Day 1 of the main KubeCon event startet with a bunch of keynotes from the cncf themselfes (anouncing the next locations for kubecon - amsterdam and barcelona).
The also announced a new sovereign cloud edge initiative (CNCF/LF meets EU and soem german ministry) called "NeoNephos" with members like SAP, StackIt or T-Systems.

This is also the day the sponsor showcase opened - so expect more talking to people and meetings or demos and less straight up talks.
