For anyone looking to be a Mentor or a Mentee for both #golang or #kubernetes, the mentoring platform is ready. If you will be a Mentee, register and wait for a Mentor to select you. If you will be a Mentor, register and search for a Mentee. Good Luck! mentoring.gobridge.org/

Need people to sign up as a Mentor and run the Mentee search and select someone to help. This is a great opportunity to share all you know and help someone grow in their career. #golang #kubernetes I turned on the ability for Mentee's to find a Mentor! mentoring.gobridge.org/

Was in deaf/hearing meeting with one interpreter and 20 participants. All cameras off. At the start of the meeting, the chair asked if one deaf colleague wanted to put their camera on 'because this is nice for the interpreter'. Silence, and then one colleague volunteered.(thread)
