Coming hot on the heels of our repository migration - here's the official @cncf.io announcement of Agones moving to sandbox. Delighted to be joined by friends from Ubisoft on this one with our upcoming keynote!
Just in time for Kubecon EU this week, Agones moves it's repository over to CNCF, and we've officially become a sandbox project in the CNCF - which is a HUGE milestone! 🎉
We've still got some pieces to migrate over, and lots of onboarding, but you can now find us at:
github.com/agones-de...
Now I'm out from under GDC, I can focus my attention on Kubecon EU coming up next week!
Who is going to be around and wants to talk about backends for multiplayer games, Agones, open source or just share pictures of our dogs?
Drop me an line!
Dog looking disappointed
Look, I'm excited to be heading back to #GDC again today (and you should definitely come to the Discord booth and talks!), but I had to deal with this look of disappointment leaving the house today, and that was very hard.
Heading to #GDC next week?

For Ubisoft, delivering seamless multiplayer experiences to a global player base is an infrastructure challenge of massive scale. It requires managing thousands of game servers with a global footprint and absolute resilience. Join us to see how Ubisoft solves this by leveraging Agones, the open-source game server scaling engine on Kubernetes. We will dive into the real-world use case and production data behind Ubisoft's fleets, demonstrating why they bet on cloud-native tech. Along the way, we’ll trace Agones' evolution from its origins at Google to its current home in the CNCF—showing how a community-driven standard is now powering the biggest names in the industry.
With Agones moving to @cncf.io, I'm excited to be keynoting Kubecon EU with Jean-François Hubert, Development Director at Ubisoft (albeit for 3 minutes, But it'll be fun I promise! 😆)
We're doing a runthrough of how Ubisoft orchestrates multiplayer games with Agones!

I need a t-shirt that says: "Warning: Will ask for an agenda for a meeting".
Looking forward to seeing many of you at GDC! Drop me a line if you want to catch up, I'll be around!
Doing all the good things, Discord stuff, Agones stuff, open source things, booth talks, GDC talks, lots of fun things.
Also here's everything we're doing at Discord 👇🏻

Ever send a Discord invite and then have to remember to assign roles when they join? What if you could embed the roles directly ✨ in the invite itself? ✨
You can now do that with Community Invites! Come learn how next Tuesday with Anthony Tešija and I 👇🏻

ahahahahahaha..... _wipes tear from eye_
Quickshell is great for bashing out quick UI tooling you wish you had for your desktop shell. Building a window overview was disturbingly easy to do.

My old stuff IS still there. My blog died a long time around though.
Myself and a few others write this up every year - hope you find it useful, and see you at GDC!
By emotional support I mean she's standing on whatever I need most.
Juniper standing on desk frame
The emotional support I get from this dog while constructing new furniture...
Need more boxes
That's the floor 😆
All the games on the shelf!
Omg. I did it.
If those Kickstarters and preorders go through though, I'm in trouble.
More games
Not enough space for the games.
All on one shelf might have been optimistic.
Anyone got a spare TARDIS?
Don't need the trying travel bit, just the inside being bigger than the outside bit.
Some games on a shelf. There is still space
More games on the shelves. It's getting messy and there is less space.
I think this is progress? Or something? It started so neat. Why do we have so many?
Check out agones.dev/site/docs... - you'll notice way more content about Agones from people that use it!
Get case studies & tutorials from the likes of Krafton, @playstation.com, Nintendo, @awscloud.bsky.social, Google Cloud & more.
As a challenge -- can you find something I missed? 😆
I may have bought myself a new Secretlab desk as a forcing function to rearrange and clean out my study.
🎉 Big news over the weekend for Agones!
The application for Agones to join @cncf.io at the Sandbox level is now live!
Now we wait for the CNCF TOC to review and (hopefully 🤞🏻) approve!
🙏🏻 Huge thanks to literally everyone who ever contributed to this project!
Bought new Nest Wifi pro because the WiFi in the house was being weird and spotty for multiple days.
WiFi is now back to normal, because of course it is.
I think this is the answer
I think you mean "person in Devrelll" ☺️
Is it "Devreller" or "Devreler" ? 🤔
Sometimes I wonder if my career in developer relations, is just me preemptively failing at being an improv comic 😆
