We need to make sure to include the PR/marketing here as well, with quotes and more. If needed, a new issue could be created for it.

If we provide support for DORA metrics, that's something we should stress in the announcement and in our documentation

Planned press release:

CDEvents Releases v0.1

CDF recently announced it is hosting the CDEvents project, a vendor-neutral specification for defining the format and information model of event data to enable interoperability across services, platforms and systems used in the software production ecosystem.

The first release version of the CDEvents spec v0.1.0 is being announced. It covers events spanning from configuration management systems, through CI and CD, enough to calculate DevOps metrics like the lead time for changes and deployment frequency.

CDEvents v0.1.0 features versioned schemas for all events and SDKs in Golang and Python to help tools produce and consume CDEvents. A Java SDK is being worked on as well. The first release includes a CloudEvents binding, so it supports out-of-the-box transport over several different messaging systems.

The current release of the CDEvents specification is available here. For more information, the CDEvents project has published their first whitepaper called: CDEvents: The Next Evolution in CI/CD Technologies.
