I was delighted to present at the Open Ireland Netwok Open Source Innovation Summit in Dublin. The Department has a long history of utilising open-source software. My presentation focused on our enterprise platform, Kubernetes – an open-source container system for automating software deployments. Thanks Clare Dillon for the invite and the opportunity to talk about Sustainable IT.

In case you missed it, but emphasized well by Gabriele Columbro - open source can be about local collaboration and community building, but we must continue to stand together as a global network to prevent technonationalism from fracturing and blocking our collective progress and support. @ National Open Source Innovation Summit in Dublin #OpenSource
