CD Foundation

Contributed by: Lori Lorusso, JFrog, cdCon Program Committee Chair

The cdCon Call for Papers is well underway and, based on the submissions the program committee just reviewed, this year’s cdCon is going to be jam-packed with amazing technical content and community-focused sessions from project maintainers, end users, and notables in the continuous delivery space. With over 40 submissions received in just a week we were hard-pressed to choose just five to announce early but without further ado… check out the first five early bird talks:

Panel: The Continuous Delivery Paradox – Balancing Business Value with Speed
Moderator: Gautham Pallapa, VMWare

Fidelity’s Software Delivery Platform – Frictionless Approach To Achieve Autonomic DevOps & Enhanced Security/Compliance Practices
Speakers: Jamie Plower & Evan Elms, Fidelity Investments

Operating Tekton with Secure Defaults
Speakers: Christie Wilson (Warwick) &  Wendy Dembowski, Google

CI/CD for Data – Building Dev/Test Data Environments with Open Source Stacks
Speaker: Vinodhini Duraisamy, Treeverse

Trusted Open Source Artifacts on the Blockchain: A Hands-On Introduction to Pyrsia
Speaker: Adam Gardner, Dynatrace

Congratulations to the speakers of these talks! 

*If you weren’t a part of the first five – have no fear, you are still in the running for acceptance into the cdCon 2023 program. We will send out notifications for the remaining program on March 3, 2023.*
