DevOps Day Los Angeles is Friday

This Friday (February 25) John and Damon will be speaking at DevOps Day Los Angeles (attached to the always popular SCALE conference). It's an all day event that should live up to the high standards of the DevOps Days brand. If you are in Los Angeles, or can get to Los Angeles by Friday, this is an event you should not miss. 

...And, yes, this talk will be a warm-up for Damon and John to get back in the groove and record fresh new DevOps Cafe episodes!

UPDATE: Just found out that DevOps Day Los Angeles will be streaming live!

• The Declaration of Interdependence is another interesting Agile proclamation Damon mentioned
• John brought up Kanban and it's success in bringing Agile to Operations and helping to solve DevOps problems
• David Anderson gave a "fishbowl" style presentation on Kanban
