 So there's been a couple of adjustments to the scheduling and the timing the CNCF listed us as starting at 8 o'clock That was actually when registration opened and then on the website It said 9 o'clock and then it said we started talking at 9 30 and you know, it's fluid. This is community So my name is Diane Mueller I'm the director of community development at Red Hat for the cloud platform group and for OpenShift and Operators and all kinds of other wonderful projects that we're working on And I really have to say thank you for coming to today's OpenShift Commons gathering here at KubeCon Because you had lots of other choices. There's we have Red Hat are speaking in like four other rooms in other topics on security We have an operator framework workshop in the other room. There's lots going on today So for you to make the choice to come here We're grateful and we're grateful for those of you who are sharing your stories today So we're gonna get started with a little bit of what is commons who we are and what we're gonna do today And I'm gonna bring up one of my fellow researcher to talk a little bit about cross-community collaboration To get us started the agenda like I said is a little fluid We are gonna have an update from a couple of the PM's Who are still not in the room yet, but I think they're in the lineup outside. So that's what I mean by fluid and Depending on whether or not the Azure team shows up. We may slide in the Azure Talk as well And we haven't then normally what we do at OpenShift Commons gatherings is we do the updates We get that stuff over with and we try and get all of our people who are using OpenShift to tell their stories because the OpenShift community is really about what you guys are doing with OpenShift and Kubernetes and all of the other projects that are wrapped around that so we have a number of really cool talks Though those may be a little fluid too So we'll see how all of this goes today and then in the afternoon we'll kick it off with something that's been sort of the hot topic for the Kubernetes space operators and the operator framework and operator hub Rob Somsky is here So we may switch him in earlier if the other folks didn't and then we've asked a number of people who have built Operators to come on stage to talk about what's what it took to build those operators Why they built them and just share their stories about that And then we're gonna have a quick talk about Knative Istio and all of that goodness and then we have really I'm very grateful to folks coming to talk about container security And we will do Q&A But we will probably do most of the Q&A in what we call our AMA session at the end What I'll try and do is bring all the red-haters who have spoken and a few others who are shy And drag them on to stage and we'll do Q&A to end end the day. So you'll get a chance I'm a little loud. I feel like I have a huge echo in this room. This room is a cavern They tell me they do car shows here. So I feel like there should be automotives on the floor or something And then we'll end with Brian Grace Lee is going to talk a little bit about the road ahead And Brian is our director of product strategy for OpenShift. So he'll give you some insights into where we're going For the day. So again, thank you all for coming And at the end of the day all of the folks that are in the operator framework Group have been invited to come over here. So there's about a hundred more people who hopefully do that Because my real goal today is to give you some facial recognition of each other And of some of the red-haters are going to be here because this I heard tell that there were at least 8,000 people coming to KubeCon It's probably gone up higher than that I'm not sure exactly what the exact final registration is and that's a really big number of people to try and Manage Meeting and greeting. So what I really hope you get out of today is that you meet and greet each other here today Get some facial recognition going Find a buddy so you don't get lost and on that note The food is going to be served for us in this room. So for lunches So and the coffee breaks will be in this room So you don't have to go wondering about this wonderful huge warehouse facility That we're in which is very nice and we're grateful for the space But so you'll be in this room for the whole day. There are bathrooms on either side I'm told you can go wander and find those during the breaks or whenever you need a bio break So do that But what I really do ask is that you mix it up and you meet new people Don't just sit with the same folks all day long try and meet a few folks because OpenShift Commons is the community for okd, which is our OpenShift open source project And it's all of our customers the upstream project folks All of the partners that we have a number of them are the some of the people that are written the operators and others So there's a lot of you here. There are over 500 member organizations OpenShift Commons is a Organization-based membership so you join once and anyone from that company can join from the CEO down to the coders to whomever so it's really pretty open and if you're into it so I Need to usually tell a little bit of a story about what is OpenShift Commons because It's not your typical Open-source community because we try and embrace everybody from not just the upstream and contributors Which is what normally we're trying to get you all to contribute code to our Codebase and give us feedback and log issues and do all that good stuff But really what we're trying to do is create a new sort of peer-to-peer Communication model for you to use slack the mailing list this the special interest groups We've set up and everything else so that you can connect with each other and in some ways Red Hat just gets out of the the story. So That's why this is pretty new to us It we started it about three years ago when we pivoted from being a platform as a service that was built on Arubian rails MongoDB thing you remember the old pause and gears and cartridges. How many people remember a gear and a cartridge? Yes, I'm yeah that karma metaphor has almost gone away But when we pivoted to Kubernetes it became such a big architectural shift that we had to do something different We had to figure out how to get the new information out to everybody and there's Daniel. Yay. Thank you for coming and So we did this big shift to going very virtual to being very Very much more Promoting the peer-to-peer connection so that we would only have to tell the story of what's in the next release once Maybe twice maybe three times as opposed to going To 20 conferences and to hundreds of customers. We tried to do things virtually We created the slack channel, which if you want to get into see me at the And any of the breaks and we'll set you up There's a whole YouTube channel. There's I think I've done almost 250 OpenShift Commons briefings with partners with project leads with end users all kinds of people There's tons of information and content out there. And if you want to tell your story, please let me know I would happily Do that the slack channels great to get connected with people the upcoming events is on commons.openshift.org It's usually tells you when it when you see something that says off the air that usually means I finally took a vacation And if you want to join Commons just join once you if you fill out the form on this You'll get a automated email from me and all my contact details and one letter that you have to have your company sign the one thing about OpenShift Commons that we've done is we Don't have any anonymity So you can't join as an individual you need to join as your company using your corporate ID And that has really changed the dynamics because we know who each other is on the mailing list and that And that way you can identify Someone you need to talk to or know when someone's trying to pitch you some sales where but It has also changed the dynamics for us and in the whole Universe of how we do our community development
