Once upon a time there was a university professor who dreamed of releasing a book when he finished his master’s degree in 2007. After some ideas for publication on topics such as Microsoft certification, project management and service management, the dream began to be fulfilled in 2017 with the book “Jornada DevOps” (DevOps Journey), but some obstacles stopped its evolution after the definition of the final structure for the official EXIN certification and the writing of three chapters. In September 2018, during a lecture at PUC Minas, a click emerged: “would other people passionate about DevOps help with collaborative writing?” Dozens of people accepted the invitation and the book was released to 350 people on June 6, 2019 at the SulAmérica Convention Center in Rio de Janeiro, after intense coordinated work with people from several cities who had never worked together before. After this successful experience with many learning experiences, the team’s escalation created great friendships, new initiatives and a donation of R$ 251,500.00 to institutions, with 11 books launched. We dream of transforming more lives with collective intelligence and the support of friendly companies... Antonio Muniz Founder of Jornada Colaborativa, organization and curation of 20 books.
