Already an avid SPDK developer or user? Great! Participate in our developer's meetup to brainstorm and share ideas to improve the project as well as discuss new features, concepts and BKMs. The event kicks off with a key note from the Intel(r) Corporation Data Center Group Vice President, Jennifer Huffstetler. The agenda continues with an awesome line up which includes talks from various SPDK community members (Alibaba, eBay, Oracle, Cisco, Nutanix) who are eager to share their experience, learning, challenges and benefits with SPDK.
