 So my name is Dan Garfield and I'm going to talk a little bit about building on Argo and open source and what we're doing there. I'll only take a few minutes of your time to introduce myself. I'm the co-founder and chief open source officer of a company called Codefresh and many of you are probably already familiar with Codefresh. You've been using Argo, you've been, well you haven't been to Argo before so you haven't seen us there before but we've been doing this for for quite a long time and if you're not familiar with us we're maintainers of the Argo project along with Intuit, Red Hat and Q&A and we are the number one enterprise Argo platform. We've been doing this since 2020. We have more experience with more companies of more size than anybody else on the planet. We've helped more people adopt GitOps and Argo than anybody else on the planet so that's something we're very proud of and we guard very fiercely and we also have the number one GitOps training and certification. How many people have done that training? Right? It looked good like 10% of people. Okay, awesome. So a lot of people that are still new, that's awesome and thumbs up. We can react as an audience. It's okay. We can be excited. It's all right. I know I know we're in Europe but it's okay. Bringing a little bit of American here. So another thing that we're very proud of is that we are the number one security contributor to Argo CD. This is something that's very very important to our users, to our clients, to our customers. So we work very hard to contribute patches and work with the team. That doesn't mean that we do it alone. Obviously you know Intuit, Red Hat, Acuity, they're all doing a lot of security work as well but this is something that is a focus for us and so we are the biggest contributor of security patches and changes and I don't know how many people heard about the CVE that came out and was disclosed on Monday. Anybody here by the CVEs on Monday? That guy is paying attention. So there were three CVEs disclosed on Monday that allow for a brute force attack on admin user accounts and so that was something that we were able to get patched and put out into the community in time for the public disclosure of that CVE. So that's just an example of those kinds of things that we do. And we have pretty big news. If you haven't heard, CodeFresh has actually been acquired by Octopus Deploy. So my new boss is right here, Colin Bauer and he's the SVP product. So if you guys react poorly to this talk, he's watching. So if you know, just put it in your mind. Okay. Now the cool thing about this is that if you look at CodeFresh, we've been focused on Argo GitOps, Kubernetes, basically from day one, that's our whole, you know, DNA is just doing that 100%. And if you look at Octopus, they've been very successful in creating really great deployment tools for windows, virtual machines, and more recently for Kubernetes. And so by combining forces by joining Octopus, we feel like we're going to be able to give the best software delivery platform possible. And one amazing thing that we can claim is that we're a profitable company. So you actually can have a lot of confidence that we're going to be around next year and the year after that, and the year after that. So that's something that we're pretty proud of us as well. So what does this mean for you? Well, it actually means that this open source office is coming to Octopus. And it means that, you know, as a startup, joining, joining Octopus, they actually really love Argo. They wanted to invest in that. And so we're going to be able to continue expand on that. So what does this mean for the Argo project? Because everything I've told you has been like, Hey, look at me. I'm really cool. Codefresh is neat. But, but really this talk is focused on what that means for the Argo project and what we're going to be doing for the open source. So first off, this year, we're planning to double our contributions to the Argo project. And that means that we're hiring. So if you want to work on Argo full time, if you want to work on open source for full time, come talk to me. We're looking for people that want to do that. If you're an engineer and you want to work on that full time, let me know because we have open heads for it. And doubling our contributions is going to be a pretty big order of magnitude change this year. So pretty excited about that. The other thing that we're going to be able to do is many of you have been waiting for the level three get ops training certification. And we are happy to share that we're going to release that by q three. So I know that many people at every Argo con that I come to the number one question is when is level three coming out? So refer to this slide coming out. And then I mentioned before that we're the number one security contributor. We we've been working really hard on not just squashing novel CVs, but I'm also squashing those pesky CVs that show up in scanners. And this is something that for our customers has been really important for them. And we're going to be contributing those changes upstream into the Argo project. So that those security fixes make it to the larger community. And that's something that's going to be really important to us. So look forward to a more secure, more stable Argo CD than than you've ever had before. That's going to be a big focus. And one last thing for I know the 10 percent of the audience that has already done the Argo training and certification. I know this has been a highly requested item, but we are going to offer credly badges. So you'll be able to stick those on your LinkedIn now. And a real bit of see that you're get ops training and certified. There was like a whole group over here that was that had already done it. So just heading off their questions. So we're really excited to be able to offer all that. And I'm really grateful to be part of this community and to share that with you. Argo is our lifeblood. And to be here with you, I'm looking forward to chatting with you as we go throughout the day and throw us through the conference. But please seek me out. I want to hear your stories. I want to hear your challenges. If you have features that aren't working for you, if you have bugs that aren't working for you. If you're having, you know, you have a great idea for some new features. I would love to hear about it. So let's make this project great. And I think in Argo for the Argo project 2024 is going to be an amazing year. Thank you so much.
