 I think we can start slowly. I hope you have been enjoying your time here in Vancouver. I hope you liked the event this year. We had the first in-person event last year, so this is the second time we had the CD-Con in person, and hopefully next year will be even better. And if any of you have any comments, feedback, just send me a Slack message, an email, and we make this event even better next year. Thank you. Yeah, I think I told some of you, I met with Andrea here in 2016, so this is the third time I am here, and I hope to come back. So it's a really nice place. So as you know, CD Foundation recognizes contributions of our community members, and we give awards to our community members from the CDF based on their contributions to our efforts within the CDF, like outreach efforts, documentation efforts, and so on. In addition to community, CDF community awards, we also give awards to our project contributors as well. And today we have lots of awards to give, which is a great thing, because then it means our communities are really contributing to our projects and to our efforts in CDF. And as you see there, we will hand out 18 awards, and I hope we can all celebrate their contributions and achievements together and recognize their contributions. So on CDF level, we have five awards, top ambassador, continuous entity sales, top contributor, top documenter, and top end user. On project level, we have a CDF project contributor, awards for all our projects. In addition to that, we have special awards for graduate projects for Jenkins and Tecton, most valuable advocate and secret MVP. So some of the winners are with us today, which is great, because it's always nice to have people here, so they can see who is contributing and who is putting another effort in making our projects better. And some of our winners couldn't make it this year, so we have a recording for their acceptance speeches, so we will be watching their acceptance speeches after we passed awards. So we start with project awards first, alphabetical order, so we are not favoring any project or the other. So the first project award is for CD1's project, which is one of the younger projects within CDF, and the most valuable contributor award goes to Emil Backmark from Ericsson. And I worked with Emil for years, I think six, seven years when I was working for Ericsson, and Emil has contributed consistently and continues to CD1. He has been with CDF since very early days of the Interoperability Seek, and he has been working with Andrea to turn this idea of interoperability into its own special interest group and to a project CD1's. And he has been part of the more site committee over the past year as an end user representative, and he has been talking at the conferences, and he has been passing the word about what we have been doing within CDF Foundation, within the interoperability area. So, thanks Emil for your contributions, and I will be seeing you in Sweden soon. The second award is for Jenkins X, and again Jenkins X also has most valuable contributor, and for Jenkins X this year, Morten Suantesson won the award, so please. So Morten has been very active contributor to Jenkins X project in the last few years, and he has made significant contributions not limited to the code improvements themselves, or adding new features, but he has been part of forming the technical oversight committee for Jenkins X. Jenkins X formed technical oversight committee I think last year, and he has been chairing the technical oversight committee as well, so thanks Morten for your contributions. So the next award is for Ortelius, and again the winner is not with us today, but the winner is Sasha Varton, so please give him. I think he is based in South Africa, if I'm not mistaken. Sasha has been doing lots of contributions to Ortelius, and he developed Ortelius in the box, and that was on the wish list for a long time for the community, and then he also worked up setting up Ortelius Dev environment, and hopefully this will attract more developers to spend more time with Ortelius itself, because if we make our developers' lives easier to give a try to our projects, then they will hopefully join as contributors, because they will like the project and they will continue to make it better. Oh, sorry, it was too fast. Sorry for the spoiler. So Persia is the latest project that joined the CD Foundation. We announced Persia joining the CD Foundation in October during our CD summit in Detroit, which was a co-located event to KubeCon Cloud NativeCon, and the winner, which you saw it already, Steve Taylor, so please. Steve is a primary contributor to Persia and has been with the project from the very beginning and is continuing to drive it forward, and he is the best. This is the person who nominated Steve. So, Steve. Thank you very much, everybody. Yes, like you're saying, I was one of the ones that helped get Persia moved over into the CD Foundation, helped with the governance board of that, got the bootstrap going, so we are looking for contributors. Always are. So, if you are interested in anything around blockchain, some letters and immutable builds, please get in touch with me. Thanks. Thanks, Steve. So, next up is Screwdriver CD, and again, Screwdriver CD community has most valuable contributor awards, and unfortunately, the winner is not with us today, but we have recording from him. So, the winner for Screwdriver most valuable contributor award is Yuta Kaneda, and he made a big impact on Screwdriver CD project by introducing, working with breaking changes. He made a big major jump, bump, upgrading Ember, and it helped to lift the Screwdriver UI framework, and he also works with security aspects of the Screwdriver. The next award is for Shipwright project, and as some of you might know, Shipwright is one of the different projects we have in CD Foundation, it's Kubernetes native build framework, if I am not mistaken. And again, Shipwright has most valuable contributor award, and unfortunately, the winner is not with us today. But yeah, please congratulate him for winning the award, Otavio Fernandez, and Otavio established two new projects within Shipwright. The first one is called Setup, and it is a GitHub action that installs Tecton Shipwright and container registry in a kind cluster to simplify the setup of Shipwright, test setups in Shipwright projects. The second one is the Triggers project which integrates container image builds running in Shipwright into larger CI flows, so it can already run as part of a Tecton pipeline. So yeah, thanks Otavio for your contributions. And the last project award is for Spinnaker, and Spinnaker most valuable contributor. I think he is with us today, David Byron. Oh yeah, please, thanks David. David has shown significant commitment to Spinnaker last year in both leadership and as an individual contributor by topping the chart of number of committees in 2023. Congratulations, and he played a critical role in transitioning and simplifying the Spinnaker build and release process. So thanks a lot, David, for your contributions. Don't have the speech prepared. Yeah, I'll just keep turning the crank on Spinnaker. Also happy to have other contributors. Well, there's plenty to do. Thanks David. So as I mentioned, graduate projects have three award categories, so we are moving to our graduate project awards, and the first award will be handed out to Jenkins Project Award winners. The first award category for Jenkins is most valuable advocate, and the winner is with us today. And please congratulate Mark Weite as the winner. Thanks Mark. And he has been advocating about Jenkins on all the social media and so on, and he has been reviewing pull requests and working with YouTube videos with fellow committee members, and he is working with Sikhs and so on. So it's too long to list all your contributions. So thanks Fatih. So just as was said, looking for additional contributors, happy to have more people to help. Oh wait a sec, that's the job of an advocate, isn't it? Please consider your opportunity to contribute. It's a delight. Thanks very much. Open source software is a bunch of fun, isn't it? Thanks Mark. The second award category for Jenkins as a graduate project is the most valuable contributor, and the winner is not with us today, but I believe he recorded acceptance speech. So please congratulate John Fileshik for his award. So he has been contributing to Jenkins community a lot, especially improving the look and feel of Jenkins, and he has successfully implemented major changes to Jenkins user interface, remote outdated components, and advanced the state of Jenkins user experience. Thanks a lot Jan for your contributions. The last award for Jenkins project is Jenkins security, and as we all know, the security topic has been pre-heard since last year or so with executive order and so on, so it is important for our graduate projects to continue the security, the state of their security of their software, and obviously this is valid for our other projects as well, and this is by the way, for not graduate project, security is one of the criteria to pass in order to graduate, so it is important, and that's why we recognize the contributions in security area for our projects, for our graduate projects. The winner is not with us today, but please congratulate Daniel back for his contributions to Jenkins. So Daniel created a work with the Jenkins code scanning tooling project, and that project went to GA recently, and he has been working with the documentation for Jenkins security, and he reported more than 50 vulnerabilities alone, and he continues to ensure the update center is stable and secure as you know, Jenkins has a rich plug-in ecosystem, and it is important to keep the plug-ins secure as well and update center as well, so thanks Daniel for your contributions. So the last project we have awards for today is Tecton, and Tecton as you know, it was graduated from CDF October, and we announced it's graduating during CDF Summit in Detroit, and Tecton project will have three awards, and the first award is most valuable advocate, and the winner is with us today, so Andrea. So Tecton is one of the hats Andrea wears, like Tecton CDF and CDF TOC and everything, but Andrea has been doing other efforts around you know, advocating the use of Tecton and so on, so thanks a lot for your contributions. Yeah, it's been great contributing to Tecton, it's a very fun community, I've been with the community for a while, and it's always fun to be in the community, and always very happy to go and advocate about Tecton, and we always need new contributors, so come and join us. Thanks Andrea. So the next award category is most valuable contributor, and the winner is not with us today unfortunately, but we have someone to accept or give a speech about the winner, so the winner is Jerobe and Kristi, please welcome, and please congratulate Jerobe. So Jerobe has been contributing to Tecton very consistently, bringing several exciting new features into Tecton, and leading the discussion topics on different topics like large results and artifacts and so on, and we don't have her award with us today because we shipped it to her, but Kristi please. Wait, does this work? Oh yeah, so I guess anyone who's worked with Jerobe I think would say that she is a pleasure to work with, and also Tecton and Google are very lucky to have her, so excited to see her win this, it's very well deserved. Thanks Kristi. And the last project award is Tecton Security MVP, and the winner is with us today, so I would like to welcome Billy to stage. Congratulations Billy. So Billy has driven all the features around chains, the security, and he has helped us crafting our press release, because Tecton announced a lot of security features, so it's too long to the sixth store, and you know, Tecton Catwalk and everything. Thanks a lot for your contributions Billy, and yeah, this is correct. Yeah, it's been great to be involved in the security space in Tecton and Supply Chain. Always happy to help, even if you're not in the Tecton space, happy to have conversation around Supply Chain, security, anything else? Let us know how we can help. Thank you. Thanks Billy. So that was the last of our project awards, and now we have five CDF hours to hand out, and the first award is the top CDF ambassador. As you know, we have an ambassador program, which is a yearly cohort, and we announced the latest cohort, 2023 cohort last week, and we have lots of great contributors within our ambassador's program all around the world, like from Australia to India, Turkey, Switzerland, and US, and Canada. And the winner of this year's top CDF ambassador is not with us today, but I'm sure he will be watching this recording, so sign, Safdar, thanks for your contributions. Yeah, he's a very enthusiastic person, I believe. He is working on crafting the first workshop, very first workshop, if I am not mistaken. So thanks for that, same for your contributions, and we hope to see even more contributions. The second CDF award is Continuous and Shiest. I think, again, this is a really different category, because this requires you to talk about CDF with everyone, pass the word about good work our committee is doing, and it requires energy, it requires the power to excite people, get them to stand up so they don't sleep. And the winner is Laurie Noruso. Yeah, no, it's okay, we're gonna go drink later. Oh, this is being recorded. Okay, anyway, it's been awesome getting to work with the CDF. I believe in the mission, I think everybody here is rad, and we all have really cool things to do, and I just appreciate being able to represent you guys on a larger stage. So yeah, thanks. Thanks, sorry. So the third award category is CDF top documenter, and as you might have noticed, if you check the CDF website, for example, it was refreshed recently, and if you have been looking at the best practice website, it's been kept up-to-date with new information is brought in, for example, the supply chain security maturity matrix documentation integrated. And one of the bigger contributors to the documentation efforts within CDF is Terry Cox, so please. The fourth award is top CDF contributor, and again, this is an important award because it is not just contributing projects, but also contributing on CDF level across techniques, technical initiatives, and within technology level. And the winner for this year's top CDF contributor award is Steve Taylor. Oh, again, thanks again for reaching out to all the different projects and being on the board of the TOC really gives me insight into everything that's happening, so keep doing what you're doing. I think we're on a roll. Thanks, Steve. And the last CDF award is top end user, and this award is given to our end user contributing companies the previous years, I believe. Fidelity Investments won the end user award. Ericsson won the end user award, and this year, we have the top end user award winner is eBay, so please. And Aramind, we have Aramind with us today, so eBay. Thank you CDF for recognizing eBay's involvement with the community and such honor, and we are excited about the future and look forward to be more involved. Thanks, Aramind. Thank you. So as I mentioned, as you notice, like some of the winners are not with us today, but they took their times and recorded their acceptance speeches, so let's listen to them starting with Emil and the others. Hi, and thank you for the CDF event's most valuable contributor award. I'm humbled to receive this award, and I would like to propose a big shout out to Andrea Frittoli, who is my co-chair in the CDF events, and he is just as much as a contributor to the CDF events project as I am, if not more. We are constantly looking forward for new contributors to the event protocol, so don't hesitate to join us in our meetings if you would like to form the event protocol for CIC Ecosystem for the future. See you around. Hey, everybody. Thanks for the most important for me to become the Jenkins country to the year 2023. It really means a great deal to me, so thanks again. Have a wonderful conference. Hello, my name is Morten Svantezon, and thank you for the award for the most valuable contributor to the Jenkins X project. Something I have a sheet through scratching where it itches. Hello, everyone. My name is Otavio, and I'm very humbled to have received the CDF foundational award for the shipwrights project. I am one of the developers, one of the members of the community, and I've been working quite a lot last year with shipwrights, and we will continue this year. So I'm very humbled to have received this award, and I'm very happy. Hello, my name is Sasha Wharton from Cape Town, South Africa, and I was awarded the Otelius Community Award. A massive thank you to the CDF, Steve Taylor, Tracy Reagan, and the Otelius community. PS, aliens are real. Hello, everyone, and big congrats to all the speakers of CDCON 2023. I wish I was there super day, super happy, super special day being awarded as a top ambassador for 2022, and huge thanks to all this ambassador I am fortunate to work with during a whole year. Big shout out to the Otelius community members. I can feel your support every day. Award all the motivator for doing more great things, hoping to do the same again. Enjoy CDCON 2023. I'm sorry that I couldn't be with you today, but I am very happy to accept this award on behalf of everyone who's collaborated together on the CDF Best Practices website and documentation. It's been a huge collaborative effort and couldn't have been achieved without everybody who's come together and committed to adding their knowledge and experience to this huge base of knowledge that we've managed to pull together. So thank you, everyone, and in particular thanks to my co-chair and all our amazing person, Tara. It certainly would not have been such a fun journey without your help. Thank you all. Hello, my name is Yuta Kaneda. I work as a development member for SkilledDriver.cd at Yahoo Japan. I am glad to receive SkilledDriver's most valuable contributor from the CDF Foundation for my work. Thank you. That was all. Thanks, everyone who won the awards today this year, and thanks for sending their acceptance speeches. This is just a small group of community members we have winning awards, but as you all know, there is a huge number of people, our friends, our community members making our projects move forward, coming up with ideas, fixing issues, helping people to know how they can use our projects, how they can get those projects to do what they want to do. So really I want to thank everyone who is contributing to CDF, whatever they are doing, reviewing PRs, speaking at our events, updating documentation, sending Slack messages or responding Slack messages. As you know, the communities thrive if we see each other, helping each other on whatever we are. So thanks, everyone for contributing to their Foundation, and thanks to all of you for being here, recognizing contributions of our community members. So thanks again. And our program committee, I want to thank their efforts again because this is, I think, one of the last sessions of CDCon and GitOpsCon. Thanks Lurie for changing the program. Committee Adam, I see you here. And Carlos, you are here. Thank you. Garima is not here. Alyssa is not here. But Andrew was around. So thanks to the entire Program Committee for their help crafting this year's program. And thanks to our sponsors Gold, Armory, Obsenex, Harness, Puppet, Autocloth, Fryfly and Prodvana. And please, next event is happening in September. Continuously remaining summit and the CFP is open now. Please submit talks. And then we see each other again in Bilbao. The food is delicious according to some of my friends. And safe travels. Thanks.
