 Okay, we're all set. All right, so Katie, if you want to kick it off. Yeah, hi everyone. I'm Katie green Lee. Libby if you want to go over to the next slide. Just a reminder about today's call. It will be recorded as we just mentioned, you can find the slides in our committee slides folder as well as on the recording on YouTube. Next slide. All right, and just a reminder about the anti-trust policy. Feel free to read that at your leisure, but just abide by the rules. Yeah, I'm running the call because Christie's feeling thick for all of you to see in the Slack channel. So we're in the chat. Today's agenda will have introductions. It's fine. We'll have introductions. We'll go through some action items, community update, and then open discussions. So we're going to run this meeting a little bit different. Great. New year, new introductions. Just a reminder of your team. There's me Katie green Lee senior community engagement and outreach manager. We have Libby Schultz marketing. Programs and then Christie tan director of marketing. We also have Charlie man from contents. We have the manager of marketing. The strategy lead and then Jesse Katie Chad, Trisha and Carl who are our PR and social team. Our newest. Welcome to the team introduction is Lori. She is your marketing committee. Chair and I'm going to kick it over to her to introduce herself. Yes, thank you so much. And thanks to everyone for joining the call. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for a couple of years. And I think everybody was very open and honest with the feedback that they gave at the end of last year in regards to the committee and the call and cube con and all the things. And how we could all kind of work together together better for the CNCF. And for our own companies as well as the projects that we support. So this year I kind of wanted to change things up a little bit. And I think that's a great question. I think that's a great question. And I think that's a great question. And we're going to figure out some topics and ideas that we can all kind of pair off into work groups and work around. I want to create an open dialogue with the projects that we support to find out what they need. You know, they get onboarded and then what, what happens next. So what do they need from us as a marketing committee? How can we support them? Is it template, like creating templates for them to follow. Stuff like that. So the marketing committee is aligned with the 2023 CNCF goals and objectives. And those are currently being worked on. So when they have their goals and objectives, the things that we do should really help push them forward. So they meet their OK ours. I want to create like an open dialogue with all of you so that we're creating opportunities for new initiatives that we're engaging with each other that we're not just sitting here staring at each other's either picture or face. And then Katie is, I would love to work with her more to identify areas in the community that we can collaborate with. And Katie, I'm going to kick it back to you to tell them all the cool stuff that's happening right now. Yeah, great. Thanks, Lori. Libby, if you want to go to the next slide. Well, some community updates. Just a reminder, co-located events, CFP, CFPs for Kubecon, CloudNativeCon Europe 2023 close Sunday, February 12th. The same with ambassador applications that is coming up to close on Sunday, February 26th. If you have questions about the new ambassador program, feel free to reach out to ambassadors support at CNCF.io. We did change requirements and guidelines for this year. So feel free to look those over and send an email with any questions. Additionally, beyond the lookout for CloudNative community groups, our meetups are starting to really come back for 2023. So we encourage all of you to get active in your local groups. If you don't see a group in your community and you want to be an organizer, this is a great time to kind of take that off. So feel free to send in a ticket to service.cncf.io. We also already have 15 KCDs committed for this year in various locations scheduled all the way up till July of 2023. We have four more in the exploratory phase. But if you're interested in either being active in those KCDs, this is a great time to get started. It's a great place for you to hone your speaking skills. So I encourage everyone to apply to those CFPs. And if there isn't a KCD in your local region and you're interested in hosting one, we encourage you to do that as well. And then the last thing to kind of share about is the Share the Love campaign. We want to hear why people love and heart cube con, CloudNative con. We want to know what's your favorite part of the show. And then a 30 to 60 second video of yourself showing us the love tag it with hashtag I heart, CloudNative con, hashtag I heart cube con. Anyone who enters that campaign will be entered to win a CNCF store gift basket. And we'll announce the winner winner on February 28th. Any questions about the community updates? Does anybody on the call currently run a KCD? I know Lisa's here. Yeah, I know Lisa does, yeah. Yeah, I'm involved with the also are. I'm all crane. I run a meet up, but not KCD. I think that's awesome. And I think it would be great like maybe on the next call for you to kind of give us a little insight on what it's like to be running a KCD or a meet up. I think that's something like we can go back and forth on Slack and kind of work that out, but I think it would be good for the committee to know like all the things that you're that you're working on, either with Katie or just within your own community so that we can really work to help share those ideas and initiatives with other, with other groups. And I think it would be great if we could kind of commit like create sort of a working doc or an infographic if people want to start their own. And if that already exists, you know, why are we not promoting it, that kind of thing. So if y'all are interested, I'd love to kind of get that sort of side group working where we can kind of figure some stuff out. So no need to answer right now, but if y'all are interested, I think that would be really cool. That would be awesome to just again just kind of let us know what kind of conversations that you're having so that maybe we can use that and propel it to get other people involved. So that that would be awesome. All right. Does anybody have anything they want to add. Katie actually started a great conversation at least with meetups and she was a great support in the call that we had together and she created a group in the CNCF Slack where we could discuss about, you know, how to help each other inside of the community organization, community organization and meetup organization. And that was pretty cool to have that extended to include and mix together meetups, smaller meetups, but KCDs would be actually really great because we can take a lot from exchanging between each other. Yeah, that's a great call out. Sorry. We did start a Slack channel for organizers of meetups. So if you're organizing a meetup and you haven't received an email from me, you can feel free to message me on Slack K 80 greenly. I'll put it in the chat. I'd be happy to add you to that channel. And I think too along the same lines, like if you had such a great experience, it would be cool to post a blog like lessons learned and I don't mean like, you know, it has to be some crazy, like long blog, but even if it's just some bullet points with some cool graphics, you know what I mean, like with links to things that you have going on, we should really take advantage of that piece of CNCF, like with the blog. And again, I think it's all about taking all of the individual items that are happening. And I apologize guys, I'm at a conference in Sweden. I'm in the speaker's room, just hanging out. That's Excel behind me. She can wave or not. There she is. But I think it's like, instead of being siloed and not sharing information across the board and then not saying that it's being done on purpose. I think that we could really help energize and re-engage with the overall CNCF community if we start having these little tidbits shared across. So Renata, Katie, Annalise, you know, anything, Chris, that you guys want to do, maybe we can, like I said, take it offline, get a little working group together. And even if it's like a series where it's like the top five things I learned and, you know, have one go each week or tweets or something, social LinkedIn. I think these are fun tidbits that are really help the community. All right, cool. Oh, that's exciting. All right, next. Next slide. Let's do this thing. Okay. So I've been talking a lot and I apologize. I don't plan on doing that very often, but I am a talker so, you know, don't quote me. But I really want to have more of an open discussion with the committee. I think, like I said, we've been on this committee for a while and the CNCF is a huge organization and there are lots of things that they'd like to tell us that's happening, you know, with the PR, the AR, the blogs or the white papers or this, the that, the other. And then before you know it, the call is over and we haven't like come up with anything yet to do. And so I think that's the fact that we send the slides. And I love that Katie sends the slides early. I think that's a chance for us to catch up on all of like the business side of things. But when we're on the call together, I think this is where we should focus on the community side of things and working to push initiatives forward. So we're just going to have a little poll here. And I believe that Libby is going to run the poll. Or Katie, one of the two that we just went through who's going to do it. And I can't remember. I'm sorry. Okay. I'll hit it. All right, let's do that. Hit it. Okay. So the first question versus all the questions are rolling at once. So that's great. So if y'all just wouldn't mind taking a second to answer these very short questions, this is going to help shape the committee at least for this year kind of moving forward. I don't know. Does everybody have to answer for the poll to be closed? I end it whenever you're ready. So we'll just give everybody some time and then let me know. When you think we should shut it down. Okay. Is everybody. Good. And I know it only allowed you to circle one answer and that's okay. It's just kind of like a. Pick your favorite. And then we can kind of move stuff forward. Yeah. Looks like numbers are still moving just a little. So maybe one more minute, y'all. And then we'll, we'll close it out. Cool. 66% participation. Let's get that number up. I feel like we should have some like, like real fortune music or jeopardy. Right. Just kind of hum. Yeah. Come on, y'all. Seven of you left. Let's do those. Let's do it. It's like a telephone. I know. You want to go ahead and wrap it up. Okay. More chance. Last call. All right. We get the results. Excellent. Okay. So this is cool. Okay. So we're going to go ahead and. The content marketing to be. The most useful on these calls. And. Most of you want to work in a subgroup. That's super awesome. And events and community outreach kind of split in terms of topics that interest y'all. This is great. So I think, you know, this is good to know. And Liam, if you want to go ahead and. Yeah. I think we'll have some discussion around it. Yeah, absolutely. I'm, I wanted to say that I'm really open to exploring different ways to run and engage to this community meeting. But I wanted to add that over the last, you know, 18 to 24 months. I have loved the way this meeting is run. And this has become one of the, like, you know, cannot miss meetings for me personally. And I think that I've really discovered so many of the great initiatives that are going on across the CNCF. I consider myself a pretty engaged and informed and experienced open source person, but there are so many things that happen in the CNCF from white papers to KCDs to events to blog posts to online training. And it's like, feels like it's almost never ending. I really have loved the way the meeting is run. I like I'm already feeling like I need to, the decks are amazing. So I feel like I can, you know, do a, do my own journey through the deck with my team. But I didn't want, I wanted to make sure I had said that. And that feedback was given that I'm really open to trying stuff. And I've also loved what we've been doing here along the way. I appreciate that. I didn't mean to negate all the work that everyone and the other people have been doing to push these forward. So I apologies if it came off. Ters. No, I didn't take it that way at all. I just wanted to make sure just that that. Again, I'm really open to exploring different ways to engage. I think that the power of the CNCF and the power of open sources always, you know, founded in the diverse ideas and use cases and point of views that we bring. So I think that there's probably new levels of amazing we can move. But I certainly don't want to lose the tactical value of the, like out of the 1000 things that are happening in the CNCF this month here at the top 20 that you should consider thinking about this month, you know, from an engagement point of view, which is for me, what this meeting has really been like, I clip screens, take slides, and they literally get put on people's to do lists, you know, from that, from this meeting that's just me personally in the way that we engage with our team. That's a great feedback. So I think, I think that's good to know. And moving forward, you know, if you feel like you're missing stuff, because we've focused more on a different piece, then we can definitely bring that back in. And again, having the slides, like you said that you can walk through, but if there's like something that you really wanted to have more in depth discussion on, I think that's kind of what the open discussion area should be. Right. It should be like, Hey, on this side, you were talking about the PR, like leads that came out, like, what does that mean for us? What does that mean for our company? And that's the kind of stuff that I think is going to really bring us more together. Right. Because things that might, you might find interesting and have an open discussion with your team, but we're missing out on your insights because we don't know what your, what your view that'll help spark other people. So, and I think that's awesome. So if you don't mind going back, Libby, to the slide that has the marketing folder on there. And I know that I had to request access to, to access the folder with all the slides so that you could see. So once, so they're in the deck. It's one of the slides in the deck that has like the links to the recordings and the links to the marketing folder. And then once you get in there, you see all of the previous meeting minutes and stuff. And Chris, if you don't mind just kind of saying what you typed, it's just kind of hard to. Yeah, yeah, sure. Sorry. I definitely gave it gave a wall of tech. So, you know, you know, traditionally this call has been very kind of, it's called one directional where we're seeing. It just gives a bunch of, you know, updates. So folks, you know, like Liam could divvy up work to a bunch of other folks on his team, which is great. I think that's, we're fairly successful at one thing, you know, you know, look at all these amazing folks on the call, you know, you have a wide variety of different skills, great networks, a set of customers and something we always look for in CNCF is, you know, new interesting case studies and, you know, so on, you have great set of customers here. If there's any way we kind of like come up with initiatives that we kind of get more work across not only the foundation giving you information, but also stuff coming from all y'all's, you know, and to kind of help us produce content or certain initiatives. I kind of like the left the Steve more of that kind of back and forth. And this call is not the best call to necessarily always do this type of thing. So those are kind of my thoughts here. Chris, to your point, I think it would be helpful if we could maybe have some people that have gone through like the case study process or like the items that you identified that you want more of to help make it easier. Like, because I know when somebody asked my team for a white paper, everybody kind of looks the other way because you know how much work is involved. So again, I think that's something that we can help if we can like work together, you know, have those people get on a call with us and just say, Hey, this is how we did it. This is a template and then move that forward. I think we'll probably get more content. We can get more content out of us to bring to the community. And ideally, like if we produce something that could also be reused by other folks on the call here, right? If you're creating a paper or maybe a case study, maybe you could leverage part of it. I think there's something we could do that kind of benefits all of us, not just one organization here. Yeah. I'd also like to add to that too, Chris. Go ahead. We're a small shop. And joining the CNCF right before Kool-Kan was a little bit nuts. So there's a lot of information where we're like, you know, on the outside, before you join the CNCF, you're just looking at it from an engineering standpoint and looking at the projects. Actually, you know, in and now, I'm like, okay, so where do we, what, what, there's so much value here, you know, for the money that we, we scrounge together to join. What is going to be the biggest thing for our bucket where can we be of best value, you know, to get back to the community? So I actually like this format better because like, here's a fire hose, all the things we're doing. All right, I'll see you all next month. Heck, I'm not supposed to do with that. So it's just so much there. But no, that would definitely be helpful to, you know, hear how other people have used it. So thank you for that. Awesome. I think that that's a good point. I think definitely there's different personas, you know, here on this call where you're younger startups or smaller companies. And then you have folks that have, you know, massive, you know, billion dollar, you know, style of company. So I think there's different, different needs for, for different folks. And maybe we could do a better job of steering books like yourself into, you know, areas of resources that could kind of benefit you. But awesome. Thanks. Thanks for the feedback. So Rudy, like that made me think about maybe having themes to these calls, right? And kind of working through, so maybe one day we have like a vendor theme call where we present how to do a case study, how to do a white paper and how to do something else with the NCF and get like people that have been successful to kind of walk through those things and then work on to Chris's point, like maybe some templates that we can then share, you know, to the broader community. And I think, you know, even having intake forms, like a Google form or something where it's like very cut and dry and you can submit it. And then you're like, okay, this is what the readout looks like. Now, how do we take it and move it forward? I think that would be great. And one of the things I don't think we talk about enough. And I would love to get your everyone's feedback or the projects that are actually within the NCF. I think that would be great. I mean, there's a hundred and 30. 150 for I think now. So, yeah. See, so that's, that's a lot. And I think it would be a hundred people. Yeah, I think it would be great to hear, you know, from some of the different projects, like where they feel the value, like from the ones that are just getting incubated, the ones that have just graduated and finding their journey across. And then how do we help take that and share it with the community and move that forward? Yeah, absolutely. Go for it. Whoever hands up. Yes. This is Liam again. Would it make sense? I mean, we talk about collaborative ideas coming out of this meeting. Maybe for folks to try doing mentorship or, or when we talked about subgroups, maybe there could be a like, you know, you know, maybe for new members in your first year, you could have asked for 12 volunteers to say, here's how I engage in the CNCF and where we get value out of it. For the folks that have been, you know, in the ecosystem for a few years. And in my case now, through multiple companies, you know, I've engaged serially with the CNCF through multiple projects, something like that may be a great subgroup to kick off and would give an opportunity for the deep dives to happen in a different way. So I think it's a great idea to share that content is more interesting folks. I love it. And you had an idea about a buddy program. You want to share. Yeah, just. For context, I'm a CNCF person as well. So I'm just, just reflecting back what I thought was a great idea. That's. And I think that's a great idea. And you know, used to the CNCF and this forum. It's probably a good idea to, to hear from other people who've been able to leverage their engagement and, and be effective through this, this committee and the various marketing initiatives to hear from them is probably better than hearing from, from, from CNCF staff, right? So that kind of. Those kind of case studies, I think will be pretty important for folks. And mentoring. Yeah, love it. I was trying out that I'm tech contributor strategy. We have a bunch of, I mean, the mentoring program and tag contributor strategies oriented that code contributors, non-code contributors rather than people joining the CNCF, but we have a lot of resources around mentoring generally there that could probably be repurposed into that kind of program. That sounds great. Okay. So far we already have a, like, meet up KCD kind of combo working group. And now we're looking at like a buddy program mentorship for not just select for members and for projects and things like that as the potential initiatives and ideas for future meetings. I'm sorry it's a little loud in here. Everyone's done for the day. What other ideas like this is, this is the stuff that I think it's such a vibe. Like does anybody else have something that like who's been in the CNCF for a long time that's like, wait, when we did it like this, it was super cool. Or I would love if we can do that. I would love to hear from anybody else. I'll just try to release. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. No, I was just saying, I was, I know the Kubernetes release cycle they have, but they're for mentorship program where, you know, you have shadow people who, you know, watch over that before release. Joining, I didn't know the marketing meeting and everything we do is just this involved, again, coming from the engineering side. So when you get here, this is definitely needed to kind of break it down. So you can find out where can you get plugged in. So that way the benefit goes both ways. And you're not just kind of like, again, drinking from the viral. So I like that. Yeah, go for it. Yeah, I put in that my subgroup interests to be project and we have two projects, one at the incubating level and one on the sandbox level. And I kind of raised the idea this year of like, hey, are we going to put a focus on getting that one from sandbox incubating and got the response like, another value in that. And that, that's problematic to me because I largely in the, I'm in the devil role now, but I'm already in there because I'm really excited and enthusiastic about moving things up the ladder. So, so one of my challenges this year is to really show the value that moving up the ladder that, you know, like being involved in this community brings. And I'm not totally sure how to do that at the moment. So that, that was just my, so that is my specific reasoning drive behind. I'd be excited around a project marketing subgroup. I think this is a great idea. I feel like that's the whole point of having a project. Right. If you try and make it succeed. So, so again, okay, great. I have another idea for a working group and a subgroup and, you know, I would totally lean on the NCF to hook us up with the graduated project and a list of incubating projects again, like sort of that buddy system going through, but also creating templates and working guides to help people move things forward in marketing, you know, and in tech they always say like, you know, developers don't like marketing and it's not true. They need help marketing because how else are going to have a project succeed if you don't tell people what's going on. So, okay, cool. Who's next? Chris, your hand is up. Yeah, for sure. So one thing that was really helpful to me back when Caitlin Barnard was the, the chair, and this is going off of the mentoring concept and is in person mentoring. I know this was shared a little bit in the chat, but just voicing it as a voice on this call. And I think that's a really important thing. I think that's a really important thing. Physical mentorship where you can sit down with somebody at an event is honestly really important. It made a huge, huge impact for me. I don't know what the budget is and I don't know what that means, but I think that's something that maybe we could put something together to propose. I think that's a really important thing. Because with travel budgets and things like that getting cut, maybe like, you know, meetups in person at cube con is sounds amazing, but it's Amsterdam or Chicago and things like that. But Chris, if that's something that you kind of want to help work on again, as like sort of like a side thing with the ambassador or with the mentorship idea is putting in that piece as like a line item of getting people in the same room, I think that's great. Who's next? I'll try to stop over sharing here, but I would just add, if we're thinking about, you know, subgroups here, I think it's worth keeping in mind that I think we really have three different personas represented here. There's projects and project marketing, you know, I've built something. I've got a company behind it that's working on building a community and monetizing it. And I think that is, you know, like the traditional companies that want to come in as customers think like major financial institutions. And from their perspective, they'd be more, you know, this is DevRel. This is Ospo. And then even a third persona that's maybe, you know, interested, interested party or platform provider or something along those lines. So I wouldn't want to leave out some of the other personas that I know that there are huge initiatives around, like the Ospo work and sharing best practices for those companies. But there is certainly an interrelation, you know, Venn diagram here of things that are union to us all and things that are more project versus Ospo side. So it may just be the bang as you think about rolling some of these things out or scheduling some of these subgroups may want to think about multiple meeting series here to help onboard the different personas and help them be successful. Yeah, for sure. I think a great call out Liam and we're kind of furiously taking notes here. So between Christy and Katie and myself will and the rest of the team will, will follow up. And at least your name has been brought up quite a few times. I'd be interested in your ideas and feedback thus far. Are you talking with me? Sorry. I didn't hear you well. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Are you addressing to me? I was. Sorry. I prefer to listen to what people, new people are saying. I see many new people this meeting. So it's very nice, very engaging. I don't have much to say tonight. I would say that there's a lot already ongoing. Many guidelines are already there about the block pass about how to do things with the science. Yeah. So probably it's just a question of voicing them in specific meetings because it makes it easier probably to to people. It's a mix the onboarding to this group easier. I have no idea. Sorry, I didn't mean to call you out. Anyone else want to say something? Anyone else have an idea of some initiatives? And I think these are all great, you know, and then we can sort of after the call work to diagnose like what the main themes were obviously mentorship was one of them and this buddy system idea, which is super cool. But I think the more we can kind of just fit out now, we can kind of figure out what we want to do. We can kind of figure out what we want to do next year and figure out like different items in different buckets. We can try to tackle. So we'd love to hear from someone who hasn't said anything yet. Anyone. Anyone. Okay, cool. So if nobody else has sort of any idea that they want to share it now, that's totally fine. We do have the rest of the slides to go through. So I think we can start over with the rest of the, of the slides. Great. With membership growth. New members this month, we had a lot of new silver members joined this month. So welcome to all those new members. More and more silver members for everyone to be aware of. And then a CNCF member acquisitions for this month. We have a lot of new companies acquiring other companies. So it's great to see that growth within the community. PR and AR, I believe. Jesse or Katie, are you on the call to jump in? Yeah. Sorry, my video is not loading, but there we go. Yeah. So I won't take up too much time, but we did release a really nice contributor survey. If you haven't had a chance to look at it, I'm sure you'll be able to see it. But I think the results are actually really interesting. We worked really closely with the contributor strategy. Tag to both design and the survey and the report. Yeah. So if you have a few minutes, I'd definitely go and give that a read. And then I will go ahead and hand it over to Carl from our ART. They have a really nice report to share with everyone. Cool. Thanks, Katie. Hi, everyone. My name is Carl. I'm the CNCF analyst relations team along with Patricia and Abakai. We're excited to announce that this year's analyst coverage report for 2022 is live. Over the past year, the CNCF analyst program has expanded and the CNCF has hosted 148 analysts from 35 firms at QCon. This annual report looks into analysts covering the cloud native technologies and themes. You can use this information to support your marketing programs. The report provides you with the landscape of the landscape view of the analyst community and who you can approach for analyst engagements to partner to support your marketing content and demand generation programs. Inside the report, you'll find key trends coming out of the cloud native community, a list of top analysts in the industry, metrics on CNCF related search terms, and highlights from this year's analyst quotes and coverage, and even more. So I strongly suggest you click down into that and spend some time working with it. If you want to hop to the next slide for me. Thank you. Here's an example of one of the slides in the report based on our methodology of keyword tracking. These are the top analysts covering CNCF project landscape for 2022. Over 60% of the analysts on this list attended QCon last year. It's a great metrics that I'm really excited to share with y'all. Cool. Thanks. Here are some of the 2022 highlights from the community. We've seen research topic trends developing to cover an increased adoption of container containerized applications and production instituting a DevOps culture to support scalability is also really big. The importance of Kubernetes skills development is trending. Business cases on cloud native investments with a solid ROI are always fantastic and security throughout the open source supply chain is also really big right now. Thanks. And importantly, we're seeing research looking into how vendors are transforming their offerings to move from supporting technology disruption to how their offerings are addressing disruption around higher level business items, as well as compliance, societal and environmental issues. I'll let y'all click down into these links as you see fit. As a reminder, some of these links are behind a paywall, just the nature of analyst research, but we have pulled out a few that are in the public domain as well for y'all. Thanks. Here's some highlights from coverage coming out from this year, so January. For those of you who are looking to align your marketing efforts for 2023 with analyst strategy and analyst research, their research agenda for the upcoming year will be coming out in the next few weeks. So keep an eye out for those. If you have a subscription, you can talk to your account rep and they can hook you up with some of that. So some of them are in the public domain as well. And last but not least, here's some of the highlights, some more highlights. We've had several analysts join us for our first ever cloud native security con last week in Seattle, Melinda Marks, for example, attended as an analyst for ESG. ESG is owned by TechDarget, so she's also a regular contributor to TechDarget. So here's one of her quotes. We'll also be highlighting some other reports coming out for dark breeding and TechDarget once they publish over the next month or so. So keep an eye out for that on the next call. As always, Trisha and I are a resource. So if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us on Slack or email. We're always here to help out. So yeah, just let us know. Thank you so much. Thank you PR team. I would like to hand this over to Charlie Mann now to talk about content marketing. Lee, thanks, Katie. Can you click to the next one? Perfect. So actually I will hand this to Libby. He runs our online programs. All right. You're welcome. Okay, I will keep it brief since y'all have seen this many times probably we had about a half month of online programs this month just getting started into the new year. So that included two live streams for on-demand webinars and two live webinars. We're tracking ahead of last year already in terms of bookings. So if you haven't booked your online programs for Q1, get in there and do so now. We are now tracking live views on LinkedIn as well as YouTube live. So we're seeing our average viewership go up. This month it's been 79.5. So that's tracking really well for the live views and the live streams. So just a little different metric for you to see in 2023. And we're still getting great response to all of your awesome content in views post-event. So keep using those member benefits. And if you have any questions about them, feel free to reach out to me at any time. I go to the next one. That's also me for Cube Weekly. We have welcomed our new group of Cube Weekly editors who are doing an excellent job of curating new content for you all. So keep sending it over to us Cube Weekly at cncf.io. You're going to notice some, we've got plenty of content coming through. So we've got some really robust newsletters coming out. And once again, those come out on Fridays. So reminder to keep sending us your tweets, articles, announcements, all that good stuff so that we can have them review and put it into the newsletter. And now I will hand it over to Charlie. Charlie, thanks, Libby. So yeah, I know we've been talking a little bit about case studies on this call. We do have one that we published on the 10th of January from Queer Shoe Technology. This was really cool. They're using Kubernetes and Dragonfly to basically ensure they've got a more stable and efficient image distribution for more than a billion monthly users. This was a really cool one to receive and to work on. You can very easily submit case studies to us if you just go to our GitHub link, which is on this slide. It makes it super easy. You just kind of have to format them in the way for our website and we will do the rest for you. Also just want to point out that with end user case studies, you don't have to be a member of the cncf to take advantage for this. You just need to make sure that the case study focuses on somebody who is using projects and technology that are within the cloud native computing foundation. So for example, they're using Kubernetes, perhaps they're using Celium, perhaps they're using Argo. That's all that we look for. And also, if you have a great story sort of internally that you've been working on, maybe you've already published it. We're also happy to repurpose and republish on our website to help you amplify what you've already got. So please keep us in mind and you can reach out to me as well at any time on email or on Slack to ask any studies you have about any studies, any questions you have about case studies. It's late in Germany. Can we go to the next slide please? Perfect. And as always, we have our metrics available. So when you submit content to us, which is put up on the website, you have access to see how it's performing. So we have metrics for blogs and we also have metrics for all of these studies. So you just click on this link, which is highlighted in pink on this slide. And that will take you straight there to this rather nice analytics table that we've got set up for you. Hey, Charlie. I was wondering if you could take this a step forward and maybe in the last year, let us know like what were the trends in the top blogs? Like were they technical, were they community based or things like that? And how did you find that out for you? And have that ready for our next marketing committee meeting anecdotally technical blogs, technical blogs, which explain to developers, to engineers how to do something perform the absolute best. To me, that's something that we should bring up when we talk about mentoring to projects is like getting them more awareness, letting them know if they post a technical blog for us and we post it for them, that'll get them more views or at least that's what the community wants. So I think that's great. So yeah, any insights you can do on that sort of on like the trends so that we can push that through. Awesome. And I think if we go to the next slide, that is me, but I will hand back to you, Katie. Great. Thanks, Charlie. These are all just detailed slides about what I gave a recap on earlier. So the ambassador 2.0 program, like I said, closes February 26. If you're interested in applying or you know someone who's interested in applying, just send them a reminder, requirements and guidelines have changed. Any questions, feel free to reach out to ambassador dash support at cncf.io. As I talked about prior to this, cloud native community groups are coming back. There are some upcoming meetups that may be in your area, may not be. If you don't see one in your area, we would love to have you host one. If you are in any of these areas, we highly encourage you to check them out. They have some great things. Feel free to click on the link and learn more. And then if you didn't see an area that you want to, and you want to host a meetup and you want to be an organizer, here's some information about how to go ahead and do that. Along with some what's news for organizers this year, we have one-on-one organizer outreach with chapter goals as well as up leveling your Beverly skills with our monthly office hours with our CSM. We just had one yesterday. It was super well received. So we're going to be able to talk about the Beverly program and learn, or Beverly platform and learn more. Additionally, we'll do promotional support from the CNCF via social media channels as well as Cube Weekly. And on these calls, $100 CNCF store voucher for hosting two community events in 2023 on Beverly within three months of each other. And then as we're not, we're not brought up earlier. So we're going to be able to talk about that in a little bit more detail as well. And then the other chapter organizers has been super successful as well. Cuban Nutties community days. 15 KCDs in progress for an exploratory stages. Here's some upcoming CFP deadlines. KCD Ukraine is closing February 10th. KCD Italy closes February 20th. And then some upcoming KCDs that might be in your region to KCD Netherlands, KCD France, and then KCD Ukraine. As part of our organizer. Benefits for KCD program, we have an interest group. We will have our next upcoming. Call with our organizers on February 14th. If you're interested in joining, we'll be talking about signage best practices. And on two events, I'll kick it over to Lindsay. Hey, everyone. So we're going to go through. Our event updates. Some of these slides are very text heavy. So I'll give a high level overview. And there'll be some information you can go back. And review if you have not already. So as we all know, keep on funding of con Europe is coming up. Make sure you register standard registration closes a week from today. The schedule will be announced today. And we can head on to the next slide. So high level updates. Some of these are already aware of, but just reminding everyone of the health and safety. Updates that we have there. And then underscoring the updates we're making to the overall. Con cloud native con structure. It is being reduced from a five day event to a four day event, which means that our CNC have hosted co-located events will now be on a single day. Prior to cube con and cloud native con. And we also have the updated registration options. So if you can hop to the next. Slide. Oh, okay. Just a few things of what's new in Amsterdam. We know that, of course, the floor plan and layout traffic flow to the sponsor showcases definitely on the top of everyone's list. So we wanted to share some initial things that we are planning on to ensure that more folks are matriculating through the sponsor showcase. I mean, go to the next slide. I'm sorry, I was looking at the chat and seeing if it was anything to answer quick. And then just again, going over the overall updated structure, specifically for Europe, this will be. The pattern shift. We will have colos on Tuesday and then Wednesday through Friday, we're still going, we'll have keep con and cloud native con. Overall, though, the goal is for the shift to be. Colos on Monday and then a Tuesday through Thursday, keep con and cloud native con. So you'll see that pattern coming up for Chicago. And then as I was mentioning the updated registration options, we do have the all access in person pass that now includes full access to keep con cloud native con, but then also gives you access to every single CNC have hosted co located event on Tuesday, which we're going to have nine different collocated events that day. We'll be able to go throughout the space, go to the topics and sessions that they'd like to go to. They won't have to stay at one collocated event all day if they don't want to do that. And I think the big thing I do want to share is without all access past people are very excited about it. It is very popular. So we just wanted to let everyone know on this call and we'll also be sharing with the broader community. So we're going to have a limited capacity on that Tuesday. And we are pacing quickly to towards a sell out. For that option in that pass. So if you or your teams haven't already gotten your all access passes, we recommend you to do so. As soon as possible. It will be a first come, first serve registration process until we get to that capacity. All right, we can keep on moving. So the next two slides here are the nine different collocated events. Reminder the CFP for collocated events. The deadline is coming up very soon in about four days. So please submit. If you want to be concerned for one of these collocated events or you have teammates, that would be a great fit. And then we can go to the next one. And then we also will have the CFP for collocated events. And then we also will have. Right after cube con CD con and get ops con. So just wanted to make sure everyone's aware of that event. The deadline to submit a talk. Similar to Colos is coming up very quickly. We still have sponsorships available. And the early bird pricing for registration ends on March 19. And I think our final slide for events. And then we also will have the CFP for the CFP for. For cube con cloud native con North America. So those are our high level details. For sponsored deadlines. When registration and hotel accommodations will be shared. And then similar to how we had the CNCF hosted. Collocated event. Proposal process for Europe. That process is open now for North America. We'll be able to do that by Monday, May 15th. So folks will have time not only before. You con Europe. And after you con Europe to submit a proposal for a collocated event. If that is of interest. And I think that's everything. And I talked really fast because I want to get us through, but in the chat, please let me know if you have any questions. I'll reach out to me on slack. Thank you. What exciting changes that are coming for our cube con cloud native security con. I think we'll be able to do that. So I think that's a big advantage of those. Sorry, Katie, before you move on, I knew that Chris and some of the others on the call kind of wanted to discuss cloud native security con. Maybe we could have an off, off meeting. Like, something out and whoever is interested in having that discussion. So we'll push something through the marketing channel. And people can invite their teams. And we can just do that. If you're cool with that instead of doing it when we have five teams, we can do that. And we can do that. So I think that works too. Great. Sorry, Katie. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. Training and certification. Great. So just some quick high level. Notes about training enrollments intro to Kubernetes. 305,000 intro to serverless 10,800. You can see kind of the stats that have gone up. This is really great. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that our updated periodically. So I encourage you to check these out. Next one. Some high level certification update CK. We had about. 118,950 exam registration. So we're, we were up from last month, which is huge. We announced the release of the first edition of CK February of 2020. So that's in a little bit different from what we're seeing in CK. That's in the first edition of CK. acuba Stories V one. Two six. As of December 19th, the exam updates are planned to follow Kuber neti's release in cadence three times per year. We now have a Chinese speaking proctor. And then the CK curriculum is published on this link. So we encourage everyone to check that out. Digital badging is available for this exam. And then just additional updates about certification updates for certified Kubernetes security specialists since we're getting close to time. I'll just let you all check this out at your leisure. You wanna skip on, yep. The same with this one. Going through all certifications. Awesome stuff there. Thank you, everyone. We would love to hear more about any ideas that you have as Lori has brought up and Taban posted in the channel for the email as well as posting it on the marketing channel Slack. Lori, I'll kick it over to you to kind of close us out. Thanks. And thanks to everybody that attended today. I know this was kind of a crazy call but I think that's what makes this great. That's an awesome community to be a part of. So based on what we talked about, there's some ideas for some working groups regarding mentorship and sort of a buddy system, not only with people on this committee, but with projects, some ideas on creating some templates, also working together to get some more meetups and Casey days, yeah, Casey, yeah, I got that right. Working in other organizations and other parts of the country and slash world. So let's everybody just make sure you're on the marketing channel and the Slack. And then I think there's also a mailing list. If you haven't received access to the marketing folder, I know that everybody on this call, hopefully we'll get access so that you can see the meeting notes and all of that good stuff, recording will be online and feel free to Slack me if there's anything that you wanna talk about offline and if not, like we'll just communicate that way. If that's cool with all y'all, have a good rest of your day. Thanks so much y'all. Thank you. Bye. Thanks everyone. Have a good evening. Ciao. Thanks everyone.
