Work, Relax and Learn O11y
How about spending a week on Mallorca this spring, work in a cozy little Coworking space in Santanyí and ask the host, Rainer, anything about Observability?
For 248 EUR (incl. tax) you have a 1 week ticket at Rayaworx Coworking plus 2 hours of individual time with Rainer to talk about anything O11y. We can work on your actual project, clarify strategic questions, get our hands dirty in OpenTelemetry … you name it.
(Flight and accomodation NOT included – but I can help find a nice place to stay).
There are just 2 slots per week – and the weather right now is great on Mallorca.
