The Cloud Foundry Foundation,
home to open source projects simplifying the cloud native developer experience
on Kubernetes, today announced the schedule for its annual Cloud
Foundry Summit Europe, which will be held online from Wednesday, October 21
through Thursday, October 22, 2020. Platinum sponsorship comes from IBM, SAP,
SUSE, and VMware.
The 2020 European Summit will deliver a fast-paced, high-energy format with
abbreviated sessions tailored to the virtual experience, along with a renewed
focus on collaboration and community engagement. The Summit will be held online
over two afternoons on Central European Time with tracks devoted to project
contributors, developers and those new to Cloud Foundry.
Each day will feature special activities for the community, including a Day
Zero event designed for first-time Summit attendees, the Diversity Conversation
(formerly Diversity Luncheon) to continue the discussion on inclusivity and
equity, and a Game Night for people to come together in a relaxed setting. To
enhance the interactive experience, the Summit will offer a speed networking
feature to attendees that mimics the organic meetings that take place at a
physical event.
“Cloud Foundry Summit is all about collaboration – among our community and
across the open source ecosystem,” said Chip Childers, executive director,
Cloud Foundry Foundation. “Our European event will highlight the rapid
evolution of the Cloud Foundry project towards its Kubernetes-based future and
our community’s tireless work to ensure Cloud Foundry’s architecture includes
the most modern cloud-native infrastructure technology and simplifies the developer
experience.”
