The Virtues of Community: A Recap of Our Meet&Geek Breton Event
As a member of the vCommunity, I recently had the pleasure of attending our Meet&Geek Breton event in Rennes, France. The occasion was a great opportunity to connect with fellow virtualization enthusiasts, share knowledge, and learn from one another’s experiences.
The evening began with a presentation by Rex, a prominent member of our community, on the use of vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) for automation. The slides from his talk are available on the SII Ouest GitHub page, and I highly recommend checking them out if you’re interested in learning more about vRO and its capabilities.
Following Rex’s presentation, we had a lively discussion about the various use cases for vRO in different contexts, as well as some tips and tricks for getting the most out of this powerful tool. It was great to see how everyone was sharing their experiences and insights, and how willing we all were to help one another overcome any challenges we might be facing.
Of course, no gathering of virtualization enthusiasts would be complete without some friendly rivalries and sporting events. As a proud member of the VMUG France community, I was thrilled to see our team emerge victorious in the Europa League match against Arsenal. It was a fitting conclusion to an evening filled with camaraderie and shared passion for all things virtualization.
As I looked around the room at my fellow attendees, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the vCommunity and all that it has brought to my career and personal life. The sense of belonging and support that comes from being part of a community like this is truly invaluable. Whether you’re just starting out in virtualization or are an experienced professional, there’s always something new to learn and discover when you’re surrounded by others who share your passion.
So here’s to the vCommunity, and all that it has brought to our lives. Thank you to Frédéric, Jérémy, SII Ouest, and everyone else who helped make this event such a success. Here’s to many more Meet&Geek events to come!
