After a week in Shanghai all I can say is wow, I’m truly humbled by the open source and cloud native community in China that showed up to support our first conference in China. I first want to thank the amazing CNCF events team and most importantly Janet Kuo and Liz Rice who acted as tireless program chairs for this first time event:

I’ve had the fortunate/unfortunate experience of traveling to China 6 times in the last 12 months and it’s been an experience learning about the open source community here. Also it’s been hilarious learning all the new tools like WeChat, Didi, Ofo and so on to navigate life in China but I can save that for another time (DiDi jail is the worst). The CNCF has grown from a few members in China to about 40 which represents a little more than 10% of the CNCF total membership. China is the third largest contributor to CNCF projects (in terms of contributors and committers) after the U.S. and Germany:
… also as a tidbit… as of recently China is the 3rd largest contributor to @CloudNativeFdn projects across the board #kubecon #cloudnativecon https://t.co/ssdyNkKFNk pic.twitter.com/g1hyOxpUFq

Huawei and PingCap lead the way for Chinese companies with 34,000+ and 32,000+ contributions respectively, and are the fifth and sixth largest contributors overall. We also now host three CNCF projects that were effectively born in China: Dragonfly (Alibaba), Harbor (VMWare China) and TiKV (PingCap). I’m proud of the work the CNCF has done to facilitate project learnings across the world as China scale open source is a trend that will continue to grow (I plan on writing more about this soon as I finalize my thoughts).
I’m also proud to award JD.com our first End User Award in China for their cultivation of cloud native in China, they run one of the largest bare metal Kubernetes and Vitess deployments in the world and have been very forthcoming in sharing the lessons around that experience:

Here are some of my other favorite tweets and moments from the conference:
Great job by @derekmcgowan and @mikebrow on the @containerd deep dive. Could have used double the time and people still want to talk and ask questions! #KubeCon pic.twitter.com/uelBUxRAE6

Honored to have the opportunity to share the story of #Kubernetes at @lyft with the first ever #kubecon China!
It's also my first bilingual conference and the experience has been really cool! pic.twitter.com/sHVG3Axr5R

I love seeing many VMware coworkers within the group of Harbor contributors being recognized in the #KubeCon China keynote. Harbor is the first China originated CNCF project, just advanced from sandbox to incubating status pic.twitter.com/QwLqiPtahZ

Had an awesome conversation about binary authorization projects in-toto [https://t.co/959vCU6XOE] and Grafeas & Kritis [https://t.co/lC5X9ScGK4] at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon China – nowhere else can you have these kinds of conversations–this is why I attend!

Also, massive kudos to the translators at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon who have been ON POINT. The translator for the Service Mesh panel was capturing and relaying a boatload of technical details in a staggeringly fast amount of time.

Tencent originally had something like Borg in 2009, migrated to Docker and k8s in 2013-14, Docker on Yarn in 2015, 2016-now is Tencent k8s engine. #KubeCon

Anyway, thank you so much for everyone who attending and took a chance on our first event in China. I’m exhausted and heading for a long vacation but truly proud of the CNCF team and community for putting on an amazing event.
