.
No
speakers
yeah
and
then
I
felt,
like
I.
Think
I
can
make
an
impact
because
I'm
a
people's
person
and
I
love
to
organize
stuff
yeah.
A
I,
didn't
you
know
to
be
honest,
I'm
not
that
familiar
with
burning
man
and
I
didn't
realize
it
there's
there
are
other
burning
mans
besides
the
one
in
the
U.S
yeah,
so
that's
kind
of
interesting.
So
is
that
is
it
Israel
or
is
it
a
bunch
of
other
countries
as
well
or.
A
B
Burning
man
yeah
all
right,
yeah,
so
yeah
taking
part
of
those
type
of
events
you
need
to
to
to
make
an
in
an
event,
and
it's
kind
of
like
operations
like
making
a
conference
like
I
did
a
month
ago.
A
B
And
with
our
cncf
Israel
group
so
either
way
I
got
into
this
world
I
wanting
to
affect
and
to
bring
the
the
lady's
voice.
B
B
You
want
to
give
a
talk,
please
come
to
our
meetups,
get
up
cncf
and
in
those
both
communities,
organizers,
yeah,
so
yeah
and
actually
I
managed
this
year
and
the
GitHub
User
Group,
where
the
biggest
GitHub
community
in
the
world-
oh
wow,
that's
crazy,
yeah
and
we
have
every
month
to
meet
up
and
we
managed
to
have
every
month,
one
man,
one
lady,
oh.
A
Nice
yeah,
it's
sensation,
that's
hard
to
do.
Yeah,
yeah
I
run
a
conference,
it's
it's
a
small
like
four
or
five
hundred
people
conference
every
year
in
the
US.
That's
based
on
a
conference
in
the
Czech
Republic,
but
called
devconf.us.
A
But
the
charter,
like
the
goal
of
the
conference,
is
for
kind
of
new
speakers,
but
you
kind
of
have
to
like
also
like
offset
that
with
some
big
names
so
that
you
can
get
people
to
show
up
to
the
conference.
But
you
know
we
have.
We
have
very
strong,
like
we
have
intendy
coaching.
A
We
have
speaker
coaching,
you
know
just
to
try
to
bring
more,
you
know
make
it
a
more
open
community
and
a
big
part
of
it
is
how
do
we
get
more
underrepresented
communities
involved
in
particularly
open
source
because
we're
a
little
biased,
but
software
in
general,
right
and
so
yeah
I
I
share
the
difficulty
with.
B
A
B
A
Think
it's
it's
one
of
those
things
that
you
know,
part
of
what
I
I
try
to
help
do
right
is
I,
want
more
people
who
don't
look
like
me
in
my
community,
but
it's
because
one
of
the
things
I
think
people,
you
know,
there's
the
kind
of
straight
up,
obvious
kind
of
equity
component
right,
but
I
also
think
people
don't
realize
that
unless
we
bring
multiple
viewpoints
to
building
like
software
you're,
not
you're
gonna
have
huge
gaps
in
your
software
in
the
quality
of
it
and
the
you
know
things
it
does
well
and
things
it
doesn't
do
well,
because
you're
you're,
just
providing
one
perspective
and
so
I
think
it's
it's
like
not
only
like
from
an
equity
perspective,
but
it's
also
that
you
make
better
product
and
so-
and
you
know
the
only
way
to
be
able
to
support
that.
A
B
I
think
the
tech
World
already
on
got
the
understanding
that
you
can't
have
a
team
with
only
like
tech
people
diversity.
Today,
if
you
go
to
Tel
Aviv,
like
half
of
the
companies
would
have
I
went
to
law
school
seven
years
ago.
I
have
a
doctor
like
you
would
have
so
many
types
of
other
nut.
Programmers
right.
B
A
Yeah
and
wait
so
I
think
you
end
up
with
with
better
quality
stuff.
You
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
so
that's
cool.
So
what
you
know,
what
do
you
think
is
is
kind
of
next
like
what
are
you
seeing
that
you
know
you're
going
to
be
able
to
try
to
build
on
from
that
work.
For
you
know,
I,
don't
know
the
next
conference.
You
know.
Are
you
going
to
bring
kubernetes
to
burning
man?
You.
B
B
All
the
engineers
which
is
the
best
stickers
ever
yeah
and
then
yeah
so
I
think
that's
I,
know
that
in
the
last
kcd
my
target
was
like
bringing
in
a
diversity
and
getting
in
the
the
green
conference
in
we
were
the
first
green
conference
ever
in
Israel
yeah,
that's
interesting!
It
not
well
only
have
two
places
you
can
drop
all
those
disposable
yeah,
it's
like
three
hours
away
from
Tel
Aviv
right,
so
it
cost
a
lot
of
money.
B
A
B
A
We
and
we
actually
have
a
project,
so
I
do
kind
of
two
things
at
the
University
right.
So
one
thing
is:
I
teach
some
classes,
but
I
also
help
Drive
the
projects
that
the
student
teams
are
on
and
one
of
the
projects.
This
semester
is
called
recyclopedia
and
because
one
of
the
challenges,
a
lot
of
people
have
with
kind
of
like
recycling,
is
like.
Okay
is
this
thing
recyclable
and
which
trash
can?
A
Does
it
go
in
right
and
so
they're
trying
to
build
an
app
that
will
kind
of
tell
you
the
answer
to
that.
So
you
can
kind
of
say:
okay,
I
got
a
Starbucks
coffee
cup.
Where
do
I
put
it?
You
know
and
I
just
think
it's
kind
of
a
neat,
little
concept.
You
know
and
we'll
hopefully,
they'll
they'll
build
something
that
that's
kind
of
cool
and
maybe
usable
I.
A
I
wanna
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
that's
true
in
the
US
I
mean
you
know
like
I
try
to
be
relatively
conscious
about
it
and
I
know
that
I
throw
the
wrong.
You
know
trash
in
the
wrong
bin.
Sometimes
she
says
I
don't
know
that
different
beans-
yeah
oh
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
right
right.
So.
B
A
Reason
the
music
randomly
comes
on
in
this
car.
We
haven't
quite
figured.
A
Of
accidentally
impart,
you
know
some
some
green
awareness
into
the.
B
A
A
Yeah
I
think
that's
it's
funny
with
the
when
you,
when
you
can
kind
of
use
like
a
conference
or
other
venue,
as
kind
of
like
a
like
a
accidental
support,
for
you
know
things
like
environmentalism
or
whatever
is
really
useful,
because
I
think
people
don't
realize
that
you
that
it's
you
know
kind
of
right
there.
It
teaches
them
something
about
it.
Even
if
they're,
that's
not
why
they're
there.
You
know.
B
A
As
well
right
well,
plus
they're
often
you
know
single
use
like
as
in
like
it's
just
for
that
one
event:
you
know
which
can
be
super
hard,
yeah,
there's
birds.
What
do
you
want?
I'm,
not
driving
over
a
pigeon,
yeah
I
tend
to
have
doing
these
car
interviews.
I
seem
to
have
problems
with
birds.
We
had
a
bunch
of
them
in
Detroit.
There
were
a
lot
of
geese
here.
A
I've
had
multiple
pigeons
like
try
to
like
walk
under
the
car
wheels
like
I,
really
don't
want
to
drive
over
you,
but
the
people
behind
me
disagreed
so
yeah.
So
if
you,
if
you
heard
honking
on
the
on
the
video,
that
would
be
why
so
yeah
I'm,
definitely
not
driving
fast
enough
for
the
neighborhood
drivers.
I
can
tell
you
that
much
yeah,
but
so
we
were
talking
about
so
do
you
think
yield
I
mean
I
presume
you'll
want
to
do
another
kcd.
A
B
B
You
think
we
had
a
lot
of
volunteers,
people
after
the
event
asked
to
volunteer
so
to
make
them
are
involved
right,
and
this
is
something
that
yesterday,
where
the
kcd
global
event
of
all
the
local
communities,
so
I
was
talking
to
the.
It
was
very
interesting
to
talk
to
the
Italian
Guys
into
the
guys
from
here
like
what
are
their
conclusions
yeah.
B
So
the
Italian
team
they're
like
50
people,
it's
like
yeah
micro,
Community
inside
so
yeah.
It
can
be
harder
as
a
project
manager.
I
know
how
hard
it
can
be
to
have
multiplied
like
people
in
charge
right
right,
but
once
you
get
the
people
that
you
know
they
can
take
it
and
they
really
do
it
from
the
bottom
of
their
heart
right
right.
A
What
we
found
was
you
know,
starting
earlier,
was
a
big
help.
You
know
that
you
know
it's
like
if
you
can,
if
you
can
add
some
time
to
the
window,
that
it
makes
a
lot
less
painful
and
then
also
what
we
did
was
adopt
a
you
know.
If
you
want
to
add
this
feature
to
the
conference,
we
are
excited
to
have
you
do
that,
but
you
do
that
right.
A
If,
like
you,
can't
just
make
a
suggestion
and
then
expect
somebody
else
to
do
it
right,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
really
cool
ideas.
Out
of
that,
and
and
like
like
action
like,
we
ended
up
doing
because
one
of
the
times
we
did
the
event
virtually
you
know
during
the
pandemic,
and
but
we
wanted
people
to
feel
like
they
were
in
Boston
where
it
takes
place,
so
we
actually
had.
A
We
took
a
whole.
We
got
a
whole
bunch
of
people
to
actually
take
little
video
clips
around
Boston
and
we
did
a
virtual
tour
of
Boston
for
the
conference,
and
but
that
was
like
purely
somebody's
idea
and
they
were
like.
Oh,
we
could
do
this
and
we're
like
yeah
go
for
it.
You
know.
So
it's
it's
always
kind
of
exciting.
B
Yeah
we
had
the
now
three
days
ago
we
meet
up,
get
abuser
group
meet
up
and
I
had
like.
There
are
a
lot
of
Ukraine
Jewish
people
or
ran
away,
so
some
of
them
came
up
to
me
and
said
it
would
be
a
great
idea
because
it's
in
Hebrew,
so
maybe
you
would
have
like
a
online
subtitles,
oh
yeah,
so
one
of
the
guys
in
the
community
told
me
we're
like
four
people,
organizing
it
so
he's
like
great.
A
B
We
need
to
look
at
it
as
a
community,
and
people
should
understand
it's
part
of
it
and
we
try
to
to
pass
the
message
that
being
part
of
the
community
is
speaking
organizing
like
me
or
whatever,
but
being
part
of
it
is
being
a
little
bit
active
whenever
you
can
yeah
yeah
and
bringing
your
ideas
without
any
bureaucracy
right
and
yeah,
you
can
do
anything
you
would
dream
of
and
now
I'm
trying
to
promote
the
women's
swag
actually
yeah,
because
we
never
get
anything
that
is
really
dedicated
for
us.
Well,.
A
One
of
the
things
we
started
doing
or
when
I
was
working
at
Red
Hat
we
started
doing,
was
actually
doing
you
know
kind
of
actually
doing
a
lot
of
the
shirts,
for
example
like
fitted
or
going
to
other
other
things
that
don't
have
to
be
sized.
You
know
so
I
thought
that
was
a
really
good
Trend.
You
know
and
you're
seeing
a
lot
of
organizations
doing
that.
You
know
like
doing
socks,
for
example,
which
I
think
is
super
cool.
A
So
you
know
it's
always
kind
of
neat
but
yeah.
So
one
thing
we
were
talking
about
this
earlier,
but
we
didn't
really
talk
about
it
during
this
discussion,
which
was
kind
of
like
so
this
kind
of
community,
you
getting
kind
of
involved
with
kubernetes,
whatever
is
really
kind
of
what
brought
you
to
this,
like
the
job,
you're
doing
and
everything
right.
B
And
one
led
to
each
other
to
another
yeah
I
started
working
in
the
tree,
studying
kubernetes,
getting
into
my
a
role
going
to
meet
ups.
Two
of
the
founders
are
the
founders
of
the
communities
as
well.
Oh
okay,
one
of
the
founders
is
the
community
user,
the
GitHub
user
group
and
the
second
one
in
cncf
shiman
tools.
A
B
Ceo,
so
it
took
some
time
that
you
know
they
told
me
how
come
you're
not
getting
in
and
I
was
like.
I
don't
want
to
get
too
pushy
right,
it
will
happen
whenever
it
needs
to
happen,
and
it
really
did
like
it
happened.
Slowly
and
I
met
the
really
the
right
people,
the
all
of
them
are
here
now
yeah
in
kubecon,
met
them
on
zoom
and
got
their.
A
Offer
one
yeah
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
it's
something
I
I've
been
trying
to
get
like
students
to
do
it's
like
you
know.
I
went
to
kubernetes
Meetup
in
Boston
the
other
day
and
we
didn't
promote
it
very
well,
but
like
one
of
the
things
I
really,
because
I
think
the
students
are
a
little
concerned
about
going
to
one
of
these
meetups
kind
of
alone.
A
You
know,
even
if
they're,
with
a
cluster
of
other
student
friends
and
so
I
was
kind
of
like
you
know,
maybe
I
can
go
to
the
kubernetes
meet
up
and
like
bring
a
bunch
of
students
with
me
because
I
like
I,
don't
think
they
realize
how
many
opportunities
there
are,
if
you,
especially
in
the
open
source
world
where,
if
you
kind
of,
can
start
to
get
involved
in
the
community
around
that
open
source
system.
Whatever
thing
that
you
find
interesting,
there's
a
whole
mess
of
companies
that
are
around
it.
A
That
will
often
be
looking
to
hire
you
or
like
support
you
working
in
that
community.
And
if
it's
something
you
like
you
know,
that's
a
that's
a
really
great
way
to
get
a
job.
So
yeah
I
I
highly
encourage
it,
and
you
know
in
your
success
story
of
that
example.
Right.
B
A
B
A
B
You
see
someone
like
on
stage
and
enthusiastic
about
it
and
like
passionate
about
it
and
yeah,
it's
I
would
say
I
think
we
talked
about
it
earlier
that
this
is
the
real
Burning
Man
Of
The
World,
the
real
shared
information
like
the
open
source,
it's
for
someone
who
got
got
it
into
it.
Two
years
ago,
I
was
like
yeah
wow,
that's
that's
the
reason
technology
is
so
fast.
Everything
goes
so
fast.
It's
all.
A
The
version
of
the
share
information
right
and
and
all
like
you
kind
of
all
perspectives,
are
kind
of
enabled
and
supported
and,
like
you
know,
and
and
there's
a
there's,
a
a
well
understood-
and
this
is
one
of
the
things
that's
so
hard
about.
Open
source
is
actually
like,
knowing
how
to
make
it
so
that
all
the
contributors
can
contribute
is
actually
not
easy.
A
A
That's
involved
in
making
a
contributor
Community
like
work
and
be
accessible
and
open,
and
you
know
able
to
contribute
new
stuff
to
it
and-
and
you
know,
I
think
you
benefited
from
it
and
you're
trying
to
give
back
in
that
same
vein,
but
I
think,
like
especially
Engineers,
don't
realize
how
hard
that
part
of
it
is
because
you
know
a
lot
of
Engineers
have
never
run
their
own
open
source
project,
and
so
they
don't
see
the
the
difficulty
with
the
doing
that.
A
But
yeah
I
think
it's
super
fascinating,
but
I
think.
Maybe
we
we
could
kind
of
end
the
interview
there
and
we
could,
unless
there
was
anything
else
you
wanted
to
add.
B
B
The
open
source
projects
like
properly
and
yeah,
that's
insane
and
say
it's
very
naive
and
all
the
devops
and
the
developers
who
hear
me
saying
that
are
think
I'm
super
cute.
But
seeing
someone
from
Australia
like
saying
to
man,
you
need
that
button
in
your
in
your
product
and
someone
else
from
India
getting
it
fixed
like.
B
A
Really
yeah
I
know
it's
it's
really
powerful
and
it
really,
you
know,
I,
think
you
know,
like
everyone,
you
know
everyone's
always
looking
for
communities
of
you
know
like-minded
individuals
or
people
they
can.
You
know
that
they're
connected
to
somehow
and
I.
You
know,
I
think
the
open
source
world
just
kind
of
supports
that
you
know
it's.
B
Really
nice
any
supports
even
a
bigger
picture.
If
you
look
at
it
now,
we
have
like
a
two
companies
sponsoring
our
our
community,
and
this
is
part
of
understanding.
I
now
in
the
kubecon,
I
think
a
lot
of
the
big
organization,
understanding
they
they
should
invent
more
money
in
open
source
or
in
the
community.
Of
course,
they
have
their
own
benefits.
B
A
And
that's
yeah
as
long
as
you
know,
as
long
as
everyone's
kind
of
incentives
are
aligned,
you
know
it's
not
bad
having
a
goal,
you
know
so
yeah
definitely
a
fan,
and
it's
it's
just
it's
so
interesting
because
you
know
you've
been
exposed
to
it.
This
way,
I've
been
around
the
software
industry
for
a
long
time
now,
but
I
was
talking
to
somebody
earlier
one
of
the
earlier
interviews,
who's
kind
of
kind
of
grew
up
more.
A
The
way
I
did
like
with
you
know,
kind
of
building
everything
from
scratch
in
the
early
days
and
stuff
and
we're
just
so
both
astonished
about
like
how
open
source
has
has
made
it
because
it
used
to
be
when
we
did
development.
We
were
like
literally
banned
from
using
open
source
software
in
the
early
days,
and
now
it's
like
the
de
facto
it's
just
it's
so
crazy,
but
it's
been
so
good.
I
think
you
know.
B
Even
in
Israel,
you
can
feel
it
even
in
the
Army
I'm
officer
and
I,
like
Communications
I.
So
I
was
doing
Radio
AM
FM
three
years
and
then
we
arrived
in
the
cloud
is
in
and
the
computer
are
in
and
like
wow,
you
have
devops
guys
in
your
team
in
the
Army
and
and
units
that
you
didn't
have
it
before.
Like
so.
A
B
A
Military
just
kind
of
feel
that
way
you
know
so
I
would
say
that
that
is
not
an
income.
So.
