The Cloud Native Sign Language Glossary: A Story of Community and Inclusion

What is Kubernetes in sign language? How do you sign “CNCF”? For the first time, the cloud native community has signs for these terms.

Join us for a special panel to celebrate the collaborative journey of creating the Cloud Native Sign Language Glossary, a community effort to make the tech ecosystem more accessible for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Discover the inspiration behind the project, the challenges of creating signs for complex concepts like 'Kubernetes' and 'service mesh', and the impact this will have on professional and educational settings. Don't miss this inspiring conversation with the glossary's creators as we discuss what's next and how you can get involved.

Please note that this session will be primarily presented in American Sign Language (ASL). We welcome everyone to engage and ask questions in ASL or IS (International Sign Language) during the meet-and-greet and Q&A sessions. If you prefer, you can also ask questions in written form!

Logistics

To ensure this is an interactive event and optimize the experience for the live and on-demand audience, we'll be using Zoom to "meet" each other and communicate with one another (it's a meetup, after all) and YouTube to watch the presentation. We recommend you watch this on a monitor where you have Zoom and YouTube open side by side. Zoom interactions will not be recorded. We'll share the YouTube link during the meet & greet. We look forward to seeing you!
