Through our Co-Create program, they collaborate directly with us to design, build, and deliver product improvements that benefit more teams. In the first half of 2026, our users helped us extend APIs, add CI/CD capabilities, expand language support for AI-powered code understanding, strengthen security controls, increase the flexibility of integrations, and make GitLab easier to use and understand. Co-Create gives customers a direct path from a real-world challenge to a product improvement. Customers collaborate with us on the problem and solution, and help deliver the change. Unlike a feedback-only model, this puts real workflow context into the product development process. It creates a shorter path from need to value while helping us validate improvements in real conditions and extend their benefits to more GitLab users. "Over ten years ago, we set out to build code.siemens.com, our internal coding platform based on GitLab, which today serves close to 100,000 people. We've run and scaled the platform with a tiny team, guided by a 'for developers, from developers' philosophy. We co-created hundreds of features such as x509/gpg signed commits, protected container/packages, and project and social features such as follow users, allowing us to strengthen the security and collaboration culture at the scale of Siemens." -- Roger Meier, Distinguished Engineer, Siemens From a specific need to a shared improvement Some of the best product improvements start with a specific, real-world need. GitLab contributors helped us address the following needs: Making Scala codebases understandable to Orbit and GitLab Duo Giving security administrators a way to enforce Secret Push Protection across an entire instance Letting high-throughput teams configure merge train pipeline limits Showing the platforms supported by multi-architecture images Providing screen reader users with more context on documentation pa ## The First Ever Zephyr Maintainers Forum DevFeed: [The First Ever Zephyr Maintainers Forum]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Zephyr Project Published: 2026-09-09T11:51:29Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Zephyr Project]() Topics: [Maintainers](), [Open Source]() Tags: [2026](), [blog](), [contributors](), [europe](), [event](), [events](), [industry-conference](), [location](), [maintainers](), [open-source](), [open-source-summit](), [summit](), [technical]() ### AI overview The Zephyr Maintainers Forum will take place on October 6, 2026, at the Prague Congress Centre alongside Open Source Summit Europe.

This stop: San Francisco Bay Area. Coming up on September 1, 2026 is the second KCD San Francisco Bay Area, held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. We spoke with three of its organizers, Rey Lejano, Lisa-Marie Namphy, and Jason (Jay) Smith, about what makes the Bay Area community tick. Meet the community Kashish Verma (KV): Could you each introduce yourselves and tell us how you got involved in Kubernetes? Rey Lejano (RL): I'm one of the KCD San Francisco Bay Area organizers, a Kubernetes SIG Docs co-chair and SIG Security subproject lead, and I work at Red Hat. I've served on seven Release Teams, including as the v1.23 Release Lead. A conversation with a Kubernetes contributor at the 2019 KubeCon in San Diego is what pulled me into contributing to the project. Lisa-Marie Namphy (LN): Hi! I'm Lisa-Marie Namphy (Lisa), I've been a CNCF Ambassador since the early days of the program and have run one of the largest Kubernetes/Cloud Native user groups for over 10 years, now called Cloud Native Silicon Valley.

It also highlights ongoing systems-programming work on ownership and lifetime features. ### Source excerpt Welcome to "What's new in Swift," a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community. Swift is built by contributors working on far more than the language and compiler. Alexander Sandberg reflects on what that kind of contribution looks like, and why there's a place for you too: Hi, I'm Alex. Four years ago I joined the Swift Website Workgroup to help care for the website you're reading this on. I was still fairly new to the Swift community then, but I wanted to get involved somehow and make a difference. Contributing to Swift sounds like it should involve working on the compiler or writing and reviewing language evolution proposals, but there's a lot going on around the language itself too. What I actually spent my time doing was helping improve the site's content and navigation, taking part in the big redesign, writing release blog posts, reviewing pull requests, and answering issues and forum posts. All of it is work anyone can learn to do, and all of it ends up in front of everyone who comes to Swift.org--which made even the smallest fixes feel worth doing. The Website Workgroup happened to be my way in, but there are groups like it across the project--server, testing, Windows, Android, and more--each a handful of people looking after their part of the ecosystem. Whatever you're good at or curious about, there's probably a corner of Swift that could use your help. The community page is a good place to start looking, and the people you'll meet are some of the friendliest I've come across in open source. After four years, I've stepped away to focus on other things in life. Thank you to everyone I got to work with over these years! I'm leaving the workgroup, but not the community, and I'll still be around helping push Swift forward where I can. For more information about workgroups, the How we work page lists all workgroups. And on the Swift forums you'll often see workgroups sharing open meetings if you're looking to get involved ## ClickHouse Release 26.7 DevFeed: [ClickHouse Release 26.7]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: ClickHouse Published: 2026-08-06T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [ClickHouse Blog]() Topics: [clickhouse](), [SQL](), [AI search]() Tags: [analytics](), [bug](), [clickhouse](), [community](), [contributed](), [contributors](), [performance](), [release](), [search](), [sql](), [vector]() ### AI overview ClickHouse Release 26.7 introduces 61 new features, 112 performance optimizations, and 329 bug fixes.
