Developer News

KubeCon NA Salt Lake City was last week! The Kubernetes Contributor Summit was held on Monday, November 11th. Find the photos and meeting notes from the unconference discussions here.

When one Kubecon ends, another one starts: the CfP is open for the Maintainer Summit at Kubecon London. The Summit includes the Kubernetes Contributor Summit plus collaboration with other projects. CfPs for Kubecon Main Track and Colo Events are open as well. And if you’re going to be in Kubecon India, don’t skip the Maintainer Summit there.

There have been some updates to SIG leadership. Richa Banker is nominated as the new chair for SIG Instrumentation and Marko Mudrinić is nominated as a Tech Lead for SIG K8S Infra. Congratulations and thank you for all your work!
