BazelCon Keynote
summary
Bazel traces to about 2014, hits open-source 1.0 with semantic versioning and long‑term support, and prepares Bazel 8 while governance shifts: BazelCon governance moved to the Linux Foundation and many repos move into a new bazel-contrib org. The ecosystem shows 625 contributors to bazelbuild in the last year, community PRs already fix production bugs, a weekly technical steering committee coordinates projects, and a proposed directed fund seeks ~five companies to underwrite staffing.
