### Conferences successfully move to the virtual world
|
||||
|
||||
When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March, in-person conferences and events around the world came to a halt. Although many were canceled or postponed, others moved to [virtual formats with massive early success][3], reports Correspondent Alan Formy-Duval in his May news roundup. More than 80,000 people attended [Red Hat Summit][4] 2020 online in April, and [GitHub Satellite][5] saw 40,000 tune in from 178 countries. These were some of the biggest virtual conferences anywhere in 2020.

### Open source in the battle against COVID-19
|
||||
|
||||
As the world focused on controlling the spread of COVID-19, it is no surprise that open source technologies were critical in the effort. Scott Nesbitt shares how open data was used to "[create tracking dashboards and apps, [design] ventilators, and [develop] protective gear][6]." COVID tools, datasets, and research findings were also shared openly on GitHub for others to use and collaborate on.

Congratulations to the beloved Java language on reaching the quarter-century mark!

Of the applications submitted by the July deadline, 20 projects were [selected to continue][9] to the challenge's second phase. Five were invited to participate in the third phase, with the winner to be announced in April 2021.

### CERN uses open source platform Ceph for storage
|
||||
|

Ceph is an open source software-defined storage platform. It implements object storage on a single distributed computer cluster and powers several research centers' projects, including [CERN's particle physics research][10], Tim Hildred reports. This continues CERN's push, which [began in 2019][11], to use open source software.

||||
### CNCF takes charge of Red Hat's Operator Framework
|
||||
|
||||
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) hosts various projects, including Kubernetes, to advance container technology, and it runs the world's largest open source developer conferences. In 2020, [CNCF took on Red Hat's Operator Framework][12], an open source toolkit for managing Kubernetes-native applications in an automated and scalable way. "The increasing number of projects and code in the stewardship of neutral foundations like the CNCF is a testament to the power of collaboration," writes Tim Hildred.

|
||||
|
||||
Correspondent Lauren Maffeo writes that the German states of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg [deployed Element][13], an open source messaging platform, to their education system with 500,000 users. It was an exciting leap for open source in the collaboration software market, which has been led by closed source applications like Slack, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. Several open source collaboration projects, including [Element][14], [Mattermost][15], and [Jitsi][16], took big strides during the COVID-19 pandemic.

|
||||

Strapi, an open source, headless CMS for building powerful APIs, [announced general availability][17] five years after its first commit, hundreds of contributors participating, and more than a million downloads, shares Jeff Macharyas. Used by organizations from small businesses to Global 500 companies, Strapi is a testament to the staying power of open source projects backed by a community of users and contributors.

|
||||
|
||||
Wireguard, the open source communication protocol for virtual private networks (VPNs), was [merged into the Linux Kernel codebase][18] in January, says Correspondent Don Watkins.
