Panel: Activating Community To Grow in Cloud Native - Lisa Tagliaferri, Chainguard; Divya Mohan, SUSE; Langdon White, Boston University & Edith Puclla, Percona
Tuesday April 1, 2025 14:05 - 14:40 BST
Level 0 | ICC Capital Hall | Room J
How do you know you have what it takes to contribute to a Cloud Native project? While courses and books can provide you with the knowledge needed, it’s daunting to go it alone. Entrusting others from the community to participate in your education, through formal study groups or informal gatherings, can take the guesswork out of knowing when you are ready to contribute back.

In this panel discussion, we’ll bring together a global group of experts for a conversation on the characteristics of a productive learning community, how external engagement can support a culture of resource sharing, and why being able to learn effectively may be a developer’s most important skill. Community-based learning supports a safe environment to take risks, opportunities for greater breadth of learning, and an on-ramp for newcomers to contribute to a project. Join us to discuss the intersection of open source and education, and walk away with the knowledge of how to build and leverage a learning community.
