Enhancing the Developer Experience

Agenda

Speakers

	Timo Salm, Senior Lead Solution Engineer - Tanzu In his role as the first VMware Tanzu Solutions Engineer for Developer Experience in EMEA, Timo focuses on VMware Tanzu Application Platform and commercial Spring products. He takes the customers with him on the journey to fully understand the value, vision, and strategy of these products, and ensuring that they succeed by working closely on different levels of abstractions of modern applications and modern infrastructure. Before Timo joined Pivotal and VMware, he worked for more than seven years for consulting firms in the automotive industry as a software architect and full-stack developer on projects for customer-facing products. Timo is based in Stuttgart in Southwest Germany.
	Oded Shopen, Lead Specialist Solution Engineer - Tanzu Oded Shopen is a Lead Specialist Solution Engineer at VMware, spreading the message of Cloud-Native development, Tanzu and App Transformation. He helped design large-scale, cloud-native microservices using Tanzu, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud.
	Dieter Hubau, Lead Solution Engineer – Tanzu Dieter is a Lead Solution Engineer at VMware Tanzu and acts as the trusted advisor for customers that are investing in application modernization. After working more than a decade in consultancy doing Java Web development, platform operations, and architecture work in various projects and programs, the last few years, Dieter started focusing more on the bigger picture, thinking about methodologies, tools and platforms and how to enable companies to deliver better software, at scale, at a sustainable pace. As a big supporter of “T-Shaping”, he specializes in optimizing the path to production for developers, while also having a broader view on the infrastructure, networking, and platform level. He still plays soccer with a bad knee, takes walks with his dogs and plays video games. Space geek and movie buff.

Code of conduct

VMware is dedicated to providing and promoting a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, neuro-diversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or other protected categories. Because we don’t always know what might make someone else feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, these guidelines are meant to reinforce our values and clarify our expectations of all of those who participate in our community and events. They also define unacceptable behaviour and provide instructions on what you can do if you see unacceptable behaviour.

We each have different backgrounds and experiences. At VMware, we have three core values that we expect all to abide by: do the right thing, do what works, and be kind.

Expected behaviour

1. Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative.
2. Refrain from using any demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech.

Unacceptable behaviour

Unacceptable behaviour may include, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Harassment and discrimination, which includes: any verbal, physical, or visual conduct based on sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, race, age, national origin, disability, or other protected characteristics; inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public spaces (including presentation slides); deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of sessions, talks, or other events; and inappropriate physical contact, or any unwelcome sexual attention.
2. Using any boisterous, lewd, or offensive behaviour or language; using sexually explicit or offensive language or conduct; using profanity, obscene gestures, or racial, religious, homophobic, transphobic, or ethnic slurs; commenting about a person’s body or sexual activity; and discussing sexual activity.
3. Failing to obey any of the rules or regulations of the event or instructions of the event staff.
4. Participating in any other illegal activity not already covered above.

Consequences of unacceptable behaviour

We won’t tolerate unacceptable behaviour. If a participant engages in unacceptable behaviour, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from the event without warning or refund and, if appropriate, involving local law enforcement. Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behaviour is expected to comply immediately.

How to report unacceptable behaviour

If you have a complaint or concern about harassment, discrimination, bullying, or any other conduct that violates the VMware Events Code of Conduct, please contact [email protected].

We thank our attendees in advance for your help in keeping the event welcoming, respectful, and friendly to all participants.
