Query Con 2018: our talks and takeaways

Summary: Kolide hosted the first-ever osquery conference, QueryCon, at the Palace of the Fine Arts in San Francisco, drawing over 120 attendees and 16 speakers from security teams at Facebook, Airbnb, Yelp, Atlassian, Adobe, Netflix, and Salesforce. As of that week, osquery's Slack had 1,703 users, 431 active in the last 30 days, and 120 of them attended the sold-out event.

Bottom line: Facebook's small dedicated osquery team will keep handling testing, version management, and code and community standards, but the article states it is up to the community to take care of the rest - so the tool's direction depends on whether 431 active users turn into contributors.
