Cloud Native Day Bergen

Brand Guidelines & Design System

Our brand reflects the spirit of the cloud native community: innovative, open, collaborative, and forward-thinking. These guidelines ensure consistent and impactful communication across all touchpoints.

Our Brand Story

Cloud Native Day Bergen embodies the spirit of Norway's tech community: innovative yet grounded, collaborative yet independent, modern yet respectful of tradition.

Our visual identity draws inspiration from Bergen's dramatic landscapesβ€”the meeting of mountains and sea, the interplay of mist and clarity, the harmony of natural and urban elements.

We celebrate the "nerdy and proud" developer culture while maintaining accessibility and inclusivity for all members of our community.

Brand Values

David Flanagan

Rawkode Academy

Founder of the Rawkode Academy, open source contributor, and beloved husband and father to my wife, two amazing kids, and a plethora of animals. David has been developing software professionally for nearly 20 years, starting with embedded systems written in C back in 2004, and has spent that entire time learning the paradigms of different programming languages, including C++, PHP, Java, and Haskell - though more recently preferring to work with Go, Rust, and Pony. As a professional technology magpie, David was an early adopter of cloud, containers, and cloud-native technologies. During his time as the Director of Development for a rock and metal media organization called TeamRock (now LouderSound), David was responsible for the software, infrastructure, and website during its biggest test: the unfortunate death of Lemmy Kilmister. Fortunately, due to his desire to experiment and play with new technologies, David and his team had already migrated their slow to provision virtual-machine centric infrastructure to containerised workloads running on Amazon Web Services the year prior, 2014, not long after the public launch of Docker. As much as David enjoys writing software, scaling infrastructure, and leading teams, he quickly realised that his passion was helping others learn and be successful. David started presenting at local user groups in 2016, slowly working up to conferences, before eventually moving into a full-time Developer Advocacy position at InfluxData - where he presented and taught workshops at 42 events in 2019. Outside of technology, David enjoys reading science fiction, drinking craft beer and whisky, and very-very-very slowly learning to play the piano.
