Cloud Native Valencia #2: AI, Open Source & KubeCon stories 🚀

We’re back! And this time, we’re diving into two things everyone’s talking about: AI and KubeCon EU 2025.

Whether you made it to KubeCon London or followed it from Linkedln, this meet-up is for you. We’ve got two great sessions lined up — both technical, inspiring, and community-driven:

🧠 InstructLab – A Community-Based approach to building open-source LLMs

with Mario Vázquez from Red Hat

Curious about how people are building open-source large language models — together? Mario will show us how InstructLab is bringing the community into the AI loop. Think open-source ChatGPT, but collaborative.

📦 KubeCon EU Wrap-Up – What you missed (and What you didn’t know you missed)

with Chad M. Crowell, author, trainer, CNCF Ambassador, KCD Organizer & Kubernetes contributor

Chad just got back from KubeCon and will give us the inside scoop: the coolest announcements, the hottest projects, and what’s next for Kubernete

✨ Come hang out with fellow engineers, devs, platform folks, and AI-curious humans. We’ll have:

• Real talks, not just slides
  
  
• Live Demo
  
  
• Our AMAZING snacks, drinks & networking
  
  
• Raffle and a SUPER COOL surprise 🤫
