 Hello, everyone. It's great to be in Shanghai, China after a few years away. I'm really excited to have, you know, KubeCon back here in Shanghai. We've had a couple thousand of people over the last few days learning about cloud native technologies and reconnecting after a few years away. So we have definitely grown significantly over the years as an organization. CNCF now, you know, globally has 173 projects that are part of our community that continue to grow. We have over 200,000 contributors globally that are contributing code issues, pull requests, and so on representing, you know, 8,000 different organizations and 190 countries worldwide. So things have truly continued to grow since we've last been here in China with KubeCon. If we kind of do a deep dive on, you kind of the China market from a CNC perspective, we have 819 members part of our organization. You know, a little under 10% of them are actually from, you know, China proper. We've had a long history of support from our planet members, Huawei, Alibaba, and Volcano Engine, and we have a great, you know, cast of both silver and gold members that have supported organization. I am very happy today to announce that we do have a new gold member that joined recently. Should pop up, you know, Dow Cloud, you know, has been a great kind of historic supporter of CNCF in terms of code contribution. They are a cloud-native innovator in the China market and has contributed to not only Kubernetes, but a handful of other CNCF projects such as Container D, Kube Edge, Carmada, and so on. So we are grateful for their support in joining CNCF as a gold member. So thank you again. So that's the, you know, typical member, you know, update. If you kind of look at overall contributions, I spent a lot of time looking at developer statistics and everything that kind of goes on in the CNCF community. And if you kind of look holistically, the contributions coming from the China region has consistently grown, you know, every year. It, you know, on average on, you know, the whole, it represents about 9% of total contributions to the CNCF ecosystem. This year, things are pacing pretty good. You'll probably, you know, end up maybe, you know, close to 12% overall. But if you kind of look at the overall market of CNCF contributors, you have US is first, China number two, India number three, and Germany number four. So we definitely appreciate the support of, from all of you who have kind of contributed code and ideas over, over years. We kind of want to continue to invest in the market here. One thing that's been a little bit difficult over the last few years is it's been a little bit challenging to do a physical KubeCon here. But thankfully, we have a fantastic community of folks here on the ground that have been organizing Kubernetes community days. These are essentially our events that are, you know, for the community, by the community that CNCF supports a little bit behind the scenes. We've had events in Chengdu, Beijing, Dalan, Hangzhou. We have an upcoming one again coming up in Hangzhou in October 2013. And someone informed me yesterday that there's another KCD happening in December later this year. So thank you again for doing these. We love this. This is basically one of the ways we can kind of extend CNCF's presence all over the globe. The other thing I would like to thank is we have a great set of ambassadors. We have 15 people in China representing different companies, projects, and organizations, you know, folks like Kevin, who's a co-chair of Fog, and so on. And I haven't had the opportunity to meet everyone here, but I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart of everything you're doing to make it easier for us to, you know, spread cloud native in China. It could definitely be a little bit challenging for me who my Chinese is pretty terrible still after being here enough. So thank you again for all the great work that our ambassadors are doing in China. So projects always near and dear to my heart. We have actually 32 projects that we kind of consider born in China. So they came from a company originated here, and they covered the gamut from things like Harbor, which is kind of a cloud native registry, to Vineyard, you know, to Karmada, Volcano, you know, Dragonfly, which helps scale Canadian. So there's a lot of kind of very interesting innovation and diversity that is happening here. And it's kind of nice to kind of see this continue, you know, to grow. And I think, you know, recently we had Harbor was the first project that graduated in China. Karmada recently came in to incubating. We also have Tai KV is a graduated project, too. So it's just kind of great to kind of see the innovation that's happening in this ecosystem. One thing we like to do for our graduated projects, I remember when the Harbor team first came to CNCF, they're like, well, we want to grow a community here. It was a project based out of VMware China. We truly kind of want to make this, you know, a global thing. And I'm like, well, that's one thing that CNCF is pretty good at. We do have a global community. And so things have worked out very well for the project. It has grown. And we have these project journey reports that basically show the details of who's contributing, how many people, you know, new have come since the project has entered different milestones in CNCF. So I would scan that QR code, take a look at it. It's a great report. You know, there'll be details like, you know, since joining CNCF, Harbor has 437 plus, you know, more companies or organizations contributing. There are now more contributions coming from outside of China to the project, which is great. It's built a global community. And of course, a lot of new individuals contributing to the project. And you know, there's wonderful quotes. I'm not going to go read through, but, you know, you know, Harbor is being used all over the world now in places like CERN, places, you know, in China. I know even OVH Cloud in Europe is offering Harbor as a service. So truly a cool project. So to kind of, you know, wrap things up, you know, I want to have a couple thoughts here. So, you know, I've been coming to China for probably 20 years. And for me, the kind of, you know, innovation you have when you kind of deal with a large, you know, population, innovative, you know, technology, you truly come up with very interesting things. And something I've always appreciated is the desire to kind of share, you know, these ideas with the open source community. There's a couple interesting ones that kind of come to, you know, my mind, you know, obviously, you know, Kubernetes is kind of going through a bit of an evolution and people are, you know, trying to run Kubernetes in cars, in space, and so on. And so I'm always kind of entertained when I come across projects like QBedge, which are kind of really, truly, you know, pushing the limits of what you could do with, you know, Cloud Native in terms of using it as a platform to basically orchestrate satellites and kind of make communication more efficient across kind of these little ant satellites. So, love this type of work and, you know, really encourage folks in the community to kind of continue sharing this. Because if you kind of heard from Jim's keynote, you know, yesterday, you know, we kind of live in very interesting, you know, times, right? The world is going through all sorts of interesting, you know, views of potentially, you know, techno nationalism regarding open source. And to me, you know, I've been doing open source for 25 plus years. And the thing that I've always enjoyed is open source has always been open to everyone, you know, people help each other all over the world, no matter which company, country, or, you know, organization you work with. And, you know, to kind of, you know, iterate from Jim's message yesterday, CNCF, the Linux Foundation, we truly believe open source is a global endeavor. It's something that we continue to push for. I personally, you know, fight for, I also think it's actually the key to the longevity and sustainability of open source projects. I know some of you are maybe familiar with, for your developers in the audience, you know, Linus, who works on the Linux kernel, there's this thing called Linus' law, right? Like, you know, the more, you know, eyes look at something, you know, essentially, you know, bugs become a little bit more shallow. Basically, you know, I kind of have a bit of a corollary to that, where I think the more you have open source maintainers that essentially are diverse contributing from different countries and organizations, the healthier and potentially more sustainable your project will be. And it's something that we truly try to enable and build in CNCF and anytime any of you have, you know, questions on how you could do that or how we could kind of make that easier for your project here, please let us know. It's truly something that I think about personally daily and we at both the CNCF and Linux Foundation want to kind of continue to support. So truly Team Cloud Native, which we kind of all call ourselves, we consider ourselves a global community and, you know, thank you for everyone who's kind of been part of that journey over the last eight years. So the kind of, you know, end things with a bit of a final final ask is, you know, the last few days I've come across a lot of amazing end users, you know, in China from like banks to agricultural retail. We have an annual survey that we put together every year. We would love everyone to fill this out. Tell us how you're using our CNCF projects. What use cases? What's missing? Please fill this out because we truly want more data from the Chinese community and markets. So please do that. We'll obviously share an open source, all the results afterwards. And, you know, thank you again for all the amazing work and kind of kindness. Some of you have shown me over the last few days. So thank you again and enjoy the rest of this conference. We will be back here next year for sure and look forward to kind of sharing details of what we're doing in China market in 2024. So thank you again.
