We're off to a strong start to the DevOps Enterprise Summit, don't you think?

We're about to break now, and then the breakout talks will start at 11:00 AM Central Time.

We have networking time starting at 2:05 PM Central Time. That's Birds of a Feather, or having conversations at the Dockside Bar.

Visit our sponsors in the Solution Hub, and check out the demos and play the games for fun and prizes, and be back here for more plenary talks starting at 3:20 PM Central Time.

At the start of the day, I promised to share more information about Gather, the virtual conference space we've created for the summit.

When you enter Gather, you'll have the opportunity to set your character. Please set your name in Gather to match your name in Slack. That'll just make it easier for you and others to interact. Then do whatever makes you happy with your choice of character and clothing.

There are private spaces throughout Gather. When you're in a private space, no one outside that private space can see your video or hear you. You can tell where the private spaces are by the shading on the floor around it, and Gather will also tell you when you've entered one.

You can also interact with some of the objects in the space. Gather will tell you to press X to interact with them when you get near them.

So I hope you're excited about using Gather. We've recreated the hallway track virtually in Gather, and I know that's something many of us appreciate as such a valuable part of the conference experience, especially at the summit.

And with that, just remember, be back here for more plenary talks starting at 3:20 PM Central Time.

Okay, that's it. Have fun. Learn lots.
