Diane is a long-time Pythonista and Open Source advocate who ran away to university at the young age of 16 to study computer science when it was decidedly an uncool thing to do. She currently works as a Community Lead at Red Hat on their Kubernetes-based container application platform, OpenShift Origin. She is deeply involved in the Maker community, and is the founder of GetMakered Labs, a mobile makerspace collaboration to inspire and encourage kids of all ages to connect with new technologies.
