+Closing 2016, a list of talks I gave
+====================================

+
+We are almost at the end of January but I didn't want to end the first month of the year without doing a small recap of the talks I gave last year.
+
+When I moved to Spain at the end of 2015 I said to myself that I didn't want to forget the little English I knew so I needed to force myself to keep traveling outside of Spain and to do some public speaking. The public speaking bit is for two reason: keep forcing myself to speak English and... to lose my fear about talking English in front of a bunch of people you don't know about a tech that they probably know better than you.
+
+I could do it much better than I did, but I am happy with the results.
+
+My English talks
+----------------
+
+### Custom Volume Plugins @ [Kubecon](https://kubecon.io)
+_[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33VzHXuuRs4) & [slides](https://speakerdeck.com/agonzalezro/custom-volume-plugins)_
+
+I prepared this talk a lot, but I was pretty nervous on stage I did a terrible job. Some people said that they learn a lot of new concepts, but they were just trying to be friendly :) Probably I underestimated the pressure behind a Kubecon talk and I will fix this in the future.
+
+### Python, Kubernetes and friends @ [PyGrunn](http://www.pygrunn.org/)
+_[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tsaMVoydDg) & [Slides](https://speakerdeck.com/agonzalezro/python-kubernetes-and-friends)_
+
+I gave this in the best (IMHO, but I could be biased) Python conference in the Netherlands, it went pretty well, I knew the things I did pretty badly in my previous talk at Kubeconf and I tried to fix the problems. However, if you check the video and you can give me some advice, feel free.
+
+### From pets to cattle, the way of Kubernetes 
+_[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Kh4LMiiqQ) & [Slides](https://speakerdeck.com/agonzalezro/from-pets-to-cattle-the-way-of-kubernetes)_
+
+This talk was in Spain, but since it was a big conference I gave it in English for non-Spanish speakers. I think the talk was ok, I got a 4 out 5 in their feedback tool, but it seems I didn't attach the people because nobody asking anything at the end. Out of camera I got several questions tho.
+
+And the Spanish ones
+--------------------
+
+All these talks were internal Jobandtalent talks for my ex-colleagues, I hope it helped them, they definitely helped me, it was a trusty environment and the questions were really interesting. You probably wouldn't ask that much in a conference but it helps the speaker (in this case me) to improve.
+
+### Go 101 @ [Jobandtalent](http://www.jobandtalent.com/)
+_[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaywpuLV4BY) & [Slides](https://speakerdeck.com/agonzalezro/go-101-updated)_
+
+### Kubernetes 101 @ [Jobandtalent](http://www.jobandtalent.com/)
+_[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YmhMM_q4uI) & [Slides](https://speakerdeck.com/agonzalezro/kubernetes-101)_
+
+### Docker 101 @ [Jobandtalent](http://www.jobandtalent.com/)
+_[Slides](https://speakerdeck.com/agonzalezro/docker-101)_
+
+Out of that list I gave some other, for example, about [Neo4J](https://github.com/agonzalezro/goqui/blob/master/examples/neo4j_intro_slides.neo4j) and a workshop with my friend [@ipedrazas](https://twitter.com/ipedrazas) about Kubernetes & Docker, here, in Spain. Also, I started [mad Scalability](https://meetup.com/mad-scalability) and I am quite happy with about it!
+
+I will try to prepare some CFP in 2017, but as today I see it pretty difficult because of reasons :)
+
+As I said at the beginning of the post, one of the reasons why I tried to do public speaking is to improve at it, you if you have any advice [share it with me](https://twitter.com/agonzalezro) please!
