This Commons Gathering featured some of the brightest technical minds in cloud technology discussing the future of OpenShift and its related upstream open source projects. With OpenShift Container Platform quickly gaining adoption around the world, the OpenShift Commons Gathering offers talks from upstream project leads, and case studies from users across multiple industries and use cases. This event also included face-to-face meetings for all the OpenShift Commons Special Interest Groups.

Highlights from the Gathering in Boston included a tour de force series of demos and updates on the forthcoming Red Hat OpenShift 4.0 release with Clayton Coleman, Mike Barrett and Derek Carr. With the move to Operators in this next release, many of the talks at Gathering focused on the usage and creation of Kubernetes Operators. Engineers from NASA, RBC, Thyssenkrupp Elevators, Volkswagen, Best Buy and UPS were on hand to discuss their usage of the OpenShift platform to meet business goals and drive innovation.

OpenShift's Diane Mueller interviewed Red Hat's CEO, Jim Whitehurst, in front of a live audience in a fireside chat , discussing the implications of Kubernetes, OpenShift, and the digital transformation for enterprises around the world.

What is OpenShift Commons?

Commons builds connections and collaboration across OpenShift communities, projects, and stakeholders. In doing so we'll enable the success of customers, users, partners, and contributors as we deepen our knowledge and experiences together.

Our goal go beyond driving code contributions. Commons is a place for companies using OpenShift to accelerate its success and adoption. To do this we'll act as resources for each other, share best practices and provide a forum for peer-to-peer communication.
