Kapil Thangavelu, CTO and co-founder of Stacklet.io and the leading force behind an open source project called Cloud Custodian, talks about his journey in open source, beginning with his transition from Windows to dabbling in Linux, marking his shift toward open source development. He talks about the creation and development of Cloud Custodian while at Capital One, highlighting how the cloud management tool has grown to adopt multiple cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle, and Tencent Cloud. He gives credit to the tool's vast community of over 400 contributors, and thousands of users, and attributes its success to welcoming contributions, not only in the form of code but also in essential non-code contributions like documentation. He ends the conversation by addressing the future of open source, expressing concern over changes in licenses and tailoring open source projects to fit into a more commercial, rather than a community-based landscape.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
