The eBPF ecosystem is growing, and so is the demand for strong local communities where developers can meet, share ideas, and create the next generations of eBPF projects, products, and companies.
The eBPF Foundation is excited to launch the eBPF Meetup Program, a new initiative designed to support and grow local eBPF communities around the world. This program empowers community members to organize local events focused on eBPF use cases and real-world production experience.
As eBPF continues to grow, knowledge sharing is becoming just as important as code, and local meetups play a critical role in that evolution.
How the Program Supports Organizers
The eBPF Meetup Program provides financial support to approved eBPF-focused events to help reduce the burden of organizing local gatherings. This support can be used for typical meetup related expenses such as food, venue costs, swag, and other essentials.
Events must be hosted on community.cncf.io or meetup.com and primarily focused on eBPF technology or use cases.
See the full reimbursement guidelines.
Building the next phase of the ecosystem
As the Foundation continues to invest in research, upstream development, and programs like grants and fellowships, the Meetup Program represents another step toward strengthening the global eBPF community.
If you’re using, developing, or just interested in eBPF, consider hosting a meetup and sharing your journey. If you’re new to the space, join a local event and start learning. If you want to meet other eBPF enthusiasts in your area, there are already meetups in San Francisco, Tokyo, and Vienna and you can always start your own!
We look forward to seeing more eBPF communities take shape around the world.
