## AGHI2 Docker with Duncan

There is still room in this class! 
Duncan is one of our very best teachers. His well-paced, methodical delivery of Docker fundamentals will have you and your partner learning more and stressing less.

This is part 1 of a 3-part series. Duncan will continue with Kubernetes on 4/20 and Helm sometime in June.

Saturday, March 2nd
8:30am - 1PM MST
at Code

## Small is Beautiful - 
### A buffet of brilliant little sessions in celebration of Stallman's birthday

We're hosting a full day of short (up to an hour) lessons on a variety of free, open-source software in honor of the legendary Richard Stallman. This is the first of what we hope to be a quarterly event, to introduce new teachers and provide shorter SFS Method-style content. 

The lineup is packed with expert teachers and fantastic topics. Come for part, or stay for the day. 

  - David L. Willson: Passages from the GNU Manifesto (22-minute talk only)
  - Dr. Jeffrey S. Haemer: Git Branches and Tags
  - Silvia: "Quick and Dirty Wireshark"
  - Alex: "Kubernetes Certifications and You" (22-minute talk only)
  - Rich: "JQ: Getting just what you want from JSON"
  - Derek: "Containers from scratch with Golang"
  - Shawn, a.k.a. RedMop: ZFS

Wednesday, February 27

## AGHI2 GitLab and GitLab.com

During this gentle, hands-on introduction to GitLab
We'll create pretend products (probably cheese sandwiches or pies).
We'll create product teams.
We'll iterate on our pretend products so quickly that our BitBucket/GitHub using competition will be driven into financial distress and then we will poach their developers. Muhhahah!
And a whole lot more....

Saturday, May 4th
9AM - 1PM MST

## Reminders

* We are lifelong learners. Please share learning opportunities, even if they're not produced by SFS.
* We are friends. You can post just about anything, but if it doesn't have to do with learning free-libre software, stick an "OT:" in front of it.
* We are professionals (when we must be). Please post your help wanted and job wanted here.
* Come hang out with us in [Mattermost](https://mm.sofree.us/sfs-team/channels/town-square)!
