We have several days of keynotes at GCP Next and way more to share throughout the week. But for the curious, there's a serverless spotlight session at 1:55 today that will cover this, as well as a Knative-specific talk at 4:35.

We decided to announce this first thing with the blog posts just to get the word out as soon as possible and give our amazing partners (Pivotal, SAP, RedHat, IBM, and more) a chance to share their news as well.

And frankly, it's just more fun to run an open source project out in the open, so we were pretty keen to flip the git repo bits to public as early as we could. : )
