Fellow Mesos Community Members, Many of you have probably seen the announcement for Mesosphere Advance, a conference co-located at CloudNativeCon. Given the deep involvement that Mesosphere has had with past MesosCons, this has left many of you asking us if Mesosphere Advance replaces MesosCon.
No, it does not. Mesosphere Advance is the evolution of DC/OS Day which was previously co-located with MesosCon and is focused on DC/OS and its ecosystem. Having said that, Mesos is a big part of the DC/OS ecosystem and we’ll be featuring Mesos and Mesos related projects prominently at Mesosphere Advance. We’d love for you and your teams to consider submitting talk there! Check out https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/europe18-mesosphereadvance for more info. So, where does that leave MesosCon? In the past Mesosphere has almost exclusively managed the organization of MesosCon and going forward we want it to be more community organized. To that end, we–a group of Mesos users and developers (including Mesosphere)–are currently in the process of organizing a MesosCon event and we should have an update soon, so please stay tuned. If you have questions, suggestions, or want to get involved in the planning process, feel free to reach out to us personally! Ben (PMC Chair) & Joerg (MesosCon Chair)
