VMware {code} Hour: A Space to Learn, Share, and Connect
We’re excited to invite you to our VMware {code} Community Calls, a monthly gathering where our community comes together to learn, collaborate, and simply hang out. Whether you’re here to explore new topics, share your experiences, or just enjoy spending time with like-minded people, these calls are for everyone.
Each session is designed to strike a balance between casual connection and value-packed learning. From live discussions and AMAs to prepared presentations and collaborative panels, there’s always something to inspire and engage. No matter your level of experience, the {code} Community Calls are a safe, welcoming space to grow and connect.
What to Expect from VMware {code} Hour
Our first Community Call kicks off on January 30, 2025, at 9 AM ET/2 PM GMT! Join us as we discuss plans for the year, explore homelabs, dive into study group opportunities, and collaborate to generate ideas and gather interests from the community.
Agenda:
- Casual Check-In: Connect, share updates.
- Lightning Talk – Community-Driven Content: Presentations, AMAs, or panel discussions on topics like PowerCLI, Terraform, Python, Homelabs, and more.
- Community Feedback: Let me know what you’re interested in and I’ll work on getting resources.
Certification Study Groups
We’re excited to announce that certification study groups are here!
We’ll use the official exam guide as our northern star. Our community instructors will break down core concepts and building blocks to help everyone grow familiar with the objectives. This is an open, collaborative space—no rigid lesson plans, no official instruction. It’s just community helping community through shared discussion, resources, and insights.

Past {code} Hour Calls
February’s {code} Hour was an AMA session Broadcom’s VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) team: Ravi Soundararajan, Ian Ku and Alper Mizrak. These engineers specialize in performance and scalability across vCenter and vSphere and have a wealth of knowledge to share.
These calls are all about fostering connection and collaboration while providing opportunities to learn something new. Whether you’re here to share, listen, or just hang out with the community, you’ll always find something valuable in every session.
Why Deliver a presentation for the {code} Community?
Presenting with {code} can boost your profile within the community and enhance your public speaking experience. These opportunities also offer a potential pathway to VMware Explore—speakers who participate in Power Sessions and lightning talks will have an edge when we begin reviewing proposals for the {code} theater at VMware Explore.
Whether you’re an experienced speaker or looking to break into the scene, VMware {code} provides a safe, welcoming space to practice and share your knowledge.
