Hello NYC Kubernauts! 

Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday break. We're excited to get the year started and catch up with everyone again. 

For this session, we've got two exciting speakers. 

Martin Ermajer will update us on his findings at Austrian-based, Dynatrace Innovation Lab where he has been researching open source logging, monitoring and tracing solutions - e.g. OpenTracing, Jolokia, and the K8S API itself. 

We're also excited to welcome our own Joonas Bergius who will speak to some of the exciting work being done at DigitalOcean with Kubernetes. 

If you'd like to do a quick 5 - 10 minute lightning talk please ping us via meetup or twitter (@arieljatib @baldwinmathew). We'd like to include more quick sessions to demo tricks, neat things, new apps, etc. so reach out!
