It's A Wrap! The first ever Virtual OpenShift Commons Gathering on Community Development took place virtually on June 15th with 800+ Participants and 20+ Guest Speakers. This Virtual OpenShift Commons Gathering was held on June 15th with a focus on community development and best practices for driving community engagement and measuring community health.
THIS OPENSHIFT COMMONS GATHERING ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FEATURED TALKS BY COMMUNITY LEADS FROM ACROSS THE CLOUD NATIVE ECOSYSTEM AND MUCH MORE!
The OpenShift Commons Gathering on Community Development brought together over 800 Kubernetes and Cloud Native users, partners, customers, contributors and upstream project leads. The OpenShift Commons Gathering showcased community development experts from across the cloud native ecosystem who shared their best practices and lessons learned building engaged and healthy open source communities that underpin the Cloud Natice ecosystem.

Co-hosted with Bitergia’s Daniel Izquiredo, and we had the honor of moderating talks and AMA live chat panels with 24 of the leading open source cloud native community developers from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, OpenStack Foundation, FOSSASIA, Open Source Intiative, CHAOSS project and DevRel community organizers from Weaveworks, Dynatrace, Red Hat, Microsoft, Packet and Google. We explored ideas on building foundations for future collaborations across open source ecosystems and shared lessons learned.
