This talk was presented at the Grafana & Friends Barcelona meetup, a joint meetup with the Barcelona Apache Kafka community.

Grafana is powerful on its own, but its true potential lies in its vibrant community of plugin developers. In this talk, we’ll explore how community plugins extend Grafana’s core functionality, enabling you to connect to a broader range of data sources and visualize your data in new ways. As a practical example, we’ll introduce the Kafka Data Source plugin and demonstrate how it enables you to directly query and visualize Kafka topic data in your dashboards, eliminating the need for intermediate storage or external services.

This talk was presented at KCD Edinburgh 2025: https://sessionize.com/view/yz0a7tia/GridSmart?format=Embed_Styled_Html&isDark=false&title=KCD%20UK%20Edinburgh%202025

Thinking about contributing to a CNCF project? Does it seem daunting, or perhaps you feel it’s too late to start at this stage in your career? You might be surprised to learn that it’s more accessible than you think!

In this session, I’ll share my journey as a first-time contributor to OpenTelemetry, providing a roadmap from initial interest to a successful contribution. You’ll gain practical tips on finding the right project and those good first-time issues. We’ll explore the crucial role of mentorship, especially for individuals from underrepresented groups, and how the supportive OpenTelemetry community can guide you through the process.

I aim to inspire you – whether you’re from an underrepresented background or believe your chance to contribute has passed – to take the plunge and discover the rewarding world of open source. You’ll leave with actionable insights and the confidence to begin your own contribution journey.
