SODA : One Data Framework, Infinite Possibilities
SODA Forum @ OSI 2021
Friday 8 October, 2021 14:45 – 17:45 IST
“Container Data Management – Today & Tomorrow!”
SODA Forum @ OSI Days 2021, by SODA Foundation, is a technical mini summit that brings together industry leaders, developers, and end-users to collaborate and share projects, innovation, and best practices for data management and storage in the era of cloud native, IoT, big data, machine learning, and more.
Many storage vendors and industry leaders are exploring better ways to manage the data (and of course the storage!). As more and more users started migrating to containerization and container-based deployments, container storage solutions are emerging. Hybrid data management across Edge, Cloud, and On-premise is one of the areas, many developments and experiments are happening.
Listen and discuss with developers, maintainers, and architects who are working in this space.
We can also listen to their suggestions and inputs for further collaboration for unified data solutions in open source.
We will have interesting talks from industry experts, panel discussions and lightning talks.
Along with learning and sharing, amazing goodies to win!

The SODA Developer Bootcamp is an interactive event to enable participants to get familiar with the basics of SODA and the open source ecosystem. This will introduce them to some of the key use cases of SODA projects with dedicated help from community members.
Participants will gain knowledge and hands-on experience on contributing to the Open source ecosystem and can use this bootcamp as the first step in their open source journey. Participants will be introduced to testing projects and features, raising and fixing issues, raising pull requests and various best practices and tools required to start their contributions.

Mentors & Facilitators:
The SODA Hackathon OSI 2021 is an initiative to encourage people to contribute to Open Source projects, whether by fixing bugs, creating new features, or updating and writing documentation through core SODA Projects.
You will be working on core SODA Projects and you can contribute to these projects on Github by submitting Pull Requests(PR) or raising issues. For every PR and issue that is accepted, we will calculate the impact of the contribution by analyzing the scope of the work done.
The issues will be of varied difficulty levels right from beginner level. This is so that everyone can participate, irrespective of their experience with open source.
The detailed judging process will be described in the SODA Hackathon OSI 2021 Developers Guide which will be available on our community repository here. This will be available after 23rd September 2021.
The participants contributing will be eligible to win the prizes listed below. Participants will also have to perform a few other tasks which will be shared via email on successfully registering for the hackathon.
Note: Every participant must have their own GitHub ID and use the same for contributions.
If you’re new to open source (which everyone was once!), you can take a look at the Introduction to Open Source tutorial series. To make your first contribution, it’s required to familiarize yourself with how to create a pull request.
