Excited to have 2 talks accepted to 'Community Over Code' this year!

"Beyond Pull Requests How Non-Coders Quietly Power #OpenSource" with fellow #OpenSearchAmbassador Sakshi Nasha where we'll discuss the importance of non-code contributions

&

"Planning an event? Learn how chaos can drive engagement" where I will pass along my knowledge from years of running a unique 'Unconference' at our OpenSearchCon conferences.
