Discuss future of GitOpsCon and Events

[todaywasawesome]

Hey everyone, we had a good discussion in the bi-monthly meeting today about GitOpsCon. We've colocated GitOpsCon very successfully at KubeCon in the past and then with a smaller audience at OpenSourceSummit. We feel like OSSummit is not really large enough to sustain the type of event we'd like to do and haven't signed up to be in the next one.

We're setting aside the August 7th meeting to brainstorm and share ideas about what kind of events we'd like to do in the future to continue the cause of GitOps.

This could include doing virtual events, doing standalone events, doing more meetup/local type events, opening it up to be less focused on K8s, focusing more on k8s etc. We'd love to get everyone's thoughts and ideas. Feel free to contribute here or join the meeting August 7th.

How about co-locating / embedding a gitops event / track in next years CloudLand Festival in Cologne/Germany?

We're considering a KCD, and even if that doesn't work out, we'd like to dedicate a track to CNCF projects and their contributers.

GitOps has been a (my) hot topic on all 3 CloudLands so far, and always will be.
