Whitney Lee and Victor Farcic discuss their unique approach to educating others about the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's (CNCF) landscape through their interactive presentations and YouTube project 'You Choose.' The pair explain how they incorporate live audience voting to determine the 'chosen' technologies implemented in their ongoing demos. Their fun approach helps newcomers in the field make informed decisions on the tools to use, and to understand how these various tools can integrate with each other. They talk about their previous talks and excitement for possible future events where they'll continue their interactive sessions.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
