Hi everyone, We are less than two months away from the OpenInfra Summit Berlin and I wanted to share some of the things that I am personally excited about! Our entire team as well as the community are working hard to make the first Summit in 2.5 years a memorable one, so I want to encourage you to make sure as many folks from your teams (and customers!) are registered as possible. • We have incredible speakers confirmed from organizations including BBC R&D, Ciena (5G on OpenStack), Kakao, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Bloomberg, BMW, Volvo, Adobe, LINE, Verizon, and hopefully a return from Walmart who can talk about how they’re running 1M cores of OpenStack in production. • We also recruited Franziska Brantner, the State Secretary in the Federal Ministry (Germany) for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Thanks, Kurt!) as well as Daniel Melin and Peter Nordström from Skatterverket, the Swedish Tax Agency (Thanks, Johan!) to talk about the importance of open source and digital sovereignty. • We have invited speakers from other open source bodies including the Open Source Initiative as well as the Open Compute Foundation to talk about our cross-community collaboration and strategy around open source in general • For those of you who may be facing travel restrictions from China, I wanted to let you know that we are working with the OpenInfra Days China organizers to bring the best of the Summit to the China event later in the Summer. I hope you’re getting as excited about the Summit as Nils* and I are. Like I mentioned, please make sure your teams and customers are registering as we want to make sure our biggest and most active companies are represented.
