Mike Morris - Gateway API GAMMA leadership succession

[Michael Morris]

Hi y'all,

I'd like to formally announce I'll be stepping down from my role as a co-lead of the Gateway API GAMMA initiative.

I'm incredibly proud of the progress we've made over the past year bringing the expansion of Gateway API to East/West service mesh use cases from a vague idea to the cusp of an implementable spec, and I’m excited for new leadership to continue this work as it expands beyond basic routing capabilities to more advanced mesh functionality.

I've discussed this with the other Gateway API and GAMMA leads already, and initially announced this during the June 6th GAMMA meeting. I’m not quite sure if GAMMA falls under the formal jurisdiction of the SIG/WG leadership changes procedure, but I’ll suggest following that process and having this this email mark the beginning of the one week lazy consensus period, with the following proposal becoming effective Tuesday, June 20th, 2023 if there are no objections.

I'd like to nominate Flynn from Bouyant (Linkerd) to replace me. Flynn has been an active presence in the GAMMA meetings, has contributed substantially towards helping advance this work, and I think it will be important to maintain a diversity of service mesh representation in GAMMA leadership.

Please reach out to me directly via email (michael.pat...@gmail.com) or on the Kubernetes Slack (@mike), the GAMMA leads (@Keith Matrix, @John Howard) or the Gateway API leads (@Rob Scott, @shane, @youngnick, @bowei) with any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Mike

[Rob Scott]

Thanks so much for all your leadership across Gateway API, GAMMA, and the rest of the Kubernetes ecosystem! You've been very instrumental in bringing the mesh ecosystem together around GAMMA. Thanks for everything!

Also a big +1 to Flynn as a new lead for GAMMA. 

Rob

Mike, many thanks for everything you've done with GAMMA and the Gateway API (and for the kind words from you and Rob). I'm sorry to see you go – you're leaving a big pair of shoes to fill!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! The lazy consensus period has now lapsed, and I’d like to congratulate Flynn on officially moving into the GAMMA co-leadership role.
