 Hi everyone. Thank you so much for attending this FGO. I think it's a little different than the usual one because we're doing this as an update as well as an EMA. I'm going to start presenting just a second. I'm assuming people can see my screen and everything. Okay. I'm in full screen mode, so let me know if there's any problem here because I can't see anything, but presenting part. So I'm going to go through this and then maybe after I'm done with my slides, then I'll look at all the chat questions, if that's all right. Cool. Well, so this is a cloud-related alliances update, an EMA. So one of the main reasons to do this is I want to introduce myself. So I'm Priyanka and I'm going to be a director of alliances focused on cloud-native. I'll tell you a little bit about myself. So I have a background in observability for the last two years. I was working on distributed tracing particularly. So there's this project in CNCF called Open Tracing and I was on the founding team for that. Open tracing is an API spec to help you instrument your software system so that you can pull tracing data out. And we were the third project to join CNCF, so that helped really build a close relationship with the cloud-native folks and as a result, I've done a bunch of work with them. I'm planning a conference with them just before KubeCon, et cetera. Another part of my background is startups. That's actually how I came in contact with GitLab over, I think, three and a half, four years ago. I was doing my own DevTool company, which was a time tracking application, and we applied to my combinator and we had an interview. Someone connected us to SID as a great person to learn from for the interviews and that time I think GitLab was like 10 people. And since then, I kept in touch with SID and the company did some small advisory work last year. And finally, the time was right this year to join. I'm about two weeks into my job right now and it's awesome. So really quickly, my role at GitLab is a hybrid role in some ways. So I am doing alliances and I'm going to focus on the cloud-native ones, which think of it as the Kubernetes ecosystem. In addition to that, I'm also responsible to help uplift the technology brand or rather, I shouldn't say uplift, rather, uncover the technology brand for GitLab in the Kubernetes ecosystem. So the projects that I have going right now. The day I joined GitLab, my first minute on the job was a meeting in person at a potential partner's office, which was definitely intense, but went quite well. So I'm working with Google folks to partner for Cloud Next, their event that's next week. We're primarily in contact with cloud build folks, which has been like an opportunistic thing we're doing because they are very excited to include us in their demos and things like that. As we go forward, we want this to shift focus towards serverless. Then the other thing I'm working on is OpenFaz, which is just to help build out serverless support in GitLab. We just had a few calls with them and we're going to be hiring an engineer to focus on this, which is really exciting. On the CNCF front, which is Cloud Native Computing Foundation, just in case, I've got some meetings going at Google Next to start leveraging their leaders and their reach for GitLab. It's very open-ended and we'll see what we get out of it. So as I mentioned, thought leadership and technology brand was part of my responsibilities at GitLab. So I'm actually right now at Ascon, which is the big open-source convention in Portland. And yesterday I gave two talks on observability. I've linked to my talks here. It's been intense because both these talks are actually new talks. So I speak often and I have spoken at countless places over the last two years. But usually it's a talk that I've given before and that I'm extended. This time it's a new repertoire that I started and I was collaborating with new people. So both talks were high stakes, definitely very stressful, but it seems like the audience enjoyed them so I'm really happy. I've included links in here so you folks can see the presentations if you like. I also did a blog post which some of you saw and I got a lot of positive feedback on from both inside GitLab and outside about why I'm joining the company. Today, sorry, time is a blur. Today I am speaking on a podcast called ChangeLog. They invited me to talk because I guess because I was here at Ascon. It's very open-ended so I think I'm going to be focusing on a little bit about observability and also about kind of the topic of the blog post which is why I'm joining GitLab and the potential and existing success of the company. So the things that are coming up soon at Google Next will be part of a talk on CICD for hybrid and on-prem folks. And there will be GitLab demos in that. I can send out the exact timing if people are interested afterwards. We want to, as I said, start focusing attention on the serverless efforts so that's what we'll be trying to navigate to. I also saw there's a Cloud Native Day by Redpoint Ventures so I'm going to be attending that. That's a good place to meet potential partners, customers or even press an analyst. If anyone is around, this isn't going to be Monday next week so if anyone's around and is client-facing or just generally interested in the Cloud Native Space, you're welcome to come with me because they said I could bring a colleague. CFPs are another big thing that I need to look at. So the KubeCon Seattle, I think it's Seattle. The KubeCon Seattle CFPs are open for, I think, two more weeks. I'm preparing my submissions for that. This is something I think it will be really helpful if folks who have a really great story to tell with their customers, particularly around Kubernetes from EPS, or if there are technical challenges and successes in our own work related to the cloud migration, it would be really helpful. I think they love hearing stories which are not product pitches but rather workflow stories, technology stories, or end users succeeding. That kind of stuff. So I would love to collaborate with anybody who has ideas. We can definitely help you polish up the submission. Also can help you with speaking and we can also co-present if you feel more comfortable that way. So please reach out. This one can be great. Just a quick note on some numbers I collected for the blog post. I had a pretty decent engagement on Twitter for it. This was completely unpromoted in terms of, in a sense, it was all organic. So I had about 26,000 impressions on Twitter and over a thousand engagement on each platform, Medium, Twitter, and LinkedIn. So as I mentioned, I'm at Oskon and it's been a great conference for me. I've been trying to make it a point to meet people about GitLab and learn their opinions and uses of the product. So on the left side you see Kelsey Hightower. Some of you may know him, but he has been the lead evangelist for Kubernetes and he's really put it on the map. He was the chair for Oskon and KubeCon for the last two years. I would say he's Kubernetes famous and he took a great interest in talking about GitLab and how he sees the story. And that was really useful because this is a guy who really knows how to tell the right narrative that is interesting, human, and also sales. I met the NSA. So this is someone from the NSA who was at a workshop I was conducting and they love GitLab and I'm going to be trying to maybe record some testimonials or something with them today. I spent some time with Topo Paul from Capital One. He mentioned just how excited they are about trying out our CI product. He gave me a good set of thoughts on how he thinks of us in industry, where he thinks our managers are really useful for me as I'm bringing myself up to speed to what our customers love and need. I spoke to a few other folks, quite a few other folks that I didn't take a selfie with everyone. AT&T, Delfix, Salesforce, etc. So I've gotten contacted from a bunch of folks and today that all my talks are done, I believe I'll be doing more of that because I'll be less stressed out working on my presentations. Just added some snippets here because people seem to enjoy my talks and it's a good feedback loop, not trying to not trying to toot my horn just seeing that it seems to be working.
