Behind the scenes of the first IstioCon – Building for collaboration and diversity – María Cruz & Aizhamal Nurmamat kyzy

Istio is the industry’s favorite service mesh. From Feb 22-26 this year, the project celebrated its first conference, a community-led event that brought together actors from across the ecosystem to present stories of Istio in production, both in Chinese and English. In this talk, we will share design principles and strategies we created to work with partners across 5 companies to build a one-week event in 2 languages and drive outstanding results.

The Open DevOps Platform: GitLab – Nuritzi Sanchez

Come learn what GitLab is and how it approaches the open source sustainability question: through an open open core business model. We’ll cover ways that it maintains its stewardship of the GitLab open source project while also pursuing a profitable business model.

The audience will leave knowing more about how an open core model works, what GitLab is, about GitLab community programs designed to help open source projects grow, and how to get involved.
