 All right, we're going to go ahead and start the recording, and I'm going to go ahead and share my screen. Excellent. Can folks see the right screen this time? Yes, we can. Perfect. Thank you, Lindsay. Awesome. Again, welcome to the September meeting. I'm Christy Tan. Glad you all made it here. There's some conference info, and then, yeah, just a reminder that this call is recorded, so if you would not like to be recorded, feel free to leverage the chat, and I'll be keeping an eye on that throughout the meeting. Our next meeting is going to be on October 5th, Wednesday, October 5th, so mark your calendar for that. And we'll probably be talking a lot more about KubeCon during that meeting. A friendly reminder to follow the antitrust policy here that we have a left. If you have questions about that, you can reference the slide. And with that, we have a couple of announcements today, and then we'll be getting a exciting KCD update. Excited to introduce you all to Audra, who's on the KCD team, working behind the scenes, but also excited to have her here with you all. And with that, I'm going to go ahead and jump in to our ArgoCon updates. So just a friendly reminder that we've got ArgoCon coming up in a couple weeks here. Really excited for this event happening in Mountain View. If you missed my email, we are offering a special discount for the marketing committee. You get 20% off for being part of the marketing committee, so be sure to go and register. There are also free tickets that you can leverage. And also just a reminder that we've extended the cloud native survey. So if you haven't had a chance to take our cloud native survey, we'd love for you to participate. You also do get a discount off any Linux Foundation training for participating on that. I'm going to go ahead and pass it over to Audra to talk about KCDs. Hey, Audra. Hi, thanks, Christy. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to everybody. For those of you who I haven't had the chance to meet or work with yet I'm Audra Montenegro I came on in June to help run the KCD program, along with Katie Greenlee. And we've made a lot of updates to the program and one I want to focus on today in this announcement section is on diversity and inclusion in a KCD lineup. So there were a lot of great existing terms already but I just want to touch on those also some things that we've already been working on and then what's coming next. First, you could see the pre-existing terms for KCD organizers and just so you know, in case some of the folks don't know, we are revisiting this because we had a couple of lineups that launched with an all male speaker lineup. And so we just really take this seriously and we want to show the community our efforts and appreciation for diversity. So one thing we definitely were already planning on doing actually folks wanted to do this before I joined was a monthly organizer working group. So I helped get that kicked off in July and after that July meeting, we decided to do themes and August 16 was themed around curating a diverse lineup. So we got good feedback from that and we have the slides and the recording of that meeting here for your convenience. So please take a look when you have a chance. But unfortunately after that meeting we still had a lineup release with all male speaker lineup so KCD Washington DC was very gracious and working hard to get some more speakers to their lineup so we still needed to revisit. Okay, what as program managers do we need to do to make this just kind of hit the nail on the head and hit home for people. So we updated a couple of other terms within the GitHub repository. One was already pre existing and it was agreed to ensure the final program schedule is diverse, but the example was given, you know, diversity means not all speakers are one gender but we also added one culture or even one or two of the same company. So we can provide diversity and content as well. So we also linked to the slides that we presented on August 16. So that's a resource to everybody in the GitHub repository. And then something new we added was a standard to have everybody submit their lineup to us in advance. So this is something that we will review ahead of publishing it. And we hope that this will just be another layer or filter that will allow for successful diverse lineups. So in addition to that, we are looking to reinstate oops sorry still on that slide. Thank you Chrissy. We're looking to reinstate the speaker portal or speaker bureau as you might recall. This is something that I believe needed to be better populated in the past and so something really neat that Ambassador Bart Farrell came up with was a new program called CNCF first. It's very much in the early stages but the idea is to really up level people who want to speak at a Kubecon for example and may have been rejected in the past and so this would involve coaching and then getting these folks to do their first talk at say a KCD program. Again, this is very much in the early stages but we're looking forward to reinstating that speaker portal to better assist KCDs with their curation of their lineup. And then finally, I'll be writing a blog post actually I've already written it it's in review stages and it'll highlight these things and more to showcase to the community our efforts that were pre existing current and coming up. So if you have any questions, or if you see a lineup that is in question please come directly to myself or Katie Greenlee and the easiest way to do that is the KCD at CNCF.io alias, or you can reach out to us on the CNCF Slack. But we just thank you in advance for being very solution oriented we really want to be as welcoming as possible to new KCD organizers. Alright, next slide. And bevy. I know KCDs aren't the only one obviously that use bevy, but a really cool recent feature release, which was August 21 was chapter analytics. So in the chapter analytics dashboard. You can see more details on members which includes new member activity most active members so you can take informed action to engage with them. You can get analytics on events so this includes how events compare by venue type or attendance. Also, so tickets. This includes ticket types ticket orders ticket availability for upcoming events. And lastly insights on sponsorships and partners so that includes things like who they are, how many there are and the tier distribution for your events. So more to be seen at the bevy help center which is linked at the bottom of the slide if you have any more questions around that new release. I'll hand it back over to you, Chrissy. Awesome. Thanks, Audra. Before we move on any questions for Audra about bevy or KCDs. I know you have a couple other slides later on in the deck, Audra, so we'll get to more updates but I'll just pause for any questions real quick. Great. Okay. All right, we will move on. So switching gears a little bit. We are, if you remember from KubeCon Europe, we did a welcome video we asked for submissions from all of you 10 seconds, saying welcome to KubeCon in different languages, or being creative we got some really awesome submissions some really cute kiddos in our welcome video from last year from the few months ago, excuse me. So we are looking for short clips again, they were due September 8 so you've got one more day to get your submission in again it's a quick video you can report on Zoom or on your phone. Welcoming folks to KubeCon creativity is highly encouraged. And if you're looking for some inspiration I've also linked the welcome video here in the slides. And it's really easy you just submit your video to the Dropbox and then from there our video team will put them all together and then this video will play in Detroit before the keynotes and also in the platform so welcome you all to participate you can also share this with your teams to participate as well we got some really great submissions from the Oracle folks and other companies that did kind of a group mash up so appreciate that. Great. And also another reminder to submit your PR and AR announcements for the news package. Jesse I don't know if you want to talk a little bit about this slide, but just a reminder for folks with the deadlines October 14. Yeah, just feel read over the guidelines. If you can't submit it no problem, because a lot of companies have like endpoint security on submitting from Google Forms which is normal so you can either submit from your personal email account or just send it with all of the information to PR at cncf.io but yeah reach out to PR at cncf.io if you are anticipating needing a little more time because you can also just send a description of your news so if you have any questions just reach out no no problem. Awesome thanks so much Jesse. And then just a friendly reminder that there are monthly office hours with Carla they take place on the second Tuesday of every month at 9am. If you're interested in participating there Carla are awesome marketing chair would love to answer your questions get to know you, and we will have some office hours for keep calm Detroit we're still working out those details. Those will be with the marketing team here myself and others, but we'll have opportunities to meet in person in Detroit as well for anyone who's new. Awesome I'm going to move on to membership. So welcome to our new members we've got a lot of new silver members to celebrate this month so welcome to you all and if you're new for the first time feel free to say hi in the chat or so glad you're here and look forward to connecting with you on your new member welcome calls. And our favorite member acquisition slide that we're keeping track of. Haven't been a ton of activity oh there was something in August, but we're keeping track back there. Sorry, my cat is going crazy with the screen here. And with that I'll pass it over to you again Jesse to talk about PR and then they are team will give their update as well. Yeah, great so we have the Kubernetes 1.25 release, which went, which went really well. We saw a couple different articles published in Europe specifically Germany and France because we've really developed some great relationships with those reporters which has been really nice to see that international coverage as well. So, that was great. And then also for the next slide. We also had the telco micro survey that that was released if anybody didn't have a look at it. It's, it's linked here, feel free to look at it was great. And then a feature article that came out that we set up with our CR wireless, which is also available for your reading pleasure. Yeah, so that was a great feature article thanks to Taylor for doing that for us. And then I will let Carl talk about all the AR slides that we have on here. Perfect. Hey everyone. So yeah, this past month we continue to see a theme that analysts are continuing to cover cloud native cloud native technologies and the practices. And it's becoming increasingly common among enterprises. Some, some stuff to back that up for example we're seeing. When you look at the Gartner hype cycles that I've been coming out over the past few months keywords like cloud native are mentioned in 75% of those reports. Last month, but for those of you who are new hype cycles, a Gartner hype cycle provide a graphical representation of the maturity and adoption of the technologies and applications and they each cover a small subset of those technologies. The entire hype cycle portfolio makes up some of the most important research that we see for the year. And that's why I keep highlighting them in these reports. In particular, the Gartner hype cycle on emerging technologies is unique among the hype cycles because it identifies the key insights from more than 2000 technologies and like distills it into a succinct. Must know if you will guide to emerging technologies and trends. These technologies and trends are they're what they say they'll do is they're have the potential to deliver a high degree of competitive advantage, or the next two or 10 years. And that's why I suggest if you have access you take a look at that report in particular out of all the Gartner hype cycles. And if you don't have access there is a webinar coming up on September 12 that'll cover that will cover that hype cycle as well. On the next slide. We've got some highlights just some other stuff that's coming out I just wanted to pull out some highlights if you do have access these are some great ones to read if you don't have access. Take a look at those blogs in general Gartner blogs are great way to get to know the voice of the analysts get to know who's who's writing. And it's just a great way to keep up with overall macro trends in the industry and so on so forth. In particular, I really like this one cloud costs on big Macs which goes into some of the purchasing power parity around cloud costs and different regions in the world and cloud costs which is really interesting. From Red Monk this year this month. There's a lot more from Kate Holderhoff, her research on marketing towards developers has some updates, and she also has updates on certification series which the scene CF has been heavily contributing to for context Kate used to teach technical communication at Georgia Tech. So she's got some experience on marketing towards developers. She used to teach teach them. So in 2451 we've got some further proof that cloud native technologies and practices are becoming increasingly common among enterprises. That said, they, there are some key reports coming out from them that's cautioning that although there is significant growth within the container orchestration software it still represents a relatively new and complex it operation for a lot of organizations. With that I'm going to hand it over to advocate who's our intern for the summer to wrap it up. Hi everyone, I'm advocate, and I'll be going over these next few slides. Over this past month we have noticed that tech oriented analyst groups such as Forrester are observing growing and promising value as cloud native becomes increasingly mainstream within the ecosystem of enterprises. On top of that digital businesses are seeing flexing new muscles in a microservices based cloud native world. Next slide, please. We continue to see the trend of analysts exploring and covering cloud native technologies and practices, due to organizations further expanding cloud native development. This overall growth of cloud native technologies and practices hosted by CNCF are increasingly covered across analyst firms. And as a result we are seeing a lot of interest from the analyst community and keep calm this year. Yeah, thanks. Very nice. So yeah so as we do each month this is just an overview of the key terms that came up during CNCF searches so they continually remain security storage machine learning AI edge, all on the top so. Also, then we have our graduated projects here and then the next slide are the two slides are incubating projects there and here. Well, yeah. So, if you have any questions about those ever feel free to email. Awesome. Thanks PR and air team will take a quick pause for any questions. Love getting all that amelie analyst updates. It's really great. All right, we'll go ahead and move on to content marketing and I'm going to pass it over to Libby to talk about online programs. Hey Libby. I'm sorry I don't know why I'm called admin in this and locked up and apparently but I'm Libby good to see you. Okay online programs in August we had a total of sorry I didn't update July that should be August five lives, five live streams are cloud native live with an average of 41.7 viewers per session. 11,000 total watched minutes and over 10,000 total views. Important to note in this these numbers are a little bit higher we have now been able to access the link in data for our live streams. So these numbers are looking good. Five on demand webinars with about 4400 total views and we did not host any live webinars this this month. Important to note also everybody mark your calendars. I've been getting questions already save the day the q for calendar dates will open September 21. That's a Wednesday so mark it down and when you wake up, get go and start booking those online programs. We'll also send an email reminder as well so. Okay cube weekly, August update there were about 2700 max opens max clicks you can see we're about almost 1200 average open rate is about 51% just about an average click rate is 16, almost 17%. We've kind of changed our graph around to note the rise in the open rate that is going up. We are keeping an eye on the over the coming months from the summer we had a little dip in subscriptions so keeping an eye on things but all in all the open rate for the content going out is going up. So, y'all keep sending your info long. Awesome. Thanks, Levy. And I'll go ahead and pass it over to Charlie to give us an update on humans of quality to Charlie. Hi, Christy and hello lovely people. So yep humans of cloud native update. We've had three awesome profiles that we've done this month with Mohammed Ali Divya Mohan and you want time you might know as Terry. These are just such wonderful people doing really fantastic things in the ecosystem, and it was absolutely joy for me to speak to them. And so if you have anybody that you think would make a great profile feature for the humans of cloud native someone who is advancing the community in any sort of way perhaps they are contributing to a major project. Maybe they're organizing their own meetup groups. Anyone who is a friendly face has a great story to tell and can help us humanize the amazing community that were a part of please reach out to me on humans at cncf.io. Next one please Christy. And so yeah end user case study update we've had some great case studies published this month from word tell and utmost. So these were two case studies that were actually written by our fantastic end users and submitted to the program. It's a super easy process to follow you can have a look at it on GitHub I've got the link here in the slide. So all you have to do is follow the format, and we can sort of give you a hand with any editing, and we can get these up online for you ASAP. See a note that we do have cube con cloud native con coming up if you had forgotten about that, which I don't think anyone really can. So if you would like a case study published before then please do reach out to me as soon as possible because I already have a lot of case studies in the pipeline. So just lastly a quick look at our blog metrics because these are live for you at any time of day or night you can just have a look at analytics and the link is there on the right of the slide. I just wanted to call out one of our blogs. This month was really amazing it was a Kubernetes monitoring, leveraging for open source tool sets and this is a guest post by Matt Lenhard from container IQ and this was read almost 6000 times. And I just wanted to highlight just how powerful the CNCF blog can be for you if you've got a great story to tell particularly anything technical is what really gets our readers excited so please do keep submitting it to the blog. I think we have a link somewhere. If not I will put it. It's just, it's just it's just email blog at CNCF.io, and that'll be Jesse who responds to you. Thanks Jesse. Thank you. And also just a quick note on those metrics as well it's not just the blogs but you can take a look at how your case studies are performing to. And I think that's it for me Christie. I'll just pause for a second any questions for Libby or for Charlie before we move on to events. Okay quiet group today. All right, I'm going to go ahead and pass it back to Audra to give us a KCD update continued KCD update, Audra. Hello again. I just wanted to highlight some upcoming dates, like the upcoming KCDs. We just had one last weekend, which was all virtual and that was KCD Sri Lanka. So that link in there is actually to their YouTube live feed recording so you can have a look. That one's about three hours long and then they did live demos the following day on the fourth. Coming up is KCD Washington DC that is in person. And that's next Wednesday so a week from today. And then Pakistan is a little up in the air they were trying to have their KCD this month but it looks like it's going to be early October. So we'll have more details on exact date when they finalize that. And then upcoming CFP deadlines yay KCD Italy's CFP deadline is this Friday the 9th. So if you haven't submitted and you wish to present at KCD Italy. Please do so. And then we have Spain on the 21st Indonesia on the 30th and then in October, the Nordics and the Netherlands deadlines. As I mentioned previously, we do have a new monthly organizer working group. So the third working group is actually on September 20. So if you are a KCD organizer and have yet to be invited to that please reach out to me on Slack or email KCD at CNCF.io and we'll get you added. Currently we are doing seven to eight a.m. Pacific time which is four to five central European standard time. And if that time doesn't work for you we actually are looking to do another time for other regions once we get more interest. If you could throw the next slide please. Oh, Roger real quick there's a question in your chat. It looks like Kirsten's asking, can anyone attend KCDs do they need to register. Yes, so anyone can attend KCDs. A lot of the virtual ones are free actually and then in person that's usually a nominal fee. Then there are a few hybrid ones too. So if you want more details on which ones are virtual hybrid or in person. I'm happy to give those to you after this call. All right. So the organizer working groups that I just mentioned our first one was on July 19 and that was more of a round robin like introductions what's working what needs improvements. And then we decided to go on to themes from there. As previously mentioned we did had a curated diverse lineup on August 16, and then coming up is September 20 meeting which is best practices for sponsorship sales and marketing plan. And then following that will go over bevy and SM apply tools. And then later on, towards the end of the year actually it'll probably be the beginning of 2023 we'll just do a review of the year and have KCD organizers present on their 2022 events that they delivered and let us know how they went from them. Back to you Christie. Great. Great to see all these meetings in different places to plug in any other questions for Audra before we move on to more events. I wanted to thank Audra actually for all these initiatives around the Kubernetes community base. I also attended the August meeting that the organizer groups, it's, it's worth for everybody involved in that in the KCD is to attend these meetings because all together we can actually actually make all the changes and suggestions so yeah thank you for this. Thank you so much for saying that Carla. Yeah it is great to hear all the voices of the organizers and the collaboration from everybody. It's really cool to see that. That's awesome. Love to see that. All right, well we'll move on to some other event updates. So just a quick recap of some events that we're going to be attending. We're also going to open source summit and that athletics conference in Europe happening next week we will be there make sure you say hi at the booth. We also sent out a note if you'd like to volunteer in the booth and help us out. If you have any of those details we can repost those in Slack but we'd love to have volunteers. I'll also be at Spice World, and then LF members summit super computing AWS reinvent and OSS Japan so lots of events coming down the pipeline and of course Q con which is on the next slide. And a reminder that Q con Detroit or Q con North America is coming up October 24 through the 28 at the Huntington Palace. We are really excited to announce that we have launched kids day it's going to be Minecraft themed and registration and additional details for that will be coming soon but really excited to have a kids event this time around. And then, if you missed it we released a couple health and safety updates. There's details in here that attendees must show proof of either being vaccinated or a negative covid test enter the event. We will no longer conduct daily temperature checks for entry for attendees and masks are still required at all times unless actively eating or drinking in a designated areas. So we have a lot of information about CNCF are sorry, on site testing and things here in the slides and you can reference this link. And I'll pause does anybody have any questions about this before we move on. Okay, great. And again thank you to our sponsors, our diamond sponsors AWS Cisco Intel, cast and by beam Prisma cloud by Palo Alto Networks and VMware, and thank you to all of our sponsors we really couldn't put on this event without you so thank you for us. And then quickly I'm going to go through our very busy two days of co located events. We've got backstage con cloud native security con and again all of the information about registration schedules etc are all in the sites here so I'll let you go through those at your own leisure. I'm cloud native wasm day k native day batch and HPC day e BP f I always trust me on white con cloud native telco day open observability day get offs con. We've got these AI day kubernetes on edge day Prometheus a service mesh con North America and six store con so lots of co located events again these are events that happen. The two days before the actual conference starts so they're happening on the 24th and the 25th so Monday and Tuesday. Be sure to add one of those to your registration you can find again details about schedules the cost for registering all of that information. I'm going to go through those slides here and highly recommend you tack that on. And onesie do you want to talk about the color events speaker registration update. Sure. So there's been some feedback related around co located events speaker registration. So I wanted to provide an update there that we are enhancing our current offering by extending deadlines, offering additional support, and then ensuring that no speaker, you know is experiencing a barrier barrier to attending the event because of the coupon ticket price. We continue to appreciate our speakers and want to make sure that we're continuing to support them. During each notification window, speakers will receive details about how to apply were to ask questions, etc. And then we'll continue to kind of iterate and see how this process goes for North America, and possibly make updates in 2023. So if you have any questions around this I know this was a topic and then our last marketing committee call so I make sure that looks that they have questions. Oh, it looks like we do have one question in the chat. What are the registration numbers for keep on North America. Lindsay, do you know what we're comfortable sharing at this point. The 9000 in person. Yeah, that we've shared. All right. And then here's just a list of sponsor hosted co located events that are happening. Also, in conjunction with all of the other events at keep on going to pause it looks like we have another question here in the chat. This is around blogs for submitting blogs to blog at CNCF to IO does the blog content need to be unique as a non publishing. Great question. So for the question is around for the blog, do you need to submit content that's completely new and original. No it does not it could be something that you've already published on your own site it just needs to make sure that it fits the blog guidelines I'll link those in the chat but basically it needs to be vendor neutral you can add your own call to action. But I'll link the guidelines in the chat for you. So the question about is there a media list for keep on. Yes, there is a media list. I believe that is a sponsor benefit correct Lindsay for gold and above. Yes, yes. Okay, perfect. That's what I thought just want to make sure thanks. All right. Perfect. Oh, thanks Charlie for linking that perfect. All right, we'll go ahead and move on. And so also in our pipeline for events we have cubed a Japan that's happening on December 7. We have a program of open source summit Japan. There's details in here the schedule announcement will be coming soon. And there's also the opportunity to sponsor that still open until October 7 so if you're interested make sure you click on the link there. And then a reminder that if you can imagine already thinking into 2023. So we have a new con conative con Europe happening in Amsterdam that will be April 17 through the 21st. The CFP is going to open today so be on the lookout for that. And the deadline to submit will be November 18. So, lots of events coming through the pipeline. Okay, really briefly I'm just going to walk you through our appendix here. We've got some marketing committee links for reference. If you're new there's also a slide on member resources. And then if you're curious about putting some of these programs into action. We've got a couple of recordings that you can check out. There's also a training and certification update at the end there. And that takes us through our agenda today I'm going to go ahead and pause does anybody have any additional questions. Before we let folks go get some time back in your day maybe get a pumpkin latte, you're feeling really fall. Awesome. Yeah, thank you all for joining our monthly meeting. I look forward to seeing you all in October and enjoy the rest of your day. Take care everybody. Bye.
