1. Sam Ramji: Update on the Foundation - Hear an update from Sam Ramji on what's going on at the Cloud Foundry Foundation. Sam is a 20 year veteran of the Silicon Valley and Seattle technology scenes and brings a wealth of business, product and open source experience to the CEO role. He has led strategy for API powerhouse Apigee, designed and led Microsoft’s open source strategy and drove product strategy for BEA WebLogic Integration. He is the board secretary of Outercurve Foundation and a member of multiple industry advisory boards.

2. David Aiken: Building Cloud Foundry Apps - David Aiken, Chief Technical Evangelist from HP Helion, will walk you through building a real cloud native app by taking an existing application and “refactoring” it to become a first class citizen. We will pull apart application configuration, dependencies, deal with running multiple instances, how to be “Stateless”, deal with availability, debugging and deployment.

3. Ali Spivak: Building Diverse Communities in Open Source - Ali Spivak manages the Mozilla Developer Network and will discuss how to support a diverse developer community, acknowledge many different voices and perspectives, be open and inclusive, and still get things done (especially when you can’t force anyone to do anything)? Let’s talk about what motivates contributors and managers of communities – what works, what doesn’t work, and ways to be more transparent, create opportunity, and broadly share ownership.
