Description
Welcome Keynote: the Roaring Twenties for JavaScript - Robin Bender Ginn, Executive Director, OpenJS Foundation & Todd Moore, VP of Open Technology and Developer Advocacy, IBM
A
B
Yes,
javascript
as
an
example
was
created
over
25
years
ago
and
just
for
perspective.
At
that
time
time
google
was
just
getting
started
and
amazon
sold
its
first
book
today,
96
of
the
world's
websites
depend
on
javascript
and
it's
the
number
one
programming
language.
If
you
look
at
surveys
from
red
hat
and
stack
overflow.
A
B
A
The
widespread
availability
of
electricity
changed
the
way
that
people
lived
and
worked.
Radio
and
television
connected
people
around
the
world
and
women
in
the
u.s
finally
won
the
right
to
vote.
Yet
you
know
what
there
still
continues
to
be
an
uphill
battle
on
civil
rights
for
many
fast
forward,
2020
wow.
It
was
challenging
in
so
many
ways
to
our
hosted
communities
at
the
openjs
foundation,
the
pandemic.
A
It
took
a
toll
on
our
families
and
businesses,
yet
it
was
uplifting
to
see
how
our
communities
joined
in
the
fight
against
inequality
and
bias
in
society
so
moving
forward.
Will
we
see
the
same
rate
of
advancements
today
in
technology
and
society?
Can
we
keep
a
25-year-old
technology
relevant
for
the
future?
Can
we
overcome
systemic
bias
in
the
tech
industry.
B
We
believe
we
can.
You
know
we
are
on
the
precipice
of
a
another
set
of
boom
years
for
javascript,
and
this
is
evidenced
by
the
diverse
multi-stakeholder
communities
that
make
up
the
openjs
foundation
we're
a
global
community.
Just
two
years
ago
we
created
this
foundation
through
the
merger
of
node.js
and
the
js
foundation,
and
now
look.
We
have
37
javascript
projects.
They
include
important
projects
such
as
node.js,
amp,
electron,
jquery,
webpack,
node,
red
appium
and.
A
For
me,
the
pandemic
brought
us
closer
together.
You
know
with
our
co-workers,
dogs
and
kids
on
zoom,
but
what's
great
is
that
we
are
a
member
supported
organization
with
companies
like
ibm,
google,
joint,
microsoft,
godaddy
netflix
and
more.
You
know
they
provide
the
financial
support
and
active
involvement
in
our
governance
process,
and
you
know
we're
really
fortunate
to
be
joined
by
new
members.
Supporting
us
american
express
coinbase,
bloomberg,
node
experts
and
stream
joined
us
as
silver
members
and
then
we're
thrilled.
That
netflix
is
now
a
gold
member
of
our
foundation.
B
You
know
the
the
pandemic
also
brought
us
closer
to
our
end
users,
our
open
js
projects.
We
saw
a
dramatic
spike
in
the
online
commerce
and
and
digital
delivery
of
healthcare
and
education.
Javascript
is
just
so
essential
to
so
many
organizations.
Today,
let's
take
a
closer
look
at
netflix
as
an
end
user
and
contributor
to
the
node.js
project.
Since
2013
and
one
of
the
largest
scale
node.js
deployments
in
production,
you
know
with
covid
pandemic.
B
B
A
Take
a
look
at
a
few
milestones
from
our
project
communities
amp
shipped
its
plugin
for
wordpress
appium
2.0
will
soon
be
moving
from
beta
to
final
release
with
exciting
use
cases
across
major
consumer
devices,
including
samsung
tizen,
tvs,
roku
and
chromebooks
electron
ship
b13,
with
several
updates
and
wow
eslint.
They
they
release
frequently
and
they
even
have
a
triage
board.
A
If
you
want
to
help
out
webdriver
v7
celebrated
a
rewrite
of
its
complete
code
base
and
typescript
webpack
5
continues
to
stabilize
and
add
new
features
and
while
lots
of
action
in
the
node.js
community,
with
its
major
release
of
node,
16
and
node.js,
also
has
a
mentorship
initiative
with
an
opportunity
with
the
napi
working
group
and
node.
Js
also
has
a
free
training
course
to
support
the
node.js
certification
program.
B
B
A
So
I
bet
we
have
a
lot
of
nvm
users
watching
nvm
or
node
version
manager
is
the
widely
used
method
to
install
node.js
and
manage
multiple
versions.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
our
the
lead,
maintainer
jordan
harban,
for
putting
his
trust
in
the
openjs
foundation
for
this
important
project.
Happy
graduation,
nvm
and
we're
thrilled
to
have
our
friends
at
nativescript.
Graduate
nativescript
is
an
open
source
community
driven
framework
that
empowers
javascript
devs
to
access
native
platform.
Apis
directly
devs
love
this
because
it
streamlines
their
development.
Experience
happy
graduation
native
script.
B
So
also,
today,
we
welcome
a
new
project
into
incubation,
one,
that's
near
to
my
dear
to
my
heart.
Loopback.
We're
excited
to
bring
it
into
the
openjs
foundation.
Loopback
is
a
popular
node.js
framework
for
api
creation
and
a
platform
to
build
large-scale
node.js
applications.
It
uses
proven
patterns
with
typescript
and
is
really
a
first-class
citizen.
B
It
also
supports
soap
and
enterprise
databases.
Loopback
is
supported
by
ibm
and
a
broad
community
outside
of
it,
and
today
almost
half
of
its
pull
requests
come
from
community
members,
which
is
really
amazing.
So
I'd
also
like
to
talk
about
collaboration
network.
Our
technical
communities
also
work
across
projects
on
areas
where
they
share
obstacles
and
opportunities.
B
Much
like
special
interest
groups
that
you
find
in
other
organizations.
Collaboration
spaces
are
meant
to
help
the
community-led
efforts,
reach
broader
audiences
and
coordinate
stakeholders
from
across
the
javascript
ecosystem.
Our
new
collaboration
network
initiative
is
already
taking
shape
and
we
approach
these
groups
just
like
we
would
any
open
js
project.
I
think
that's
really
important,
because
security
is
always
high
on
everyone's
priority
list,
especially
these
days,
we
recently
launched
the
package,
vulnerability
management
and
reporting
collaboration
space.
A
A
Of
course,
diversity.
Equity
inclusion
are
clear
priorities
at
openjs,
yet
we
recognize
we
have
a
long
way
to
go.
So
as
part
of
these,
our
ongoing
efforts
to
foster
a
more
inclusive
space
to
collaborate.
We
put
some
more
structure
around
our
dei
programs,
so
drawing
on
the
leadership
of
the
inclusive
naming
initiative,
our
foundation
and
projects
have
taken
action
to
remove
harmful
language
in
our
github
repos
in
a
consistent
way
across
the
industry.
B
Our
node.js
training
and
certification
is
a
practical
way
to
serve
a
borderless
economy
and
up
level.
Your
skills,
the
certification
program,
was
developed
in
partnership
with
node
source
and
near
forum,
is
a
great
way
to
showcase
your
abilities
job
market
and
allow
companies
to
find
top
talent.
We
found
that
this
program
is
already
making
a
difference
in
developers,
lives,
prosper,
opara,
a
junior,
full
stack
engineer
at
deimos
cloud
in
nigeria
recently
shared
his
experience
with
the
node.js
certification.
B
A
So
to
provide
greater
access
to
the
foundation
and
projects
wherever
you
may
live,
we've
created
a
new
individual
supporter
program
called
javascript
landia
at
25
yearly.
The
program
provides
benefits
such
as
a
digital
badge,
to
add
to
your
online
profiles,
recognition
on
our
openjs
website,
community
updates,
discounts
on
training,
certification
conferences
and
other
exclusive
offers,
and
today
we're
also
launching
our
dedicated
javascript
landia
website,
where
you,
if
you
remember,
can
collect
badges
from
your
favorite
openjs
javascript
projects
and
hey.
If
you
remember,
you
can
even
get
a
limited
edition.
B
Well
and
I'd
also
like
to
mention
you
know,
governance
and
accountability.
You
know
why
is
an
open
source
foundation
like
openjs
so
important?
So,
let's
talk
about
neutrality
and
the
role
of
foundations.
Play
neutrality,
ensures
that
no
one
company
controls
a
piece
of
open
source
technology
that
many
depend
upon.
B
B
A
Today,
fastify
has
more
than
900
000
downloads
per
month
up
from
500
000
a
year
ago
and
187
plug-ins
and
what's
really
interesting,
is
mateo
said
that
fastify
started
before
any
lines
of
code
were
written
in
2016.
He
met
thomas
who
asked
how
to
get
started
in
open
source.
Mateo
asked
him
if
he
wanted
to
start
working
on
a
new
web
framework
for
node.js
fast
forward
a
few
years,
and
they
have
built
an
amazing
open
community.
B
A
And
you
know,
historically,
they
were
differing
views
on
open
source
and
open
standards,
with
the
two
efforts
sometimes
perceived
to
be
out
of
sync.
This
is
definitely
not
the
case
today,
where
community
silos
are
nearly
erased,
so
hear
what
our
friends
have
to
say
from
some
leading
standards:
development
orgs
on
how
our
communities
are
working
together
to
make
the
web
better
for
all.
C
Our
collaboration
in
technology
and
methodology,
bringing
people
together
to
enhance
the
web,
is
critical
to
our
mission
at
w3c,
cherish
our
partnership
and
look
forward
to
it,
increasing
it
as
we
attract
new,
diverse
web
practitioners
and
work
together
to
address
the
growing
amount
of
work
in
front
of
us.
Thank.
D
B
Ibm
and
our
customers
and
our
users
today
rely
upon
the
open
source
javascript
projects
hosted
at
the
openjs
foundation.
There's
just
no
doubt
about
that.
It's
in
all
our
economic
interests
to
invest
in
these
technologies
they're,
essentially
the
plumbing
that
creates
the
opportunity
that
we
all
share
in
ibm
also
finds
it
valuable
to
be
part
of
the
regular
convenings
of
the
javascript
engineering
work,
business,
marketing
and
legal
leaders
driving
the
direction
of
cloud
web
mobile
and
desktop
application
development,
including
new
scenarios,
where
machine
learning
and
ai
are
now
coming
to
the
forefront.
A
So
you
are
all
invited
to
join
our
community
at
openjs
to
get
involved.
