Cloud Foundry Summit North America 2020 took place on June 24th and 25th. We hope you all have enjoyed it as much as we did.
This year, Cloud Foundry Foundation created a whole new experience for the community.
A Virtual Summit
We had the opportunity to attend the Summit and sponsor it, as we believe in the power of community and supporting each other.
Although we missed seeing the Cloud Foundry community in person at this Summit, meeting all enthusiasts in a virtual way was a great experience.
Despite all the differences between an event and a virtual summit, Cloud Foundry Foundation prepared a very similar environment for attending talks, visiting booths and networking with MeetingPlay platform.
Keep reading, we have gathered some tips to simplify your virtual event experience …

The virtual platform went online on Wednesday June 24th, 9:00 am (CDT UTC -5), at the time it was supposed to take place in Austin / Texas.
The Summit started with a Welcome & Opening Remarks, hosted by Chip Childers, Cloud Foundry Foundation Executive Director.
The Cloud Foundry Foundation has launched Cloud Foundry for Kubernetes (cf-for-k8s), a more ambitious effort to replace the underpinnings of the PaaS environment with a Kubernetes foundation. [1]
Some highlights of Chip Childers’ talk:

The Cloud Foundry Foundation relies on the community and contributors to maintain the health of CF projects.
In 2018, CFF decided to start an official award for recognizing the efforts of its community.
This year Andy Paine, Platform Engineer at EngineerBetter, won the Cloud Foundry Community’s Inspirational User award. Congrats!
