+
+[DevOpsDays Chicago](https://devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago) took place on August 30th & 31st at Summit West in beautiful downtown Chicago. A sold-out, diverse crowd gathered for keynotes, presentations, lightning talks, and open spaces to learn, discuss, and promote all things DevOps.
+
+## Day One
+### The Presentations
+
+Leading off the presentations was a keynote by [Adam Jacob](https://twitter.com/adamhjk), who discussed [The Future of Automation](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/adam-jacob). Topics such as the idea of “ubuntu” (not the Linux distro!), context, and the importance of ease over simplicity were markedly well-received by the audience. “When you suffer, I suffer. When you thrive, I thrive.”
+
+Other presentations included first-time presenter Joel Vasallo (Gogo), who walked us through [“The Five Phases of DevOps”](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/joel-vasallo). Joel’s enthusiasm was contagious, and his animated GIF game was truly on-point.
+
+We can’t talk about DevOps in 2016 without a talk about Serverless, and [Jeremy Edberg](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/jeremy-edberg) described moving to AWS Lambda, replete with real-world examples and challenges. Serverless is a hot topic, and I learned quite a bit from his presentation.
+
+Wrapping up the morning was Angela Dugan’s talk [“Fear and (Self)-Loathing In IT”](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/angela-dugan).
+
+![imposter syndrome](/blog/2016-chicago/imposter.png)
+
+The key takeaway is that everyone feels like an imposter sometimes – and we are better than we think we are.
+
+### Ignite Sessions
+
+Immediately following lunch were the lightning talk Ignite sessions. For those not familiar, Ignite talks are 5 minutes long consisting of 20 slides that advance every 15 seconds.The Ignite format can be one of the most challenging ways to present a talk (I speak from experience in this!), and all of the Ignites were thought-provoking. They included:
+
+- [Alison Stanton – Ways DevOps Could Be More Accessible](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/alison-stanton)
+- [Allie Richards – What’s that creature living in my cloud?](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/allie-richards)
+- [Jamesha Fisher – Out of the Basement: Demystifying Security and Operations](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/jamesha-fisher)
+- [Rebecca Miller-Webster – Building resilience in our organizations, our teams, and ourselves](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/rebecca-miller-webster)
+- [Jeff Smith – Dungeons and Dragons….and DevOps](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/jeff-smith)
+
+### Open Spaces
+
+In my mind, the Open Spaces are one of the most powerful and thought-provoking experiences of a DevOpsDays event. As an event organizer, I firmly believe that the main goal of the talks is to drive the discussions in the open spaces. Attendees suggested topics for discussion, and then moved into smaller rooms. The vast majority of attendees had never experienced an Open Space before, and when I spoke with them privately, many told me it was their favorite part of the conference.
+
+### Yakkity Yak (Don’t Talk Back)
+
+In DevOps, we often talk about the concept of [“yak shaving.”](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/YakShavingDefinedIllGetThatDoneAsSoonAsIShaveThisYak.aspx) At DevOpsDays Chicago, we “leveled up” our commitment for our love of yaks by actually having a yak mascot wandering through the event for participants to take “yak selfies.” Some of the best ones can be seen on the [@devopsyak Twitter account](https://www.twitter.com/devopsyak).
+
+![we have a yak](/blog/2016-chicago/yak.png)
+
+### Evening Event
+
+On Tuesday evening, attendees retired to [10pin](http://www.10pinchicago.com/), for a night of board games, delightful beverages and snacks, and bowling! Prizes were awarded for the first people to bowl a turkey (three strikes in a row), and we were pleased to give away not one, but two Amazon Alexa devices for those excellent bowlers.
+
+## Day Two
+
+### Presentations
+
+We kicked off Wednesday with an opening keynote from [Jill Jubinski](https://twitter.com/jilljubs), entitled [“Devopsing Recruitment.”](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/jill-jubinski) Jill helped us understand how to be empathetic to recruiters, to understand that they are actually hard-working people who want to help teams get the best people possible, and that there really isn’t that big of a divide between recruiters and engineers. Plus, there were a lot of rainbows in the presentation, which makes for good DevOps.
+
+Àbéjídé Àyodélé  followed up with [“Lessons learnt from ‘Shipping’ Containers,”](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/abejide-ayodele) and he very well might have been the most engaging speaker of the entire event! Àbéjídé dug into some of the challenges his organization had with the lifecycle of their container creation and management, and the audience hung on his every word.
+
+[Nell Shamrell-Harrington](https://twitter.com/nellshamrell) walked us through “Untangling Infrastructure Code Through Refactoring”, which was a deep-dive into a practical approach for improving our code for efficiency, readability, and optimization. Nobody can accuse this event of being light on technical content after Àbéjídé and Nell’s talks, that is for sure!
+
+Wrapping up the morning was DevOpsDays Chicago alumn Brian Henerey, sharing with us his experiences in [“Leading an Enterprise to the Public Cloud.”](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/brian-henerey) Many folks in the audience identified with some of the “enterprise challenges” that Brian experienced, and while he (as he expected), ran out of time, his content was densely packed and very enlightening.
+
+### Ignites
+
+Day two ignites included:
+
+- [Ken Mugrage – The answer to the “where do we start” question](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/ken-mugrage)
+- [Heidi Waterhouse – Fear of the Bus](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/heidi-waterhouse)
+- [Morgan Rhodes – Presenting Nervously](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/morgan-rhodes)
+- [Michael Stahnke – What I’ve learned interviewing more than 150 people face to face](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/michael-stahnke)
+- [Joshua Zimmerman – DevOps Deep Thoughts by Not Jack Handey](https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2016-chicago/program/joshua-zimmerman)
+
+While as an organizer, I should love all of my presenters equally, Josh’s Ignite might have been my favorite of the entire conference. It was super hilarious, and one of the most clever approaches I’ve seen at a DevOpsDays.
+

+
+## Wrap-up
+
+This was the third iteration of DevOpsDays Chicago, and I have been an organizer of all three of them. As an organizer, I can say that this was the most smoothly run event we have ever done. Our content was top-notch, and we had over 380 attendees with a waiting list of over 150 people. In the future, we will be considering what we can do to expand the attendance to allow even more folks to join us in this great experience.
+
+If you attended the event and want to give us feedback, please feel free to tweet to [@devopsdayschi](https://twitter.com/devopsdaysChi)! We would love to hear what you thought.
+
+If you are in the Chicago area, please also join the [Chicago DevOps Meetup group](http://www.meetup.com/devops/) to collaborate with your local peers, and hear even more great talks.

+## Code of Conduct
+
+Exhibitors, speakers, sponsors, staff and all other attendees at events organized by DevOps Amsterdam (DevOpsDays Amsterdam, meetups, user groups) are subject to these Community Guidelines and Code of Conduct. We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, and we do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
+
+We ask you to be considerate of others and behave professionally and respectfully to all other participants. Remember that sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the organizers.
+
+Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
+
+If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no refund. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the event staff immediately.
+
+Event staff will be happy to help participants address concerns. All reports will be treated as confidential. We strongly encourage you to address your issues privately with any of our staff members who are organizing the event. We encourage you to avoid disclosing information about the incident until the staff has had sufficient time in which to address the situation. Please also keep in mind that public shaming can be counter-productive to building a strong community. We do not condone nor participate in such actions.
+
+We expect all participants to follow these rules at all event venues and related social events.
+
+### Credits
+
+Credit to Docker, Inc. and Julien Barber for writing this Code of Conduct and allowing us to use it.
+
+Additional credit to Puppet Labs, 01.org and meego.com, since they formed the starting point for many of these guidelines.

+There are three ways to propose a session:
+<ol>
+  <li><strong><em>A proposal for a talk/panel</em></strong> during the conference part : these are 30 minute slots that will have the full attention of all attendees, as everybody will be in that one room.</li>
+  <li><strong><em>An Ignite talk</em></strong> that will be presented during the<a href="/pages/ignite-talks-format"> Ignite sessions</a>. These are 5 minutes slots with slides changing every 15 seconds (20 slides total) which are also presented to all attendees in one room</li>
+  <li><strong><em>Open Space session</em></strong> : even without a prepared presentation we welcome the discussion and interaction by having people propose a session on the fly during Open Space. Check the <a href="/pages/open-space-format">Open Space explanation</a> for more information.
+</ol>
+
+### Even if you don't propose, please consider {{< event_link page="proposals" text="commenting on proposals submitted by others" >}}
+
+Our main criteria to make it to the top selection are:
+
+- _original content_: content not yet presented at other conferences, or a new angle to an existing problem
+- _new presenters_: people who are new to the space and have insightful stuff to say; we want to hear everybody's voice
+- _no vendor pitches_: as much as we value vendors and sponsors, we just don't think this is the right forum. You can demo at your table or during Open Space.
+
+<strong>How to submit a proposal:</strong> Send an email to [{{< email_proposals >}}] with the following information
+<ol>
+	<li>Proposal working title (can be changed later)</li>
+	<li>Type (presentation, panel discussion, moderated general discussion, debate, etc.,ignite)</li>
+	<li>Description or abstract</li>
+</ol>
+<strong>Rules:</strong>
+<ul>
+	<li>Be specific... we aren't mind readers (a description of about 20 lines is about right)</li>
+	<li>Detail is good... but not as important as explaining why your proposal would be interesting</li>
+	<li>Propose your own talk; don't have someone else do it for you.</li>
+	<li>Nominations welcome... if you know someone who has content/experience relevant to the DevOps conversation, please point us in their direction!</li>
+	<li>Multiple proposals welcome... just follow the other rules</li>
+</ul>
