How to organize a local SRE France meetup

Introduction

We encourage the organization of local SREs meetups in order to decentralize the knowledge and to meet people sharing the same interests in your city.

Getting started

First things to do

  • Before choosing the date, check if there's no other events at the same time (SRECon, DevOps Days, Meetups, a major movie release (e.g Dune II), etc.) and it's not a holiday in France.
  • Announce the event using our official Twitter and Telegram accounts via a pull request here
  • Define the format of the event, only talks, fireside chat, round table discussion or workshop
  • When creating the Meetup event, do not forget to add a custom question: "Do you plan to attend the meetup remotely?"

What to do one week before your event

  • Publish updates about the event, like the agenda, topics and speaker names
  • Send a message to every speaker to tell more about the hardware, network and software (Zoom, Google Meet, etc) required for the event and to ask if they have some special needs
  • Check recording, chat, share screen, microphone features
  • Link event accessibility supported browsers and authentification requirements
  • Do the venue provide Pizza, drinks, glasses, etc ?

What to do the day of your event

  • Don't forget to take some photos, of the venue, every speaker and during the networking time (they will be useful to share moments from the event)

What to do the day after your event

  • Collect all the speaker's slides and put them under a new folder under meetups/ using the format YYYY-MM-DD
  • Publish a summary of the event with all the links to slides and recordings on the official SRE France website via a pull request with content like this
  • Share the summary/post with the sponsor and all the speakers
