APAC Tech Exchange Day 1 - OpenShift Primer & guide to all things JBoss xPaaS

It has been a wild few weeks running up to and including the start today of the APAC Tech Exchange conference.

I want to start by saying the organization has been amazing and done nothing short of move mountains in the face of many obstacles. Kudo's to Quinten Laureijs for first setting it up for Bangkok, Thailand, then moving it to Phuket, Thailand in the face of a military coup, then having to cancel it there to finally arrange a virtual event to deliver the planned content in the face of all odds.
Severe weather warnings...

Today we kicked off the agenda and I got up early to present two sessions, both related to JBoss technologies in the OpenShift Cloud.

Sound-proof office?
As an additional challenge to present these sessions virtually over video conferencing tools, the weather took a very nasty turn here in the Netherlands.

I had to find someplace safe and quiet as multiple severe thunderstorms (there was a national weather alarm in effect) blew through.

As the sessions started, I was most worried about losing Internet and power, but all went off without a hitch.

Adapt... overcome... teach!
Well, almost, if you listen carefully you might hear in the background some thunder, rain, and lightning but I was in a pretty sound proofed shed so I think we pulled it off.

With nobody the wiser, I gave my first session in one of the strangest places I have ever had to work from as a JBoss Technology Evangelist.

I had to unplug everything just in case of lightning surges, was worried about losing connection, but the weather passed during the session and the sun came out after I was finished.

We adapt, overcome, and continue to teach no matter what the conditions are.
