4th DDOG on February 16th

Our fourth edition of The Dutch DevOps & GitHub Community will take place on February 16th!

What is DDOG

We want to create a community for content related to DevOps and GitHub. We believe GitHub has a lot to offer and deserves a user group in the Netherlands. But we also love the different elements that enable DevOps. So we decided to combine those two into the community you are looking at.
Our goal is to have a platform where we can teach, learn and meet each other.

We are proud to announce our great speakers!
