Summary

The presentation discusses the latest news and trends in the CNCF End User Ecosystem, with a focus on saving time for end users and empowering organizations to collaborate and share best practices in cloud native technologies.

The CNCF End User Program aims to connect and empower organizations to collaborate and share best practices in cloud native technologies through engagement within the CNCF community.
The end user newsletter, Wisdom of the Cloud, provides an ecosystem pulse to cut through the noise and save time for end users, with deep technical dives and highlights on people and processes.
End users are short on time and have to keep up with the latest developments in cloud native technologies while running their business, which is why the program exists to help save time.
The presentation also mentions the CTO Summit Series and a report on the foundations of cloud native maturity, as well as a survey to gather feedback on which projects end users are interested in and how they fit together.

The presenter uses puns and gardening analogies to illustrate the importance of different amounts of water, sunshine, and nutrients to grow a garden, much like the different aspects of the CNCF end user community. The presenter also shares a personal anecdote about receiving feedback on the amount of puns in previous presentations.
