Jim Schild, founder of NADOG, reflects on the growth of the North American DevOps Group, which emerged from a grassroots initiative focused on authentic peer interactions. Shifted from teaching to tech, Jim established NADOG in 2015 amid a growing need for community in DevOps. The pandemic challenged community dynamics, yet NADOG adapted and returned to in-person events, maintaining its commitment to practitioner-centric engagement. Jim highlights the evolving landscape of DevOps and platform engineering while inviting IT professionals to participate in upcoming events, particularly the expansion into new regions such as South Florida.
Jim Schild emphasizes that building Nadiaog was never about traditional marketing but fostering authentic connections among DevOps practitioners.
The pandemic forced us to adapt, but we successfully transitioned back to in-person events, enhancing community engagement through local networking.
