April 2023 Summaries

Gitpod is hosting the third annual conference, CDE Universe, a two-day single track event with 100 participants in San Francisco on June 1-2, 2023. The conference aims to bring together visionaries, builders, and practitioners of Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) for networking, learning, and discussing solutions. This year's focus is on cloud development, with speakers from leading software companies such as Shopify, Stripe, Uber, and MongoDB sharing their experiences and insights. The conference will be moderated by Pauline Narvas, Gitpod’s Head of Community. Tickets are available for purchase on the conference website.

Gitpod has introduced changes to its approach to organizations, billing, and cost attribution based on user feedback. Organizations (orgs) now equate to a company and fully own resources such as workspaces, projects, settings, and Single Sign-On users in the near future. Personal accounts have been deprecated and turned into an organization with the same name, with billing moved from user settings to org settings. Cost attribution will soon be attributed to the org that owns the resource, making it clearer and easier to understand. These changes are set to roll out over the next few weeks.
