Weād love you to stop by the GitHub booth! Say hello, ask questions about GitHub Actions, grab some stickers, or chat about GitHub Codespaces and GitHub Copilot.
Speaking of Copilot, our very own @blackgirlbytes will be talking about how to level up your skills with GitHub Copilot on Saturday, March 11, 2023ā16:30 to 17:30.
And @margaret-tucker will be talking about how developers can get involved in public policy on Friday, March 10, 2023 – 17:00 to 18:00.
Rizel and Margaret join a fantastic lineup of speakers traveling from all over the world sharing their knowledge and expertise covering a broad range of topics around open source.
Here are a few other sessions weāre excited for:

As a developer advocate, one of the largest challenges we have is teach people how to use our products. To do this means that we have to create workshops and disposable environments so our students can get their hands dirty. As IBM employees we use the IBM cloud, but it is designed for long-term production usage, not the ephemeral infrastructures that a workshop would require. We have previously created some systems around it to provide different ways of building up these systems, but in this latest iteration, we discovered we created a full serverless stack (by accident).
@ladykerr says: Working in the cloud has become a keen interest of mine. I can’t wait to hear this talk and understand more about serverless development.
Sunday, March 12, 2023ā11:30 am PT to 12:30 pm PT
In this talk, I will explore the challenges and opportunities of starting out as a cloud engineer, and provide practical tips and tricks for overcoming these challenges and having a successful experience. These are:
@blackgirlbytes says: Not to be a copycat, but Iām also interested in the talk, Cloudy with a Chance of Success. First off, the title is intriguing and creative. Additionally, in my past roles, Iāve focused heavily on serverless development, so Iām looking forward to learning how itās evolved over the years and gain tips on how to introduce cloud development to a beginner.
Check out the full schedule and list of speakers. Registration is still open! š

AI agents in GitHub Copilot donāt just assist developers but actively solve problems through multi-step reasoning and execution. Hereās what that means.
In May, we experienced three incidents that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services.
Sharpen your skills, test out new tools, and connect with people who build like you.
