DevOps Against Humanity

Circle You may have heard of Cards Against Humanity, the free party
game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you've played
before, it's as despicable and awkward as you and your friends (so says
the official site). And now, DevOps Against Humanity. It was clearly
just a matter of time. The black cards pose the question, the white
cards fill in the blanks. Example: "…and then there was the time I
found ________ on the root partition." Would you choose "A Scrum
Master," "A 75-Tier Architecture" or ? Thanks to Bridget Kromhout, you
can contribute your ideas to the game and make your own set of cards.
"Pull requests accepted!" says Kromhout.

Create Upstate (Syracuse, NY, May 16) 

It's a conference celebrating the design happening in Upstate New York,
appropriately featuring speakers from across the state. While New York
City often gets the spotlight, it's a little-known fact that Upstate
New York is ripe with design talent and hard-working individuals.
Between Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany, Upstate's an area
home to some fantastic web, print, and type design. Until now, there
hasn't been anything connecting these pockets of design-y goodness, and
while many remain up North, the opportunities and promises of community
have funneled designers down to the City.
