Hi all,

Chris is on PTO this week; so here's this edition of bi-weekly roundup from me.


Hope you’re safe, sane, and comfortable out there.  


Some exciting new changes at the Cloud Foundry Foundation, just announced: https://www.cloudfoundry.org/blog/cloud-foundry-foundations-cto-steps-into-executive-director-role:  

  • Abby Kearns is moving on from the Foundation. Chip Childers has been appointed the new Executive Director. While we’re going to miss Abby tremendously, we are very grateful to have had such tremendous leadership here at the CFF for the past few years, and also that we are fortunate enough to be left in Chip’s capable hands going forward. 

  • Read Chip’s post here and Abby’s post here.

  • Join a community AMA tomorrow, Thursday, April 9th, from 8-10 AM PST on Cloud Foundry Slack in the #cff-forum channel to discuss this transition.

From the Last Few Weeks:

  • Chip Childers is now the Executive Director of Cloud Foundry Foundation.

  • Paul Fazzone has been named new chairman of the CFF Board.

  • We’re launching a new tutorials website! Content creation is happening now, and we’d love your input, contributions, and feedback!. Please reach out in the #cloudfoundry-tutorials slack channel if you’d like to get involved. Official launch is scheduled for a few weeks from now.

  • The Release Integration team is requesting review for cf-deployment V13 scope.

  • Google steps up to Platinum membership in the CFF! Read more here. 

  • Nice blog post here on Project Quarks and KubeCF.

  • The BOSH PMC is making a few changes outlined here, most notably moving the BOSH project to a distributed committer model.

It is an understatement when we say “these are unprecedented times.” During these times of uncertainty, the Cloud Foundry Foundation wants to offer an open zoom “break room” for our community. Please feel free to “walk” into this break room and hang out with others. (Please do remember: Code of conduct applies here as well.)

From the Last Few Weeks:

  • KubeCF released v1.0 AND v1.0.1! Message here. Blog post here. Press release here.
  • Stratos released v3.0! Message here.
  • CF routing v0.199.0 was released. Message here.
