+
+I strongly believe that Cloud Computing will continue to change the world in profound ways, 
+and that Kubernetes is a key catalyst of that change.

+I believe that we need to create both a
+thriving, collaborative community, and freaking awesome software that
+people love to use, everywhere.  So I'd
+like to offer my broad and deep experience and passion to help
+us get there.
+
+More specifically:
+
+- ensure that Kubernetes remains a fun place to develop stuff that
+  people love to use.
+- incentivize constructive, productive and sustainable progress.
+- protect what we build from bad things happening.
