OpenDev
Interested in Edge Computing? Join us for OpenDev, a new collaborative working event at DogPatch Studios in San Francisco, September 7-8. Tickets are just $100 for the two-day event, get yourself registered here!
The event will feature real world Edge use case demos from Verizon, AT&T and eBay in addition to updates from industry pioneers including Satya from Carnegie Mellon who’s doing cutting “edge” research. Program committee includes Beth Cohen (Verizon) Kandan Kathirvel (AT&T), Chris Price (Ericsson), Andrew Mitry (Walmart) and Gregory Katsaros (Inmarsat). Participating open tech groups include OpenStack, Open Edge Computing, ETSI MEC, OPNFV, Kubernetes and others.
As cloud architectures continue to evolve, compute is being pushed to the Edge in telecom, retail, research and other industries. This represents a huge opportunity for open infrastructure, so we’re meeting to talk about how to assemble and integrate the components needed to meet Edge requirements. The event is designed to facilitate collaboration at a technical level with productive, working group discussions, in addition to lightning talk presentations on Edge use cases. There will be a range of sessions that are collaborative, led by moderators who dive into specific topics. View the schedule line-up here.
