The inaugural Kong Community Call, attended by 37 participants, featured an engaging demo and discussions that highlighted the enthusiasm of the community. Ross Sbriscia and Jeremy Justus presented the Spec Expose plugin for Optum, sharing insights on the role of open source software in enterprises, while Thibault Charbonnier provided an overview of debugging resources for Kong plugins. The call also covered Kong 1.0 updates and Kong Summit announcements, with recordings available for those who missed it. The second call, held on October 16, included a Hacktoberfest-themed introduction to contributing to Kong documentation by Cooper Marcus and a plugin demo from Okta. Participants are encouraged to join future calls, propose topics, and stay updated through an open Google doc agenda.
