Every three weeks, we discuss our sprint reports, and you can participate in this process, as well as take a look at our handiwork with a compiled image from this sprint.

I sat down with Chris Hample and Chris Kacerguis from Booz Allen Hamilton to discuss their newest release of the Jellyfish Cloud Broker, which is at version 2 as of this writing.

The sprint 20 report is today at 7:30 PDT/10:30 EDT/14:30 GMT at the usual bluejeans.com location. Today’s topics include updates on the following:

Date & time: Wed February 18, 10:30am Eastern US/15:30 UTC

Time: 15:30 UTC/GMT, 10:30 EST

We can now take the covers off of the ManageIQ Community Depot and show it to you live. Just understand it’s in beta and may (will) have some bugs. The Depot is where you can share, download and collaborate on extensions and other software built for ManageIQ.
