**Topic 1 **- Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background, as you’ve been working on developer productivity for quite a while?
**Topic 2 **- We’ve been watching this trend of GitHub moving from a place where developers put code, to a place where they collaborate around code, and now it’s expanding out to a full lifecycle around both the code and running applications. Let’s talk about that evolution.
**Topic 3 **- Help us understand the basics of GitHub Actions and GitHub Packages.
**Topic 4 **- What sort of feedback was coming in from developers that pushed GitHub to get more involved in the complete DevOps lifecycle?
**Topic 5 **- Can you talk about the growth of Actions/Packages since they launched in early 2019? What are some of the interesting use-cases you’ve seen?
**Topic 6 **- If you’re able to give us a glimpse into the future, what are some of the other areas where GitHub can expand Actions, or you’re starting to see users push it’s capabilities?
