OpenStack Birthday Celebration Plus How to Get Involved in Open Source Projects

We are teaming up to help celebrate OpenStack Foundation's 9th Birthday!

Now that the OSF family has grown with the addition of Zuul, Kata, StarlingX, and Airship, we're timing the annual celebration around the establishment of the OSF, which was in July 2012. This annual mid-year tradition is still very much about the OpenStack project, but as the Foundation continues to evolve, we’d like to invite the entire OSF family to celebrate!

As part of this celebration we want to tell you about various open source projects and how you can engage and contribute.

Dinner and drinks will be provided.

Agenda (subject to change):
6PM – sign in, food, networking

3. Kata Containers: running your containers solutions with extra isolation - Eric Ernst
   With the promise of minimal overhead and the ability to quickly scale based on user needs, the cloud ecosystem has been adopting containers at a fast pace – the hype is real! As adoption has scaled, so have concerns over security implications of using this technology. Kata Containers is a container runtime solution which brings hardware virtualization isolation to the container ecosystem. We will provide a brief overview of Kata, and describe how folks can get involved with the Kata community.
