From YouTube: Kubernetes Community Days Berlin 2022 - Lexi Nadolski - Opening remarks

Description

Welcome to the Kubernetes Community Days 2022 in Berlin !

A

Welcome everyone: my name is Lexi nadolski, that's very loud I'm. Currently the community program manager at Microsoft I used to work for kinvoke as the events director um yeah putting together community events like all systems, go I, don't know if anybody's heard of that one, but that's started in 2017, and that was basically my first time kind of being in a um in touch with the cloud native community in my career before that it was all non-profits, so very different. I also remember.

A

At that time we were doing Cloud native Computing, Berlin meetups, so I actually got to meet a lot of the community here in Berlin that actually I see around here today. So thank you for coming.

A

um Many of you might not know this, but um all who have oh sorry, wrong wrong uh thing. Yeah many of you might not be aware, but the original um uh organizers, which is Carlos panatos uh Tina uh from sis eleven Chrissy from coopermatic and myself. We've been actually planning this kcd uh since 2019, and obviously that didn't really go over very well, because we had the pandemic come and change our lives forever, and we really firmly believed that kcd Berlin should be in person.

A

These are local events, so we really waited until it was safe for us to gather it was safe. Ish I know that everything's on the rise so again wear your masks inside um but yeah uh welcome.

A

Thank you for coming um and I'm really happy that we could all be here together again, um and we hope that this is the first of many future Berlin kcds and that we can get together to help growth and grow and strengthen the community here in this amazing International, diverse, vibrant and sometimes a bit crazy uh City that we all love so much.

A

um While writing these opening remarks in the middle of the night I had time to reflect upon what makes Berlin community so special and so unique uh Berlin is truly an Innovation Hub, uh where the first cncf organized uh kubecon EU was took place and it was chosen as this location because it was the center of the cloud native Community here in Europe. Those close to the initial decision at the cncf have told me that they really really needed the event to be held in a center Hub because they I mean it was early days.

A

So they could not really assume that people would actually travel for this new initiative.

A

um So that says a lot. um The cloud native Community was booming in this city at the time and still continues to providing home to early adopter uh companies like SoundCloud, from which Prometheus project was born. Some people did not know that uh and zalando and of course, uh kuros's European offices, uh sys, 11, kin, Volk and many more startups recent, like polar signals and cubestac, and many many more and as I mentioned earlier.

A

It also was the stage for many community events and Berlin meetups and conferences, like all systems go go days, uh Tech, open air, uh Berlin, buzzwords and many many more so we're always looking for volunteers in the community to help with these initiatives. So you know reach out and get involved.

A

um I would also like to take some time uh to go over logistical items. uh Some things have changed due to the weather, so we are still doing two days two tracks, but, as you can see, it's going to be inside uh it's going to be a little tight, but I think it's going to be great anyway. So please again, wear your masks.

A

um There is a QR code actually on everybody's badges on the back. So if you just scan this QR code, you could see who's speaking where this will be stage. One on uh on the actual agenda and stage two is downstairs.

A

um Right, uh we have two coffee breaks today: a lunch break, um and tomorrow it's just one coffee break and a lunch break um and special thanks to our coffee sponsors I've already enjoyed my latte so um very grateful to GK software I hope you guys also enjoyed that. uh We also are providing 12 soft drinks, so there's a card in your badges and it has 12 stamps so for the next two days you could have uh any of the soft drinks.

A

um Anything else is available for purchase um what else uh we are giving snacks and some vegan wraps, but of course, first come first serve and also we would like you to go explore any other food options just across the bridge. There's plenty of different little Empanada stations and it's quite nice actually to go out and explore. So we encourage you to do that to the do that and after the last today, which should be at around 605.

A

Hopefully, if we're on schedule, we have the all attendee party and it will go until around 9 00 PM, all attendees are invited. um Actually Garden I o is providing uh all free beer for the entire party. I was trying to think of a beer garden joke with Garden IO, but I couldn't think of one so just insert some witty line here, um but yeah sorry guys. I I was like Dad jokes, no, not my forte.

A

um Anyway, they are providing free beer again and all other beverages are available for purchase for everybody, right um pictures and videos are being taken. So if anybody has an issue about being photographed or captured on video, please let our um our registration team know, and they will let me know, uh and so we can make sure that you are your privacy. Privacy is protected um and I know some people were asking. But uh of course, this kcd organizing team is dedicated to providing a harassment, Free Conference.

A

So we are abiding by the Linux, slash the ncf code of conduct um and if there's any issues that arise, you could identify all of the organizers with these t-shirts, very cool and just let us know if you have any comments, any issues, any feedback, we're always here to listen uh and now, uh thanks to our all of our supporters, without whom this event would not be possible.

A

So now I really do have to read uh the organizing sponsors Microsoft sys11 kubermatic, who have been here from the beginning: uh gold sponsors, uh capgemini, silver sponsors, Garden, IO, Souza and cystic the bond sponsor of red hat and any nines uh our community sponsors nginx and serve you technical support and, finally, our media sponsors, German tech, jobs and additionally, uh additionally, any uh profit from this event will be donated to leave no one behind and it's a non-profit that basically works with refugees from all over the globe, not just one crisis but every crisis.

A

uh Lastly, I would like to tell you guys how appreciative I am uh for our program committee and our organizers, the speakers that stood by us uh who worked tirelessly to try to make this event a success for the Berlin Community. Sorry I'm, getting a little emotional um Andrew Randall and ALT House Bill Mulligan Benazir Khan, Carlos, panado, Kristen, vittig, Mario, fallhand, um Maribel, Fernandez, Tina I always get this bad sorry, Tina uh Rick bind uh Tino tilo from Sandra gomezky and Sasha Siegel.

A

It's truly taught me that as a community, we are stronger together. Thank you for them, and everyone, um and thank you to all the attendees uh who have joined us. So I hope that you guys enjoy the next two days that we've prepared for you and that's it for me. I think. The next talk is by Christian coral Coral, hurl from sis 11, so I'll.
