Probably time to say that I rarely look at this place or post anything. The app isn't on my phone so I have to remember to visit in the browser which is happening less and less. While LinkedIn doesn't really replace the interactions I had here that's where I spend more time.

A "who's who of open source" - the leaders joining the State of Open Con 26 Advisory Board reflect the breadth of our global community, from students to community and business leaders, as well as technical wizards. SOOCon 26 will take place on 3 and 4 February 2026 in London. Explore our website to meet the stupendous team for '26 https://t.co/PpKksZGBcd

State of Open Con is well established as one of the world's best open source conferences, thanks to the great community contributions, not least of which is that of its Advisory Board, which shapes the conference direction.

This is Kiro - the AI IDE that actually works on your messy, real-world projects. Other AI tools lose context when projects get complex. Kiro gives you spec-driven development that scales beyond prototypes.

Excited to see our team's continued work on Finch, now with devcontainers integration in VSCode! https://t.co/VCHNdNSZwf

[Micah Hausler @micahhausler]

I’m so excited to talk about what I’ve been working on the last 2 months! Today we’re open sourcing Cedar access controls for Kubernetes! Cedar is an open source policy language created by AWS, and this project enables writing expressive K8s permissions 🧵

CNCF Sandbox Project を作りました。

[Phil Estes @estesp]

Super excited to see that we have completed the triumvirate: Finch now support macOS, Windows, *and* Linux! Great work by the team and already available in Amazon Linux repos (AL2 & AL2023). More info in our OSS blog: https://t.co/NcQ8yas0au

[Phil Estes @estesp]

Excited to be speaking with Olly Pomeroy at re:Invent this December. We're hosting a workshop on the open source SOCI snapshotter, created by my team here at AWS. It's a good time to register and get your seat now! SVS402 is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec 3 at 3:30p

@bradtopol Welcome to Italy! 🇮🇹

[Ampere @AmpereComputing]

In the latest episode of the #Developer Impact Series, @estesp joins to discuss @containerd’s pilot project launched by Ampere, Equinix, and the CNCF to use Actuated for its Arm64 builds.

Watch now to hear the results.

It has been a great journey from preparing @OpenSearchProj for broader community engagement and now where it is as a new foundation ready to scale and grow its community and impact on search and analytics. @Carl_F_Meadows #OSSummit

Nandini Ramani from AWS announces the new OpenSearch Software Foundation at #OSSUMMIT #opensource

@mhickeybot @InstructLab See you there my friend!

[Phil Estes @estesp]

So glad that @kelseyhightower took the time to drop in on FOSSY today; he always generates interesting conversations and it is always great to catch up and hang out while Kelsey holds court in the hallway track :)

[Phil Estes @estesp]

Excited to see this blog post go live: a deeper dive into what the OCI 1.1 specs enable now that they are supported by Amazon ECR. And huge thanks to Jesse and Michael for all their work in the OCI community that helped make this a reality! https://t.co/OakqBfQnNe

[Phil Estes @estesp]

@jessfraz ouch..my attempt at this is a few hundred lines of javascript :) I never really finished it either--I save all jobs/runs/status to DDB and have some queries to do some post-deep dive into why a certain job or step seems to be flaky; also pipes runtimes to a grafana dashboard

[Phil Estes @estesp]

@jonobacon Wait, this isn't a rerun of Grumpy Old Men? Wrong channel I guess

[Phil Estes @estesp]

Super excited to see this fully available from the ECR team: OCI v1.1 specification support is launched! I gave a talk at #CloudNativeSecurityCon today talking about OCI v1.1 and its relation to image security but didn't know today was the day https://t.co/XYiStQb9iS

[Kyle Q (the DockerSlim guy) @kcqon]

"Container Images & Security 101: 5 Need to Know Facts - Phil Estes, AWS" - should be a great #CloudNativeSecurityCon talk today for anybody looking for the container image and security fundamentals. Don't miss the opportunity to ask @estesp questions in person! https://t.co/tOuF3viMPV #CNSCon

[Duffie Cooley @mauilion]

Such a great night at the @isovalent Hivemind!! Thank you all for coming out and being a part of it.

[Phil Estes @estesp]

A very belated Father's Day post (since I had to celebrate late with the family): when your daughter knows just what to get you 😂 Kirsten works for the LF events team now and she's fully inundated to the world of open source!
