About

vCendol TechFriday! is a monthly meet up for all VMware enthusiasts to gather, network, and learn from each other on how each use VMware products and solutions to answer real IT challenges and even helping their companies achieve business goals. It will be held every first Friday of the month with a specific topic to discuss. It will be an after-office-hour-brown-bag-meet-up, so you may want to bring your own dinner, and more importantly your thinking hat to collaborate. Let's vCendol!

Why call it vCendol?

As some of you may know that there’s a vBeer session used in other countries to call a meet up discussing VMware technologies which we, here in Indonesia, long long time ago adopted it as vCendol to suit local culture.

The meet up

Each vCendol TechFriday! will normally consists of two session. The first session will go deep on the widely adopted VMware technologies in the form of, but not limited to, best practices, straighten misconception, why and how, and design guide. We might also have a session from VMware customer which will share about their approach, lesson learned, or use cases in their environment.

Session two will be mind opener as it will talk about new raising technologies, operational transformation, change of expectation from IT user, and approaches we can take by using VMware solution.

Expect that after each meet up you'll go back with new ideas on something that you want to try at your place.
