Monthly Discussion Group

As of April 2024, AMER and EMEA sessions are discontinued in favor of discussion panels with a more targeted focus.

Interested in learning how other end users are implementing OpenTelemetry in their organizations? Come talk shop with other OpenTelemetry end users! This is a vendor-neutral space to discuss best practices, ask questions, and meet other observability-minded folks.

Feedback that is shared and collected in these sessions will be routed back to the relevant project maintainers to help drive prioritization of improvements and changes to the project.

About

• Search the blog for “End-User Discussions” to find summaries of past discussions.
• A project maintainer and/or a Governance Committee member will be in attendance at each session to provide additional context, insight, and plans to user questions and feedback.
• Sessions are recorded.
