Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of _This Week in Spring_! How are you? It’s September 26th, 2023, and I am in sunny Singapore for SpringOne at VMWare Explore Singapore. If you’re around, don’t forget to say hi!

It’s gonna be a fun and busy week in Singapore, and then next week I’m off to Antwerp, Belgium, for the amazing Devoxx BE 2023. Then, I’m off to Morocco, for Devoxx MA 2023. Then, I’m off to Amsterdam for SpringOne Tour Amsterdam. If you’re in any of these places, do not hesitate to reach out and say hi! I’d love to chat! And with that, we’ve got a ton of things to cover so let’s dive right into it!
