 All righty. We are ready to go. So again, welcome to the marketing committee call for November. So happy to see everybody. You know this information you're already here, which is great. And then just a reminder that this call is recorded as I was saying earlier so if you don't want to be recorded please stay off camera and off mute. A reminder that the recording and slides will be available after the meeting. I also posted the link to the slides in the chat if you want to go at your own pace. Our next meeting is just going to be in a couple weeks on December 7. It'll be a little bit of a different structure. We'll be focusing on the marketing chair elections for 2023. And then we'll also be doing some wins and some other activities. Just a reminder about the LF antitrust policy for reference here. We want to keep the lawyers out of this meeting so anything that's in here is confidential. And then yeah we've got a pretty full agenda today. So we'll go ahead and get started and with that I'm going to pass it over to Carla to talk about our nominations for marketing chair for 2023. Thank you Kristi. Also, thank you for the thanks on the slides. I'm not going to thank myself. But it's, I think the time has come. So I, it's a bit of a bittersweet moment for me but I'm also very excited to launch the new election of the of the marketing committee chair. It's been absolutely amazing to cover this role. So thank you. Thank you all for bearing with me for reaching out to me. But in terms of the practical steps, I would love to encourage everybody here to submit their candidacy. Any of you can be can be the next chair. There's some steps that you have to follow and there is a full description in the link that you can see in the slides. As you can read at the top, you're going to have a bit more responsibilities that I had. You also be running this meeting which is, which is pretty nice actually so you can also think about any other creative way to do it. That's ways to interact with the community. Again, have a look at the full description there. And if you want to also nominate someone else, you can reach out to Kristi here. They made it there and let her know. In terms of timeline. Again, as you can see there today is the day we are opening the nominations. The call is going to end on the 23rd of November. And like Kristi was saying, the next call is going to be about presentations by the candidates. So you can tell a bit more about yourself, why you would like to become the next chair for this committee, and just share something about you to the rest of the team. Then the voting is going to be open from the 7th to the 14th of December. And just before Christmas, you're going to have the results. So maybe it's going to be a present for you. And starting in January you'll be officially taking taking my place here so exciting times. Yeah, thank you again Carla so much for all your work this year. As you all know, this role has been in a couple different iterations over the year this last year. Carla really focused on having office hours and be more available to all of you on the committee. Next year we'd love the chair to be a little bit more involved with the creation of the tech and, and these meetings and stuff and of course I'll be working closely with the next chair but yeah this this nomination is open it's a great opportunity to not only, you know, get to know your fellow marketing committee members better, but it also is a great opportunity to elevate yourself in the community and get some thought leadership opportunities out of it. We really want to make the role a win-win on both ends and so would love to have you participate in that. You don't have to be an expert in all things CNCF marketing we're here to help you. That's part of the role to is really diving into the different programs and being able to help members so really it's just that you have the desire to want to help the community members. Maybe you're looking to kind of get more involved that's a great it's a great place to get started. So yeah if you have any questions about the role, you can reach out to me you can also reach out to Carla she's been the chair she can give you a little bit more context from that perspective but we're so grateful for you Carla and thank you so much. We'll do another send off for you in December but we really appreciated working with you this year and just all your great ideas around marketing and KCD is and all of the great things that you've accomplished this year so. Yeah, open to the nominations and if you again you can have any questions reach out to me if you'd like to nominate yourself or someone else. Feel free to reach out to me and I look forward to seeing what comes through and we'll pause really quick. Are there any questions before we move on to the next slide. All right, shy crowd today. Okay Carlotta you go to your next slide. Yeah, actually speaking of office hours. This is something that yeah has worked really well during this time and because of these upcoming election and I would like to again remind everybody that you can book sometime with me. I was there's a second Tuesday of every month but I'm aware that there's the deadline to submit that the candidacy for the chair. So feel free to reach out to me. My DMs on Twitter are open but maybe LinkedIn is a better place. Nowadays, you know, feel free to drop me a message and I'm sure we can find a time where I can answer your questions and, you know, give you any tip, any tips about submitting your candidacy there. So, thank you. Awesome thanks so much Carla. All right, we'll move to the next slide so just a heads up we will be also launching our end of the year marketing committee survey. You might remember we did a survey mid year just to kind of check in and see how things are going. This survey is really helpful for us in terms of how we structure the call your benefits etc. So it's really important that you take the time to take the survey we try to keep it short but also really use that information to help us shape these meetings and other things moving forward for 2023. So just a heads up that will be launching in early December, you'll get a notification via email and then the link will be in the next marketing committee call so we'll talk a little bit more about that. And the survey is anonymous but if you do want to share your contact information with us at the end we will be doing a raffle for priority booking for your online programs in Q1. So you'll get a one week advance notice of the calendar opening to book your slots so a little perk if you decide to give us the feedback there. And then yeah just looking at our end of the year meeting I would love to get some input from you all on some wins or some exciting things that maybe happened in your org or your company for the year. Of course related to CNCF and cloud native. Maybe you tried a new online program or you did something different with your booth or maybe you hosted a KCD like tell us all about it we want to hear those. We're going to be compiling those and having some wins from our end from the marketing side as well in the last call so we can have a little celebration before the holidays and the end of the year. If you have anything to share feel free to reach out by December 1st you can drop it in Slack you can also reach out to us one on one and be happy to cover that. All right, any questions on these items before we move on to the next section. Okay, let's go all right so excited to welcome our new silver members and our new end user supporter welcome if you're on the call this is your first one feel free to say hi in the chat we're so happy you're here. Yeah, as always we're keeping track of member acquisitions. There's a lot in here. If we miss something let us know we definitely need to get a bigger slide here I think or maybe take some things off. And with that I'm going to go ahead and move into the PR air section and I'll pass it over to Jesse. Sorry just kidding off mute. Thanks, Christie. So, obviously we had cube con this last month. Yeah, thank you. Fabulous we had so many great articles I send a pretty good list from the first three days to the marketing committee. Email alias. So everybody should have access to some of the top articles that came out in the first three days but there's just been a ton of really amazing articles that have come out since then so there's and they're coming out so it's been a really really great coverage experience with this cube con particularly I think I've been really blown away by the quality of all the coverage so these are just two or three I think I put three here three of the some of the interesting articles that we saw. And these are just three of many many, but just some really great coverage and we had 153 pressing analysts from across the world attending in person and virtually most most were in person which is great. As a result, we had some really great conversations during the press conference and the analyzed events and then we had to media roundtables which also had some great coverage come out of it we had several different people from different organizations and projects talk about their experience with developer experience and their thoughts on what's next in cloud native so it was it was really just a wonderful event we had so many members take, or actually sponsors take advantage of the pre event contributed to this article opportunity, and so we had over 70 articles appear in our, in our, our sponsor media sponsors publications, and then this was probably this was just by and large the biggest, the biggest cube con for announcements and over 110. And that's just, that's just 110 of people who who let me know that they were making announcements at the event I saw a bunch more. So, I'm sure we're more close to like 130 at least. It was just tons of news tons of news I know it was kind of hard to get coverage actually because there was so much news, but really great, really great. I put some coverage highlights in here as well for everybody to have a look at. This is mostly just like thought like cloud native coverage versus vendor coverage but there's a ton seven 70 articles. That's a great question Mike. So, only 70 articles, so it's kind of a lot. I know there was like there's like we had 290 or more sponsors. I think it's kind of hard to write an article thought leadership like a good article, but no 70s actually pretty good at least. I find I find that that's a that's a good amount. Actually, I think that some people just don't have the time maybe to take, take advantage of it, but I'm not quite sure. And the okay here's an overview of our announcements. Just from coming from us already we have like a ton. So, and then, yep, okay cool that's actually all for PR I'm going to hand it over to Tricia, who's going to give an overview of the awesome stuff that's been happening. Yeah, thanks Jesse I mean right along, right, right along, you know, with everything you just said in terms of the outstanding attendance both virtual and in person for the analyst but the coverage coming out of cube con several of the analysts sometimes to blog. So the difference between analysts and PR is that the analysts have a much longer editorial cycle. So we're often the events don't always align with exactly where they are in their editorial cycle. And we'll see news and we'll see reports and we'll see coverage coming out over the next several months, resulting from the different types of meetings and interviews they were having around cube con. There were a lot of connections made. You can see here just some examples of the cube con coverage itself coming from ESG the evaluator group and go ahead and go to the next slide. You know all firms major firms are represented. One I want to point out is obviously security cloud native security was a very hot topic as we've seen across the press and the analyst so you can see Fernando Montenegro wrote a really nice blog there that was in heavy reading, which is a top publication for the you also can see Charlotte Dunlap, who was writing about the key technology themes observability application security and phenops. And she also she wrote a report which is behind the gated firewall if anyone in your organization is a subscriber to global data but she also wrote a really nice blog which outlines some of the highlights. And then IDC. This is the time of the year that a lot of the larger analyst firms are doing their predictions reports or their top trends reports. So IDC for anyone who's interested in any of these. Well there are other reports they have, they have webinars across all of these topics and their survey findings that are a complimentary to anyone who wants to go and sign up and download I think they have something like 15 or more webinars and different topics so obviously we didn't put them all here on the slide but you know I encourage you go take a look. We have these future scapes. I, we have called out like the developer and DevOps predictions. They have them around, you know, zero trust, and, and even more. And go ahead and go to the next slide and then of course 451 Forester, we had. The first thing I just want to notice all these highlights. The analysts that are writing our analysts who attended or attending the cube con events and participating actively with the community. So Lisa star Brent Ellis, they were at the event Charlie die from China was joining us remotely he loves to come he actually came to LA last year or no he's come to events in the past but because he's in China a little more, a little more restricted. So these guys are writing a lot and they spent a lot of time actually meeting with CNCF leadership with different end users different members, and they wrote this, the era of cloud native transformation is here a blog but they also have a series of reports and those are really, really important because that's something that the whole community has had a chance to influence. They're also quoting the case studies and things that you're submitting so keep in mind there's that influence opportunity. And it goes on from there. Again, forester is also coming out with prediction reports. You'll see more and more prediction reports trend reports coming out so we'll we could highlight more of those in December but if anyone has any questions just let us know. And that's it from from the analyst relations side. Well, um, here are the slides that we just have with key message pull through for the key messages and then graduated projects and then we have two slides for incubating projects. And for everybody just to have a look at who's getting most coverage, etc. Yeah. Cool. Great. Thank you so much Trisha and Jesse that's super helpful. It's always exciting to see what everyone on the media and analyst front is up to especially post cube con lots of great coverage in there. With that we're going to move into content marketing and I'll pass it over to Libby to talk about online programs and keep weekly. Hey Libby. Hey y'all. Okay, so for online programs in October, we were a little light just because of cube con and taking some time off, but we had three live streams and we're seeing that viewership really skyrocketing with the LinkedIn YouTube combo. We have five on demand webinars and one live webinar. You can check out all of the registrations everything seems to be kind of on par per usual but the viewers are going up and the live live views, as well as the views post event are also going up so continue to look those out through the end of the year. And we will send out a note on when we will open up Q1 of 2023 as we get a little closer. And just a quick update on cube weekly again, we kind of have a couple weeks off due to cube con, but it looks, we're still getting great open and click rate so continue to send those articles and announcements and things into us. So we will take a break from this next week for the US Thanksgiving holiday but then we'll pick back up for a couple more weeks for the end of the year. Awesome thanks Libby and I'm going to go quickly through the blog and case study updates Charlie couldn't make the meeting today. But here's just a snapshot of our blogs for October. Check out more analytics through the dashboard here in the link if you haven't used it before this is a great resource. If you're looking to submit content or want to check to see how maybe a blog that you've submitted is performing. Great resource here and in the future we're going to be bubbling up the top posts just to make it a little bit more clear what's number posted so you can see those benefits in action. And then on the end user case studies front, still going strong here, we released a case study with data dog recently about their work with Silliam and ebpf always gives me a tricky time there. You're welcome to read the case study and also if you'd like to contribute a case study, there's details here and they get have already to reach out to Charlie one on one. All right, and we'll go ahead and move into our events updates, and we'll start with KCDs, I'll pass it over to you. Hey folks, thank you Christy. We have quite an eventful month this November for KCDs and starting off with this week. KCD Spain is actually currently happening. And they are going for another three hours I believe so this is the last day day two of KCD Spain. And then KCD Italy is happening virtually tomorrow so that starts at, I believe 915 in the morning. Central Eastern European time. So the links are here if you care to register. It is free for Spain and Italy. KCD Chengdu China that's happening in person this Friday so they actually had to postpone their event a few times I'm really excited for them to be actually executing it this week. And then yay KCD UK. A nice plug for Carla and team. It's happening next week in person. And I just want to say kudos to them for having, I think it's a 42% non male speaker lineup so good job on the diversity. And then also KCD Indonesia which is also an open open infra days event that's happening at the end of November as well. So that's in terms of upcoming events we also have a deadline for North American event, which is KCD Los Angeles it's going to be co located with scale 20x, and that'll be in person March 9 and 10, which is a Thursday Friday series. So their CFP deadlines coming up December 2, just around the corner. And then in terms of working groups, we do have one on the 29th. So we postponed it it was originally going to be on the 15th, but we're able to get a training for an expert from SM apply our CFP platform to present to whoever can join that's a KCD organizer so if you're not already on that meeting for the 29th it's at 7am Pacific time, which is, I believe, 4pm Central Eastern time, or excuse me, Central European time. So let me know if you decide to join. You can either email me at KCD at CNCF.io, or ping me on Slack. I decided to, you know, re kick off these working groups in 2023. This is technically the last one for the year because we figured the holidays, the month of December will be light and attendance. All right, thank you Mike for plugging KCD Italy. And the links are on the slide to in case or any other KCD events you're interested in. So over to you Christy. Oh, are there metrics around attendance for KCDs. Yes Brandon actually it's going to be released in the annual transparency report that the CNCF will be releasing so those metrics can be found there. Awesome. Thanks, I'll take a look. You're so welcome. Thank you, Roger. All right, I'll go ahead and move into events that we're going to be at. So a pretty busy event season through the end of the year here. This week our team was at super computing, and we'll be at one summit. And then we've got a reception coming up at AWS re-invent and of course we'll be supporting OSS Japan in tandem with Cube Day Japan, which is a couple slides later. If you're attending one of these events and want to help us in the booth, we'll be sending out some booth volunteer signups for the later events. I guess in Japan at this point. So stay tuned for that. We'd love to have you represent CMCF in the booth while you're there. We try to make those shifts short so that we can have community participation. It's more details to come. And then we'll move into some metrics from KubeCon. Just a note that we will be discussing event feedback from KubeCon, not in this meeting, but please fold it for December 7 and make sure you take the event survey. The events team is traveling for an offsite this week so they couldn't make this meeting, but we'll pick this back up next month. So any feedback that you have we'll discuss next month. I'm sure you all have seen this initial demographic data so far. It's got a digest of our attendees, as well as the different regions, job functions, etc. There also will be a full transparency report from the event that will come out on December nights. So additionally, more metrics to come, but this just kind of gives you a snapshot of the event here. Yeah, they mentioned we've got Kube Day Japan coming up. This will happen after Open Source Summit Japan on December 7 in Yokohama. If anyone's planning to go to OSS Japan or if you live over there would love to see you there. Thank you to our sponsor. You can still register for the event and check out the schedule here with all of the details. And then we've got just around the corner it feels like in February we'll be hosting Claudia the security con 2023. You might recognize the name of this was a colo at Kube Con but now has broken out to its own standalone event which is really exciting. It'll be happening in Seattle in February and we've got a couple different opportunities for you to engage so far registration is open now. And then the weekly bird deadline is November 23rd so that's next week so if you want to register take advantage of that show that with your team that would be great to get that extra bonus back in your pocket. We also have sponsorships still available. The contracts must be signed by February 5 and if you're interested in that you can reach out to the sponsor team and they'd be happy to help you there. So this is a schedule announcement now that the CFP has closed at a close last week in mid December. And then just a shout out to our sponsors for already jumping up and sponsoring this event. Really excited to see this one. Come together and hope to see lots of folks there. Another quick note that this is an in person only event so just keep that in mind. So we've got already doing our plug for Kube Con Europe that'll be in Amsterdam as many of you know, April 17 through the 21 so mark your calendar for that. The CFP is open through Friday so all those last minute ideas that you have please share the deadline with your teams, make sure that they're aware get those CFPs in. So still do have sponsorships available so if you'd like to sponsor the deadline is January 26. And then the deadline for the diamond sponsor lottery is December 8 if you have any questions about sponsorship stuff again I'll drop the sponsor email alias in the chat for you. I see a question about prolonging the CFP deadline. Not that I'm aware of now it's going to stand as is but we will keep folks updated so try to get those CFPs and before Friday, if you can. All right, I know the timeline is so tight to turn around. Also we've got next year almost, I guess, less than a year away now we've got Kube Con North America happening in Chicago super excited about this one. That'll be happening on November 6 through the 10th. Sponsorships are available. The deadline to submit is August 10 next year so you definitely have time here but I know as folks are confirming budgets ensuring things up for next year another great opportunity to get on your radar. There's information about the diamond lottery in there as well. And then just a quick plug to about our health and safety updates for 2023 events you might have already received this email that went out to all attend previous attendees about their feedback on COVID-19 health and safety protocols. So this will help us shape the events for 2023 so make sure you do take that survey. It just takes a couple minutes just to answer how you're feeling about this stuff and the deadline to submit that is December 2. We'll make sure that we post or that the link or link is shared via email. I'm sorry. So just make sure you check your email for the link there. It looks like there's a question about the LF membership. Sorry. Oh, I'll read the question. It looks like do you know when LF will have their 2023 perspective available? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it's already available. Yeah, Kim. Great. Thanks for answering that. Maybe Kim, we can drop the link in the chat for folks. That'd be great. Perfect. Thanks so much. Awesome. Well, that takes us through our meeting today. I just wanted to call since we have a couple of new folks on the call there are some appendix slides here related to the marketing committee and then member resources as far as like our member deck and things like that the job board. And then of course there are some training and certification updates in the back of the deck here if you're curious. Great. Well, I'm going to go ahead and pause. Are there any final questions before we let everybody go? I'm always a fan of giving folks time back, especially this time of the year when there's so much going on. Right. Well, it was great to see everybody. Thank you all for joining. Be sure to get those nominations in if you're interested in the marketing committee chair for next year. Hope to hear from you and hope everybody has a great rest of the day and happy holidays for folks in the US. We'll see you in December. Bye everybody. Thank you Kristi. Thank you Carla. Thanks everyone.
