Topic 1 - Let’s talk about the history of serverless within the CNCF, and maybe within the context of PaaS and Kubernetes.

Topic 2 - When talking about Serverless, there seem to be 4 areas to dissect:

• The thing that executes the function (is this a container orchestrator)
• The data sources that can be on either side of the function execution 
• The developer experience (or lack of experience)
• Billing/Usage/Metering

Topic 3 - What were your key takeaways from reading the CNCF Serverless whitepaper?

Topic 4 - What about Operations? Do those jobs go away? Are there Ops uses for serverless?
