“The Cloud Foundry Summit returns to Basel this year with keynote stage
demos, developer-centric tracks, and the only available in-person Cloud
Foundry developer certification. This event is can’t-miss for anybody
serious about cloud-native technologies,” said Abby Kearns, Executive
Director, Cloud Foundry Foundation. “I’m looking forward to spending
time with our community and hearing from many of our end users. I’d also
like to thank Platinum sponsors Dynatrace, Pivotal, SAP and Swisscom.”
More than 1,000 enterprise developers, architects, engineers and
executives from around the world are expected to attend the Basel
Summit. Attendees will learn Cloud Foundry from those who build it and
use it every day. They will join other developers, end users and CIOs to
gain first-hand access to Cloud Foundry roadmaps, training and
tutorials, and to see how others are using Cloud Foundry to support
continuous innovation and application portability.
Keynotes:
-
Two keynotes this year will underscore the necessity of male allies in
diversity and inclusivity initiatives in the open source and Cloud
Foundry communities. - Steve Greenberg of Resilient Scale — a consultancy focused on building
capabilities through collaboration, training and mentoring — will
propose solutions for improving inclusivity efforts and making our
community welcome to everyone. - Daniel Jones, CTO of EngineerBetter — a consultancy offering Cloud
Foundry, BOSH and Concourse CI services in the UK — will investigate
implicit bias and share methods for how to overcome bias to create an
open and inclusive community. - Abby Kearns, Executive Director of Cloud Foundry Foundation, has spent
nearly 20 years in the technology industry in a career that spans

source software, platforms, and ecosystems play in developing software
at scale. - Florian Müller, Technical Lead Platform Foundation & Services for
SAP Cloud Platform, is a member of the Open Service Broker API PMC and
