jSpirit is a new Java unconference in the Bavarian alps. Starting in Winter 2018, we’re down for Spirits, Ski & JAVA. How does that sound do you?
Spirits
jSpirit is the first Java (un)conference ever being held in a distillery (at least to our knowledge). And it’s not just any distillery – it’s Europe’s most modern distillery: Lantenhammer Erlebnisdestillerie Hausham!
By the way: we are renting the entire distillery: lunch will be served in the main storage depot between all the whisky, gin, rum and schnapps barrels. And we can hold sessions everywhere, even right by the stills!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

AI workloads are growing more complex in terms of compute and data, and technologies like Kubernetes and PyTorch can help build production-ready AI systems to support them. Robert Nishihara from Anyscale recently spoke at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 Conference about how an AI compute stack comprising Kubernetes, PyTorch, VLLM and Ray technologies can support these new AI workloads.
