The OpenPOWER Foundation has decided to pivot from our single day “OpenPOWER Summit” event to a webinar series.  
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The benefits of this new format are as follows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Flexible format
 | 
						|
- Expanded engagement
 | 
						|
- Increased cadence 
 | 
						|
- Community driven topics
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Over the last month, I have been speaking with members of our community and our Board about the OPF Summit event.  
 | 
						|
The feedback has been to develop focused webinars that target community developments across hardware, software, and systems.  
 | 
						|
This approach aligns with our open source community needs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Our new webinar series will provide OPF the ability to continuously highlight the great work our community is doing,
 | 
						|
in a way that will bring increased engagement into OPF workgroups, projects, and initiatives.  
 | 
						|
We want to create webinar series that are accessible, simple, and community focused to provide our community an effective channel in which to highlight their achievements.  
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These new webinars will occur at regular intervals, will have open CFPs for topics in advance for our community, and be streamed to multiple platforms to cover the widest audience. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We are opening up the [CFP for our first webinar now](https://cfp.openpower.foundation/webinars/cfp/).
 | 
						|
Please submit your topic and ideas for content.
 | 
						|
If you have questions, please feel free to connect with us on our Slack channel or discussion forum.
