From the Executive Director

The conference season is well and truly upon us and I’m pleased to be speaking at a number of them during the next few months.  It’s also great to see more sessions on Confidential Computing being accepted by program committees: if you or a colleague is presenting at a conference session, please let the Outreach committee know so that we can spread the word via the newsletter, social media and beyond.

NVIDIA Premier Membership

I’m also very glad to be able to welcome NVIDIA as a Premier Member.  They have been with the CCC for a while, but have recently moved up to Premier, with Michael O’Connor serving as their GB representative.  In fact, we’re beginning to see an uptick in engagement by members across the committees, SIGs and beyond: this can only help the goals of the CCC as we make the most of the opportunities that are arising as the ecosystem realizes the benefits that Confidential Computing can bring.

I hope to see you at one of the conferences we’re attending: please let us know if you’re going to be at any of them – details available on the website under Events.

Announcing Our New SIG: Bridging the Gap Between Linux Kernel and Confidential Computing Developers

We’re thrilled to unite two groups within the same company who haven’t always been in communication: Linux Kernel developers and Confidential Computing developers. While some individuals may straddle both roles, often they represent distinct disciplines.
