DESCRIPTION:For September\, we're taking advantage of a speaker in town f
 or DevOpsDaysPDX\, and making it an all-observability night\, with Fluen
 tBit and OpenTelemetry.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nDate: Wednesday\, September 16\, 
 2026&#13\;\nTime: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM&#13\;\nLocation: SteepleJack Brewing
 \, Fireside Room\, 2400 NE Broadway\, Portland&#13\;\n&#13\;\nTalks are 
 typically recorded (opt-in by speakers)&#13\;\n&#13\;\nA big thank you t
 o SuSE for sponsoring catering at SteepleJack\, as well as Eric's travel
 .&#13\;\n&#13\;\nFirst Presentation: No C\, No Opaque AI: Watch Your Fir
 st Fluent Bit Contribution Happen Live&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSpeaker: Eric D. S
 chabell\, SuSE&#13\;\n&#13\;\nContributing to a CNCF graduated project f
 eels out of reach until someone shows you exactly how it happens. In thi
 s session\, that someone is on stage doing it in real time — spotting a 
 gap between what the Fluent Bit codebase actually does and what the docs
  say\, opening a branch on a live fork\, running the project's prose lin
 ter\, writing a properly signed commit\, and pushing a pull request that
  closes a real tracked issue. Every step\, no shortcuts\, no slides pret
 ending to be a terminal.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nYou will leave knowing the two-r
 epo mental model that makes Fluent Bit doc contributions work\, the git 
 habits that signal credibility to maintainers\, and the AI guardrails th
 at keep your name attached to work you actually stand behind. Your first
  PR does not require deep C knowledge. It requires knowing where to look
 \, how to show your work\, and when to keep your hands on the wheel.&quo
 t\;&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSecond Presentation: Devs\, Transform (Your Data) and
  Roll Out!: Learning and Leveraging OTTL&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSpeaker: Reese L
 ee\, New Relic&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe OpenTelemetry Collector is OTel’s powe
 r tool for ingesting and processing your app and infrastructure data\, b
 ut there’s even more you can do with your data before it reaches your ba
 ckend! Learn how to start leveraging OTTL\, or OpenTelemetry Transformat
 ion Language\, to manage your data volume and quality. We’ll explore the
  syntax basics and its underlying architecture within the Collector\, wh
 ere its strength really comes into play\, when to use it (or not!)\, and
  more.\n\nTags: kubernetes\, containers\, cloud\, intrastructure\, devop
