 a second here. All right. So hi everyone, welcome. Again, this is the CNCF marketing committee meeting. Hopefully you're in the right place. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. I'm Christy Tan. I lead marketing here at CNCF and we'll be walking you through the slides today with our team. The good news is you already made it here. So here's the conference info if you needed it. Just a quick note at the bottom and bold here that our next meeting is going to be on August 9th instead of the first week of August. You might have caught the beginning conversation, but we're having a CNCF team off-site the first week in August. So we'll be out of the office, but when we come back, we'll have a marketing committee call following week. And just a reminder that this call is recorded. So if you don't want to be recorded, please stay off camera and unmute. Again, you can find our recordings and our slides posted here. The recording from this meeting will take about 24 hours to post to YouTube. So just hold tight for that. And again, you can find all the slides in this folder as well. Just a quick reminder on the LF anti-trust policy notice. And then we've got a really fun agenda today. I'm excited to welcome some friends from our projects team, George and Geefy. Then we will go into the Kubernetes Community Days discussion. I'm really excited to have Katie and Audra walk us through how to get involved, as well as all the cool things that are happening with this program. This was a discussion request and a must from our earlier conversations. So excited that we're finally making that happen. And then we will go through our regular scheduled updates on membership, PRAR, content marketing, community programs, and events. So we've got a pretty full house today. With that, I will go ahead and pass over to Geefy and George for our special projects update. Hey guys. Hey. Hello. So for those of you that don't know me, my name is Jeffrey Sika. Everyone knows me as Geefy though. I'm head of projects. That really just means I interface with projects and make sure they're happy and we're happy. One thing that we've done recently is we managed to, I don't even know a really good way to capture how good this is. George Castro has joined us. Some of you may know him, if you do, I'm sorry. But George, I'll let you introduce yourself because I'll just make fun of you the whole time. Hi everyone. I'm George Castro. I've newly joined the projects team. I've been around for a while with Kubernetes and VMware way back in the day. So I know some of you and looking forward to working with you all on all sorts of stuff. I don't know. I guess we're about to tell you a bunch of stuff. So one of the things that George is really good at is building communities and since our entire kind of business and ecosystem is built on communities, yeah, he is a good person to have. He's obsessed with dinosaurs. So just plan on seeing more dinosaur pics. It's going to happen. Next slide. Biggest news in July right now. Istio is graduated. Some people probably knew that already, but the announcement will be going out today. So unsurprising, but really, really cool news. The other thing that has happened recently, next slide, we have quite a lot more projects. We seem to be always going up and to the right with the number of projects. I think the total number now is 171. So one thing that we're seeing in terms of sandbox projects, a common pattern really is we're focusing on like day three, think developer experience, developer tooling, things that make it easier for developers to consume clusters and resources and manage them. So that's unsurprising given the maturity of the day one and day two style projects. So again, not surprising. If there are any questions, if you want to deep dive into anything, please let me know. I wanted to keep things short and brief because projects is kind of like a fire hose. So still it down. You're going to be seeing George a lot more. That's pretty much it. Is there something we should do to interface with George if we are working on a project or what would be the next step there? George, can you post your Calendly link or? Yeah, I got link or whatever. I got you. He is at George Castro or J Castro, I think in the CNCF Slack. Please feel free to reach out to him. Also toss out your email. Probably should have added that to your slide. Not bad. Yeah, it's just Jorge at CNCF.io should get you to the right place. Then I have this on my Slack profile, but if you want to get a meeting with me. Boom. Before I get too popular. All right. Any other questions about Istio or any of the sandbox projects or just projects in general? Cool. Cool. Thank you for the time, Christie. Thank you, everyone. Thanks. Thanks to you and George for coming. We're going to make the project updates, hopefully a regular occurrence in these meetings, just so we can all stay in the loop on what's happening with those. And it's really good to see you both. And again, welcome, George. We're really excited you're on the team. Awesome. Well, if you have any other questions, you know where to find George and Jeefi, their info is in the chat. And we'll go ahead and move on to our next agenda item. Katie is running a little behind getting onto this meeting. So we're going to skip her slides a little bit and go ahead and jump into the team updates. And then we'll go back to the KCDs at the very end. So we'll breeze through these pretty quickly. So an update on membership. Excited to welcome our new Silver members as well as our new end user supporter member. If this is your first time on the call, welcome. We're so excited you're here. Feel free to say hi. I'm really excited to have these members. And if you're looking for the member accessions and merging slides, we've actually moved it into the appendix. You can check out all the movement there. I'll keep us updated there. And with that, I'll go ahead and pass it over to our PR 18 AR team. If I can talk, right? Jesse, I'll pass it over to you to talk about PR. Hi, that's Katie today. I'll keep it pretty short from the PR side because our AR team has a really great asset to share with us today. But yeah, we're seeing a lot of movement on the project side. The Istio News is now live and we're just starting to come in for that. If you go to the next slide, we've completed a couple of security audits with projects and seen a couple of major project releases. And with that, I'll go ahead and hand it over to Tricia Cooper from our Analyst Relations team. Thanks, Katie. So it's that time of year. And for those of you who are new, every half a year after the first and second quarter or after the third and fourth quarter, we'll do an annual report. We do an industry analyst report. And what this is is we look at the research that a variety of analyst firms are doing. And we do this every month and we bring highlights to you, some of which I'll share here. But then we summarize some of the key takeaways and some of the trending that we're seeing. And along with that, in this report, something that's really valuable to you is there is a list of analysts that we're also seeing covering the overall cloud native landscape. And as that's growing, that list is growing. So we actually bumped it up. It's now two slides. Used to be only one. And in no way is it comprehensive. So if you all are working with an industry analyst that you feel is not on the list that should be, please let us know. I mean, it's a collaborative approach. A few things before I even show a few screenshots from the report, I just wanted to highlight in terms of key takeaways is, you know, last in the last report, we talked about Kubernetes being the de facto standard. We all know that we're seeing more and more coverage across the board from the industry analysts around security, really putting some emphasis on how are they, you know, how to manage application workloads and also best practices in terms of continuing to source the case studies that are produced out of the CNCF. So I do encourage any of you who are producing case studies that the industry analysts are looking at that resource and they're citing it. The other thing is, we're seeing the use of terms cloud native, multi cloud and hybrid cloud, of course, they're increasingly common terms are showing up in strategies. I think, for example, with Gartner, we're going to see their hype cycle starting to publish. I think I just saw one come out yesterday on hype cycle for compute. We're seeing a lot of the terminology and the projects showing up in these hype cycles. So I guess that's a that's a heads up that next month we'll be covering some of those highlights in terms of what we're seeing trending out of some of the top technologies and the hype cycles because this is the time of the year that some of that stuff starts to publish. We're also seeing a really big increase and I'm going to show you that to you here on the next slide across the entire cloud native ecosystem to the point that it actually makes it really hard for us to track things by keyword. So what we've moved to doing in this report is we are tracking the top projects based on GitHub stars. And this is actually mentions by analysts of these projects in research. This is not data in terms of number of contributors or what's trending from Google searches. This is going behind five different firms, paywalls doing searches and really just tabulating who's coming up the most from a project standpoint. There is a link here on slide 20 to view the full report. And again, I encourage all of you to go take a look. One of the biggest assets coming out of that report is that analyst list. I think whether you have an industry analyst team or not, it's really good for you to understand who's who's behind this landscape. And if anyone has questions as it relates to particular subsections like security or open telemetry or storage, there are so many different analysts covering so many facets that we can help guide you but there too. And if you go on to slide 21, these are just some of the highlights and June was actually a really busy month for analyst reports. If you have access to or subscriptions to any of these firms, a lot of times it will require access to a paywall that we have pulled some out like the press release you see here at the top, which gives you some good data that you can use or look at regarding some of these topics. Also, you will see here some of the top things being covered. We're seeing observability. We're seeing open telemetry. We're seeing cloud native security, WebAssembly, WASM. They're all coming up. And then of course, if you go on to slide 22, one report I would like to call out here from Forrester and Forrester has just been really publishing a lot around the cloud. They just completed Lisa Star and he's a regular at all of our events in terms of KubeCon. He worked with a lot of the CNCF leadership and other thought leadership across the Linux foundation. And he wrote a report called to secure Kubernetes, think beyond Kubernetes, and also a few other reports, the multi-cloud container platform landscape and others. Those were all with strong contribution from from CNCF and the members of CNCF. So thank you to everyone who may have participated or are working with Lee and that team, Brent Ellis, Tracy Woo, Forrester is doing a lot of work and putting a lot of emphasis into the cloud native ecosystem coverage. Same thing for Gartner. Like I said, you're going to see a lot of hype cycles come out. But one thing I did want to point out is there was a case study done unlocking the value of open source by Fannie Mae. This was done by Gartner and also links to how to set up your own open source center of excellence by Arun Chandra Khasaran and Wataru Katsurashima. And while I don't have links to those there, there's a lot of great research out there if you're looking to have a business case for any of that. But again, this is just some great resources and resources and assets out there for you. So should anyone have any questions as it relates to industry and analyst relations, please take a look at the report. Thanks to Carl and Avakai on the analyst relations team. They really put a lot of work and effort this month into pulling that report together. And with that, I'll turn it back over to you, Christy. Great. Sorry, I had to find the mute button there for a second. Zoom movie moment there. Thanks so much, Tricia. This is super informative. I really look forward to reading the analyst's report every year. So I'm excited to dive into that a little bit more. And yeah, it's just crazy to see just all the project coverage and just how that's grown to save in the last couple of years. So that's great. It looks like there was a question in the chat, but it looks like Avakai answered it. So I think we're good there. So we'll go ahead and move on to content marketing unless anybody has any questions before we let Tricia go. All right. We'll go ahead and move into content marketing. Thanks again, Tricia. And thanks again, Katie, for the PR updates. Take care. All right. And with that, I'm going to go ahead and pass it over to Libby to talk about online programs and Cube Weekly. Hey, Libby. Hey, y'all. How's it going? Okay, June. We had a really busy month with our online programs. We opened up the Q3 calendar. So those are coming in like crazy. And we were able to also open up finally a few more shows for the live streams each week. So y'all have been booking those up, and we will continue to keep a waitlist if the dates are not available. So keep submitting and reach out with any questions. We had in June, three live streams, nine on-demand webinars and two live webinars. We are very thankful for our ambassador hosts who have stepped up to help with these new shows. So thank you very much. And we look forward to hosting more. And Cube Weekly, our editors are still working away at curating content for you each week. As you know, your online programs are also promoted via the Cube Weekly the week before and after in the newsletter. So we kind of hope that helps drive your attendance, but continue sending your articles over to us for review. And we'll keep curating the latest and greatest for y'all. So thanks so much for everything you're doing. So sorry about that. Zoom keeps moving. Thank you so much, Libby. And if anybody has any questions about Cube Weekly or online programs, feel free to reach out to Libby. I'm going to go through the next few content marketing slides. As I mentioned earlier, Charlie is in Greece enjoying a wonderful vacation, I'm sure. So we wish her well and wish we were there with her. But just a couple updates on some case studies that came out over the month of June. DeFacto, Mercedes-Benz, and Clickhouse, exciting stuff. It looks like there is availability for late July and August for case studies. Again, a reminder for these is there should be end user focus. So somebody who's not selling cloud native services. If you have questions about that or want to know more about the process, the GitHub link is in here. You can also reach out to Charlie once she's back and she's happy to answer your questions. But I'm excited to have a full month of case studies. Three in one month is awesome. Really exciting stuff. In the next slide, I wanted to just give a snapshot of the blog for June. Charlie wanted me to call out that in June, the number one blog was actually the same from May. It was a member submitted blog from our friends over at InfraCloud, which is really exciting. So just a friendly reminder that technical tutorials are super important. They perform well and get a lot of views. So send us your great content. Love to collaborate too. And if you're interested in learning more about kind of what content is the most popular or diving into this a little bit more, we also do have the analytic dashboard that you're welcome to click here. Oops, sorry about that. That'll give you a little bit more of a snapshot. You can search by project by month and it will really just help you as you prepare to submit your own blog content. If you are curious about how to submit a blog, I believe it's in the slides at the very end. You can also reach out to our blog team at CnCF.io. But congrats to the InfraCloud folks for their blog. It's doing great over there, which is exciting stuff. And then lastly, just a really quick update on humans of cloud native. We published two of these in June with Castlin Fields and Robert Strand. I believe Robert, I think you're on the call. So exciting. Congrats on your spotlight here. Yeah, you're here. Yeah, awesome. If you haven't read these, these are really great profiles just diving deeper into the wonderful humans that make up CnCF and cloud native. So excited about that. It looks like a pipeline is so full of submissions through Chicago, but if you want to nominate folks or want to identify somebody who we might have not missed on the list, feel free to reach out to us on the alias and we're happy to meet with them. But again, congrats, Robert. It's really excited you're on the call and congrats to Castlin on these spotlights. And if you haven't read them, highly recommend you reach out. Any questions on content marketing before we pass along to do a brief community programs update? All right, I will go ahead and pass it over to UKD to talk really quickly about community groups and we'll dive into KCDs after we finish all the updates. Great. Hi, everyone. Just a quick update on cloud native community groups. As you know, they're really coming back this year. It's been great to see all the meetups coming forward. July has had a super busy month. So if you have any meetups in your area that you'd like to join, check this out. There are a few that are virtual like women in cloud native that's happening on July 15. There are also meetups coming up in August. If you're interested in hosting a meetup in your local area, please visit community.cncf.io. We'd be happy to discuss next. Great. Thanks, Katie. And we'll be coming back to you for the discussion in a few slides. Any questions for community groups or community programs before we jump into events really quick? Okay, awesome. Well, our wonderful events team is actually at an off-site working on things getting ready for Chicago. So they are not on the call today. So I'm going to breeze through these updates. Again, you can reach out to them if you have questions. Just a reminder that we've got Cube Day India and Cube Day Singapore coming up this fall. Looks like sponsorships are open. So you can click here if you're interested in sponsoring any of these events. Also, we've got CubeCon and Cloud NativeCon and OpenSource Summit China coming up in September. It looks like there are sponsorship opportunities still available through August 11. So you have still have time to do that. Also, Early Bird Registration is open now through August 9. So make sure that if you're going to go, that you get and take advantage of that Early Bird Discount and Register soon. There is a co-located event happening with CubeCon China. It will be IstioCon. The CFP is open now through July 23. So make sure you get your CFPs in for there. And then the CFP is closed. The schedule is going to be coming out in August. So lots of events or lots of updates happening with CubeCon China. If you're interested, I've used this slide as a point for that. Also, we have got CubeCon and North America coming up in November. That's going to be in Chicago. Sponsorships are still available through August 10 and for levels and then August 17 for MPOs. Make sure that you register and get your hotel squared away. I know that the hotels are booking fast. So make sure you get ahead of that. The co-located events are live. And then there's a couple slides coming up about all the different colos that you can dive into. And again, the CFP has closed and we had a record number of submissions. I believe there were over 2,000, which is really exciting. And the schedule will be coming out at the end of August. So keep your eyes peeled for that. Here's just a quick deep dive into the co-located events. Feel free to peruse these at your own leisure. I won't read all of them. And again, there are some opportunities for sponsors as well as CFP deadlines for these coming up on this slide if you're interested. Lots of colos happening. Again, at KubeCon, which is really exciting. And then these two slides in here, Katie, do you want to talk through these? I believe these are related to the project opportunities. Yeah. So there's, as some of you know, there are always project opportunities at our KubeCons and we continue to span upon them every year. The first ones that just came out via email that was sent to the marketing committee email alias was the project updates for the keynote. Those are to submit a short project update video that will be hosted on the keynote stage. There's some guidelines for those who are interested in submitting. We recommend that you take a look at those. Those videos are due by Thursday, August 10th. You must submit your video and slide deck. If you have questions, there is a Slack channel for you to post those questions to our team and we'd be happy to answer them there. Additionally, there are maintainer tracks in the contrib fias. So these are open for the container or graduated and incubating projects. They're 35 minute sessions. And we encourage everyone to submit. The final date to submit is Sunday, July 16th. That's coming up this weekend. Lastly, we'll have project working sessions. These were formerly called project meetings. These working sessions are for projects to take advantage of the time onsite with each other. The maintainers will be in a room to talk through road maps or next steps within the project issues or anything along that kind of line. They're open to tags and graduated projects. You'll receive a four-hour time slot. And then the in-person project kiosk, which has grown every year and you'll have the opportunity to select being in a full-time or a partial kiosk, which means that you'll host that kiosk part-time. Project working sessions and in-person project kiosk interest form will be released in mid to late July. So later half of this month, you'll see that coming out on our website. That's the KubeCon website and it will be under the, I believe I'm just double checking. They'll be under the program drop-down. You'll see a drop-down for project opportunities. That's where you will be able to get all this information on one page about the videos and the maintainer sessions, as well as the project working sessions, as well as the project kiosk and ways to submit. And if you have any questions regarding any of these opportunities, you can email events at cncf.io. Great. Thanks, Katie. There is one question in the chat room, Jennifer, just to clarify the video submissions and project meetings are now only for graduated projects not incubating? Correct. As projects continue to grow and based on availability that we have at the website or not at the website onsite, we have to make adjustments in what we're able to provide and service. So at this time, we are only accepting video submissions and the project meetings for graduated projects. Can I ask a clarifying question here? This is Amanda. It looks like on the slides, the thing that was changed is the four-hour time slots for project working sessions or project meetings are for graduated, but incubating still gets that two-hour? Yeah, that's what I was, yeah, that gets that one hour. Yeah, so it looks like that's correct. I think I'll double check with the events team and post something in the Slack channel to clarify the change in that. I believe it must be something that's happening within space and what we're seeing with the demand, but I'll post something in the Slack channel just to confirm and clarify. That would be great, Katie. Thank you. Great. Any other questions? There is a question in the chat that I'll answer really quick from Isabella asking about humans of cloud native and if there's criteria. Isabella, basically just anyone who, yeah, we want to recommend in the community that's super involved, doing cool stuff. We really want to highlight those folks. You can check out the humans of cloud native page for more info, but yeah, happy to take any nominations that you have for that that are folks that are involved. All right, well, I'll breeze through the training and then we will get to our QCD discussion here in a second. So just a couple updates on training in our different enrollments. I'm not going to read each of these, but you're welcome to peruse these at your own leisure. Oh, looks like there's a double there. Sorry about that. There's also some updates on the KCA, the KCS, KCAD, the KCNA, and the Prometheus Certification Associates. Great. And then just a reminder in the back of the deck here, we do have the links to our slides as well as the link for where the YouTube recording is going. The Acquisition slide, as I mentioned, is moved to the appendix here. And then there is a slide for if you're new, there's member resources here and different links if you need help with any of that. All right, I'm going to go back to our KCD slides and I'll pass it over to you, Katie. Thanks, Christy. You can go ahead and jump down to the next one. So KCDs or Kubernetes Community Days are a community run and CNCF-supported event. They've really started to build momentum this year. Last year we hosted 16 KCDs and this year we're at currently 30 KCDs for the year and continuing to grow and then additional KCDs going into 2024. I wanted to give some background on how to get started. So there are numerous different ways to take a look at KCDs to see if it's the right forum for you and your local community to take part in. One way is to read a blog post from other organizers. There's a recent new section available on the KCD webpage. You can also check out upcoming events to assure that you're not competing against any other KCDs in the area or a CNCF-hosted event. We really are striving to ensure that there's an overlap and that your region and your location gets the recognition that it deserves with these events. We do require that you have at least three organizers from different companies to have a neutral stand for your event. Having a local CNCF ambassador helps. Of course, there are many ambassadors who aren't local regions who are helping out with other KCDs. There also are other KCD organizers from other events who are willing to help program committees. Those are things to take advantage of within this community that's built the KCD programs. And then lastly, the best way to start is to submit an issue via our GitHub to apply. That's another great way to check to see what events are in the pipeline to ensure that there is an overlap. Additionally, you can take a look to see if there's a KCD that's happening in your community that maybe you can be part of if someone's already submitted an issue for it. And then if you have any questions about the program, you can always reach out to KCDs at cncf.io. So there's a few benefits to organizing the KCDs. Like I mentioned before, there's a community of organizers. We have a workspace within the Slack channel that organizers are able to ask each other questions and really learn from each other. Additionally, they're able to celebrate their wins or share their hardships that they're having with the event and get some feedback on how to fix those. Additionally, we create a personalized email address for your organizer groups. So you can reach out to the community or have the community reach directly to your team. We do have a new webpage for KCDs. So we just recently updated our events at or our event webpage on cncf.io with descriptions about each of the different events that cncf.io posts or support and the opportunities that each of those events provide. So we recommend you taking a moment to check out that information. And then we've launched a new KCD webpage which highlights the blog. It highlights location of where KCDs are happening. It will have coming up soon a transparency report from each of the different KCDs ways to engage with KCDs such as how to host, how to speak, and how to sponsor. So it's a really great webpage for the community to have as a resource. We do have a ticket support system within the BEVY platform which is the platform we use to host your event on. And then we do have a CFP support within the SMAPI applied platform. We are going to be making the transition to sessionize in the latter half of this year and going into 2024. We also host monthly meetings to help keep organizers on track to allow you to ask us questions to let us know if you're running into problems that we can help navigate those issues with all of you. We do speaker and vendor introductions as needed, marketing support. As you know, we post about the events here in the marketing committee, but we also talk about them in Cube Weekly and on social media and blog post. We do provide a second for stickers. We provide 10 Linux Foundation certification vouchers for you to share with either your attendees as a raffle or to provide as a volunteer gift for your team. And then we do credly program badges at the end of the event for you to provide to your speakers and volunteers. And before we, you can go to the next slide, but before we get there, Linca, as a first time organizer this year, I highly recommend joining the organizing team. It's a great way to know the local community. Great. I love hearing that, Linca. I love the enthusiasm from you, Annalisa, as well. As I noted, we are at 30 KCDs this year. 16 have already been completed. We have 14 in progress and an additional five in exploratory stages. I wanted to give you the opportunity to check out the upcoming CFP deadlines, upcoming KCD events that are happening throughout the year, and then any available sponsorship perspectives are now being hosted on our GitHub repository. I'd love to take a moment and open up the floor for questions. I know I just gave you a lot of information about this program, but I'd love to hear any questions you have or any feedback. Hey, Katie, it looks like there's a question in the chat about how to get involved as an organizer. I think you might have touched on this a little bit, but could you elaborate on how people can get involved? Yeah, of course. The first thing or the first way to step to get involved is to take a look at the requirements to host a KCD. That's on our KCD or on our GitHub repository. There's a link either from the webpage or right here directly in this deck that you can follow the pathway to. There are several different requirements in terms and conditions for organizers to get involved, so taking a look at what's required of you is the best way to start. Once you decided that you agreed to those terms and conditions, the next step is to reach out to the KCD at cncf.io and let us know that you're interested in hosting an event and then filling out the GitHub issue. You can fill out the GitHub issue without having all the information at that time. You don't need to have all your organizer teams figured out at that time, but it is a great way for you to start soliciting to other local community members to help you with the event. Once you're at a step where you meet all the requirements and you do have all your organizing team in place, we'll set up a call with you and work with you on getting you set up in the tools, ensuring that your dates work within the calendar, answering any questions that you may have. We're really there to help guide you through this process, and those are kind of the best first steps. If you have questions beyond that, like I said, reaching out to KCD at cncf.io is a great way for our team to even set up maybe a preliminary call to talk about the benefits within your community for having these events. Katie, I have a question for you. We get this question all the time, so I wanted to raise it. What is the difference between a Cube Day versus a KCD versus CubeCon? I know that we just updated the website too, so it'll be a good call for that. Cube Day events are cncf-hosted regional specific events that are helping to bridge the larger cncf community to emerging and growing regions. One way to kind of look at the difference between a Cube Day and a Cube Con is the Cube Con is like a graduated project event, and then in the landscape of things, it's kind of like that graduated hearing of events, and then Cube Days are like the incubating hearing of events, and then KCDs are kind of like the sandbox of events. The opportunities for Cube Days are access to more advanced content, so you can have a beginner in advanced tracks, global sponsorship presence, cncf representation, scholarship opportunities, and connections to the broader community through sponsor speakers, etc. KCDs are community-hosted cncf-supported, focused on growing and sustaining local cloud-native communities. These are really community local organizers within a local region have a lot of passion for bringing cloud-native and growing their own little ecosystem within a certain area. This is a great way for first-time speakers to gain experience, for attendees who are new to the community to be introduced to the cloud-native community in a small setting. They also allow a lot of career opportunities and recruiting. A lot of the sponsorships happening at these events are local companies that are looking to really invest in that ecosystem, and it's a great way to access certifications and trainings as well as networking opportunities. Then, of course, CubeCon is that flagship event that is bringing the larger community together in one major event. It kind of encompasses all the cncf projects in one self-group, and it has multi-faceted programming as well as many different tracks, you know, going from student to novice to intermediate to experience expertise level, and that event really kind of gathers all adopters and technologists in one area. And then lastly, there is a project event. Those are cncf-hosted project events. They're focused on gathering the communities around a specific project within the cncf ecosystem, allows attendees to gain in-depth knowledge and actively contribute and network with industry peers within that project, and shape the future of cloud-native technologies through engagement of the project. Those opportunities within those events are accessed to project-specific content, connecting with the project community that includes maintainers and tags and sticks and distributors, and cncf representation and scholarship opportunities. Great, so we'll have a pop quiz on the different cube day events next call. No, just kidding. That's super helpful. I know we get that question so many times, and as Katie mentioned, we did update the KCDN events webpage, so great job, Katie, leading that effort just to give some more clarity around the different events, but I just can't believe how much this program has grown. I mean, even with the brief hiatus or virtual time spent during the pandemic and now just to see all these events coming full force back in person is so encouraging, and I love reading about all of the blogs and the things that organizers submit about just their experience. I wish I could go all over the world and go to all of these, but it's really cool to capture that as well, so thank you, Katie, for walking us through this and giving us a little bit more insight into this awesome program. Does anybody else have any other questions for Katie? This is, again, a requested discussion item, so I want to make sure people have time to ask the questions that they want. All right, quiet group today. Well, if you do think of questions, you know where to find Katie and Audra, who also works on KCDs. We hope that you'll reach out with that that takes us through our agenda for the month of July marketing committee. Thank you again, everyone, for joining. We look forward to seeing you all in August and hope everybody stays cool out there amongst all this hot weather. All right, take care, everybody. Bye. See you next time.
