Welcome

For 2026: Increase Adoption

• Simplify — Make it "like magic" for developers and administrators

• Enable — Provide developers and end users with training, support, tools, utilities, and examples (reduce TTV)

• Evangelize — Articles, blogs, videos, meetups, and partner engagement

• Innovate — New features to maintain competitive advantage (MCP Servers are table stakes)

Announcement and Issues

Working on goals for 2026 that should become Feature Requests and then items on the roadmap if the TSC approves. We may want to convene an Architecture deep-dive to discuss potential approaches and decide on the best technical execution. Who would want to attend those meeting(s)?
