Steering Committee Nomination: Sean McGinnis (@stmcginnis)

[Sean McGinnis]

Hello everyone,

I want to self-nominate for the 2025 Kubernetes Steering Committee Election.

I started contributing to Kubernetes [in December 2017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57475), initially as mostly a personal interest. Happily, I am one of the lucky people that now has an employer that values and supports upstream contributions.

I've made various contributions across SIG ContribEx, SIG Cluster Lifecycle, SIG Release, and SIG Testing, recently becoming a maintainer on `kind`. I've been involved in helping organize the Contributor Summit / Maintainer Summit. I have been a program committee or track chair for several KubeCon events, and spoken at a couple. I am a CNCF Ambassador and have been a release shadow for the 1.33 and 1.34 releases. I am on the Kubernetes Code of Conduct Committee.

My goal is to help foster collaboration and communication across teams. I believe helping shape the goals and policies driven by the steering committee can have a large impact on community growth, collaboration, and contributor experience.

If you've read this far and you're an eligible voter (https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/elections/steering/2025/voters.yaml) and would be willing to endorse me, I would really appreciate that! Please comment on https://github.com/kubernetes/community/issues/8574 saying something like "I endorse this nominee, and I work for " or "+1". Please state that you are an eligible voter and include your employer's name so that Election Officers can recognize qualified endorsements.

Thanks for your consideration!  
Sean McGinnis
