Oliver Bertuch (Feb 26 2026 at 08:49): Oliver Bertuch (Feb 26 2026 at 08:49):If you're interested in joining, let us know!
Slava Tykhonov (Feb 26 2026 at 11:14):Hi Oliver, I'm interested (as always).
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Feb 26 2026 at 12:29):Absolutely! :whale:
Philipp Conzett (Mar 03 2026 at 05:30):Hi Container Guys! From UiT/DataverseNO, there will be at least 3 participants at the K8s Workshop the day before DCM26. I'll send you the names by email.
Don Sizemore (Mar 04 2026 at 12:59):dumb, dumb question: this is a "satellite meeting" on 12 may, not a pre-pre-workshop on 11 may?
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Mar 04 2026 at 12:59):Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Mar 04 2026 at 12:59):I haven't heard of anything on Monday, May 11th. It'll probably be a travel day (or recover from jetlag day).
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 04 2026 at 13:09):Looking at I'd say it's May 12th.
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 04 2026 at 13:09):At least I'm not going to arrive earlier than the evening of May 11th, so it better be May 12th or we'd need an all night session.
Mahendra Paipuri (Mar 05 2026 at 13:21):@Oliver Bertuch Do you think it would be possible to join online?
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 05 2026 at 15:26):I don't know what options the organizers will provide. As there is no remote participation option for the conference, I lean towards a No. Also, looking at the experience from last year, doing this as a hybrid event may be an unsatisfying experience for remotees.
Julian Gautier (Mar 05 2026 at 15:56):Hey all. I really think it will be possible for folks to join all of the May 12 working group meetings online. I think that's why they're being called satellite meetings.
Like you wrote Oliver, I'm less sure how that'll work :sweat_smile:
Mahendra Paipuri (Mar 06 2026 at 12:26):Cheers @Oliver Bertuch and @Julian Gautier for your responses. I am not quite sure what exactly is planned for the workshop! I am rather more interested in following the discussions to understand the inner workings of Dataverse and the challenges it poses in k8s environment rather than any concerte hands-on sessions! I will follow the event page and if it is indeed possible to join online, I would be very happy to do so!!
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Mar 06 2026 at 12:53):@Mahendra Paipuri meanwhile, you're welcome to join the monthly Containerization working group meeting. Please see https://ct.gdcc.io and #containers > meetings.
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Mar 06 2026 at 12:54):You're also welcome to ask Kubernetes questions in #containers, either in a new topic or an existing one (such as #containers > k8s status).
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Mar 06 2026 at 13:09):@Mahendra Paipuri wait, you joined last time and started the #containers > k8s helm chart topic, right? Sorry, I forgot! Should we talk more in the helm chart topic?
Mahendra Paipuri (Mar 06 2026 at 13:12):Hello @Philip Durbin 馃殌 Yes, I joined the Feb's meeting!! I posted here as this workshop is interesting to me. But I cannot go to the conference so I asked if it is possible to join online!!
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Mar 06 2026 at 13:17):Well, to be honest, I'm a little confused. @Oliver Bertuch the k8s workshop is different than the in-person Containerization working group meeting we're planning to have, right? The latter should be hybrid (see ), but I'm not sure about the k8s workshop. :thinking:
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 27 2026 at 10:39):Dear all, I've setup a small form to make sure everybody knows the deal and can prepare. Also, without registering, BSC will not let you in. Thanks!
https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/I-yOr9KTml3N4k2EzOGwnYREp6yrDW9-e2WnW6beB74/
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 29 2026 at 14:38):So far I have 7 registrations... @Philip Durbin 馃殌 @Don Sizemore if you're interested (or your colleagues) please, let them now! Registration closes by tomorrow (my) morning. :slight_smile:
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (Apr 29 2026 at 14:42):My kingdom for a single track conference! :sweat_smile:
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 29 2026 at 14:43):Ha! But maybe @Steven Winship or @Leo Andreev are interested?
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 29 2026 at 14:44):(@Philip Durbin 馃殌 the days of Dataverse being a small conference are over, I suppose... For better or worth...)
Felipe G贸mez-Cort茅s (Apr 30 2026 at 14:20):I'll join the K8s Workshop, at least as logistics member :D
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 30 2026 at 14:21):@Felipe G贸mez-Cort茅s do you mind adding yourself here? https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/I-yOr9KTml3N4k2EzOGwnYREp6yrDW9-e2WnW6beB74/
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 30 2026 at 14:21):As you work for BSC, I suspect I don't need to tell Maria about you?
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 30 2026 at 16:01):Folks the final list has been sent. You need to take it up with the organizers if you still want to join... Security is tight at BSC!
Felipe G贸mez-Cort茅s (May 04 2026 at 10:07):I missed this registration message!
Regarding the workshop:
Oliver Bertuch (May 04 2026 at 18:04)::alert: Last call for signing up! :alert:
As the organizers extended the deadline for all the satellite meetings to submit their list of attendees, I opened the signup form for the workshop again until Thursday, 2026-05-07, EoB AoE. If you didn't have a chance so far and think about participating, here's your chance:

- If yes, is it okay to follow this guide: https://k8s-docs.gdcc.io/en/v4.20/day1/index.html as preparation?
I'm pretty sure the above is quite old but @Oliver Bertuch can confirm.
Thomas van Erven (May 07 2026 at 11:39):Alright, you've talked me into it. I'll join this one too : ) Already have a cluster running at Germany's finest infrastructure provider, Hetzner.
Oliver Bertuch (May 07 2026 at 13:29):@Thomas van Erven who had the power to talk you into this? :astonished: Please register now, thanks. Also, glad to see some experienced folks, they can give people a hand :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Crap, form closed. My apologies for my sloth heritage. Any way you can briefly open it?
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 08:44):Just because you asked nicely - and I already put down your name so BSC security doesn't send you away :wink:
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 08:45):Done. https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/I-yOr9KTml3N4k2EzOGwnYREp6yrDW9-e2WnW6beB74/
Thomas van Erven (May 08 2026 at 08:46):You need 256 GB of free disk space? : o )
Thomas van Erven (May 08 2026 at 08:47):Submitted.
Thomas van Erven (May 08 2026 at 08:48):Guessing the supercomputing centre has decent bandwidth - worst case, I'll rsync some stuff off to a VM. You shall have your pound of storage.
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 08:51):We'll see about how much the WiFi AP can give us of that bandwidth...
Thomas van Erven (May 08 2026 at 08:51):If not, surely there's a cable one can 'acquire' temporarily.
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 08:53):I wouldn't bet on that. Their security is tight. Something like that wouldn't even be easy here, where security is not as tight.
Thomas van Erven (May 08 2026 at 08:54):Good to know, then I shall come prepared (meaning synced in advance).
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 08:54):You might be fine with less than 256G. I just wanted to make sure we don't run into any such nasty problems which are really hard to fix onsite. (CPU, RAM, diskspace)
Thomas van Erven (May 08 2026 at 09:16):Sensible. Worst case, I'll pop over to my cluster for doing stuff. It will have such resources.
Max Kadel (May 08 2026 at 10:53):Oh my goodness, I didn't realize there was a separate sign-up for the workshop and I see I'm two hours too late! Any chance I can sneak in? I feel so silly.
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 11:31):I don't know. @Max Kadel I'll ask the BSC organizers if they can still manage to add you to the list they send (sent?) to security.
Max Kadel (May 08 2026 at 11:46):Thanks @Oliver Bertuch - sorry I didn't realize earlier.
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 11:51):Are you registered for any of the other activities that day? That might improve chances they'll agree, as security will already have seen you on their list... :see_no_evil:
Max Kadel (May 08 2026 at 12:53):@Oliver Bertuch - no, I'm registered for the overall conference, starting on Wednesday, but missed that the Tuesday activities needed separate registration.
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 13:03):Welp, we'll see what they say. 
I haven't heard back yet :grimacing:
Max Kadel (May 08 2026 at 13:12):Eep, ok, thank you!
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 13:28):Sounds like a :no_signal:
Unfortunately we have already sent the lists to security early this morning. Sorry about that.
Philip Durbin 馃殌 (May 12 2026 at 11:40):Here's the repo Oliver is showing: https://github.com/gdcc/dcm2026-k8s-workshop
Oliver Bertuch (May 12 2026 at 12:30): Philip Durbin 馃殌 (May 12 2026 at 12:38):@Oliver Bertuch if it helps, I created https://github.com/gdcc/dcm2026-k8s-workshop/pull/2 based on what @Thomas van Erven showed me (thanks!) in minikube.
