## SIGS
- SIG Contributor Experience
- emeritus co-chair (8000 to 50000 contributors)
- subproject owner: events, mentoring, communication, community-mgmt, community
- Steering Committee
- Liaison for: SIG Testing, Multicluster, Security, Storage, wg-data-protection
- SIG Docs
- CNCF Governing Board: Kubernetes Representative
## What I have done
I’ve spent the last 50 months having the pleasure to serve the upstream community in some of the following ways:
- Governance
- Operations:
- Building, growing, and maintaining our communication tools that allow for transparency and collaboration; also creating community, policy, and support systems for those who maintain them
- Revamped quarterly community meeting structure for SIGs to annual reports which levels up work to end users; better communication of our needs
- Policies:
- Drafted Steerings current policy on term limits. Term definitions and limits help our succession plans and give new voices a path forward in the project.
- Visibility of roles within the project on sig-governance.md and many other policies that involve inclusion and operations
- revamped sig-wg-lifecycle.md, sig-governance.md, and more
- Advocacy:
- I’m here to serve. I advocate for supporting our contributors and maintainers needs/interests; sometimes these interests intersect with social and human rights movements vs pure code and engineering topics.
- Contributor Growth and Sustainability
- Growing our roles and supporting it’s leadership
- Build community for community group leaders (100+) via #chairsandtechleads, monthly meetings, onboarding, and other activities
- Creation of additional roles within the project and the visibility of them
- Encouraging and drafting succession plans, identifying staffing gaps
- How we communicate as a project; bootstrapped the current upstream marketing team to help us with outreach and guidance
- Creating and scaling mentoring programs (example: group mentoring) that aren’t 1:1 and/or lots of burden on owners/maintainers
## What I'll do
In what would be my final term, I want to carry out projects still in flight and continue to progress Kubernetes forward within our values:
- Grow and sustain a community of strong leaders via:
- more leadership training,
- sustainable staffing models,
- and advocate for their needs / reduce toil
- Communication projects:
- how we communicate our needs to end users and cncf community
- Add a communications/outreach/PR wrangler or like role to Steering to make sure we’ve communicated effectively
- Community group health checks via annual reports:
- Relieve the administrative burden from chairs and automate some of the process from annual reports
- Continue to work with the entire Steering body to work on sustainable staffing with the Governing Board
