The importance of balancing the need for continued enhancements, +managing stability of the code base, all while ensuring the community of +developers and users feel their contributions (from code, issues and feedback) +are welcome, respected and addressed in a timely fashion can not +be understated. This will require people who can consider the challenges +from multiple perspective, not just from a developer's. + +I believe that my background in the open communities I've been involved with +have given me a good perspective on what works, what doesn't and which might +be best for an organization like Kubernetes. + |
