 Hello everyone, thank you for joining us today. This is a fun room, right and I see so many familiar faces Wow All right, welcome to the commons and joining us out here You know, we're away from the convention center, but thank you for making the track So my name is Karina Angel and I am one of the OpenShift product managers I'm on the product management team and up until now I've been doing a lot of work with IBM cloud packs and With Diane retiring if you haven't heard if you know Diane Mueller. She is retiring Actually, she's online with us right now. So if you're on the the virtual chat Diane is there and she's still around for a couple more weeks but I am taking over and leading and helping shepherd commons And what commons is about it's about all of us, right? It's about coming together. It's about this It is about collaboration across the communities So not just OpenShift not just Cuban Kubernetes not just all the individual CNCF projects but across all of them and working together And this is a place where we can So if you look at your neighbors you go and once you see the speakers You can find each other throughout the conference and downstairs during the breaks and lunch and talk and Compare notes and say this didn't work, but we did this this did work And that's the beauty of collaboration So looking so the graphic on the left a Dan printed out In 2016 and That's where we started And on the right that is today. It has grown exponentially the ecosystem that we're all a part of So finding yourself within this ecosystem is hard And then finding your own place in it is even harder And where are you in the middle of this ecosystem? So We're zooming in and see this is my connection point right here And then you can see this is where I connect in You know, I'm also part of the helm community And so today here's me in the community and today is all about making connections right and How you connect with everybody These are all the speakers that we have today and who here had to program the six degrees of separation If you ever did this in school No, in the US we called it the six degrees of Kevin Bacon Well, what it is it's a it's a graphing program, right and finding your way The easiest path to different connections. So today All the speakers up here. I've specifically curated these are one degree separation from myself or to max and We're gonna change that for all of you too So once you hear the speakers you can go talk to them at lunch You're gonna be one degree away from all the speakers as well and as you're going through the conference, right? This is what it's about making connections making connections that drive continuous innovation So we're gonna go back in time a little bit 2015 is when the first kubecon started and 2016 is when the Linux Foundation took over kubecon now back then we had there were a thousand end users for the first kubecon and I'll just say quickly is that today for this in person. I know not everybody's here That's how registration goes but over 800 people registered to be here in person And if you think about the first kubecon that there were a thousand attendees and Also today we have ten thousand that signed up for kubecon All right now if we go back to open shift commons in 2016 We also had our first open shift commons at the Seattle kubecon We're here to talk about Collaboration across communities today, so you're not going to hear product pitches from us We're not going to try and sell you anything what we're going to try and do is sell you on each other Diane got speakers such as Clayton Coleman in open shift 3 3 we enabled the cloud load balancer We had a lot of the same speakers back then that are still in the community now a core fabric running as we're Shifting to different projects. We have a lot of the same people and the ecosystem and Then fast forward to today We are sold out and this is the agenda. I went back and dug it up. This is the agenda from the first open shift commons so That was that agenda. This is this agenda and we have a packed day. I kind of went a little overzealous and so apologies but we Have a lot of great talks and a lot of key members of the Community we have the micro shift team here and There's as always fun and We also have The key cloak we have one of the key cloak contributors here Alexander where'd you go? There's Alexander so key cloak If you haven't heard has just been donated to the CNCF. It's gone into incubation So we are celebrating that today too If you haven't joined commons, please pull that up on your phone But yes now I'm
