re:publica is one of the largest and most exciting conferences about digital culture in the world. Since its foundation in 2007, it has grown from a cozy blogger meeting with 700 participants into a wide-ranging “society conference”, with 9.000 visitors at the eleventh edition of re:publica. Representatives of digital culture share their knowledge and decision-making tools, and discuss the future of the information society. Here they can mingle with activists, scientists, hackers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, journalists, social media and marketing experts, and many others. This fosters innovation and creates synergies between net politics, online marketing, network technology, digital society, and (pop) culture. What is more, around 46 percent of re:publica speakers are female – far more than at many other similar events.
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.

Cloudflare recently shared how it manages its huge global fleet with SaltStack (Salt). They discussed the engineering tasks needed for the "grain of sand" problem. This concern is about finding one configuration error among millions of state applications. Cloudflare’s Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team redesigned their configuration observability.

Pulumi now natively supports Terraform and HCL, enabling direct HCL execution and state management within Pulumi Cloud. Currently in private beta with a Q1 2026 release, the update aids migration from legacy tools.
