Dear CNCF Chairs and Project Maintainers,
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 will be taking place on 1-4 April 2025 in London, England. We invite CNCF Chairs of TAGs and SIGs and Maintainers from graduated, incubating, and sandbox projects to review and sign-up for the project opportunities at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025.
- Maintainer Summit (31 March) - an exclusive event for the people behind our projects to gather face-to-face, collaborate, and celebrate the projects that make “Cloud Native”. Submit
- Project Lightning Talks (1 April) - Projects will have the opportunity to showcase their recent updates, features, and other highlights to their peers via 5 minute lightning talks. Submit
- Maintainer Track (2 - 4 April) - Leaders of CNCF Graduated and Incubating Projects and Activities can submit to host one 35-minute session during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon within the Maintainer Track. Submit
- Contribfest (2 - 4 April) - 90-minute in-person sessions designed to provide projects with the space and resources to tackle outstanding technical debt, security issues, or outstanding impactful feature requests. Submit
- Project Pavilion Kiosk (2-4 April) - A kiosk provides the opportunity for the project to have an ambassador and/or maintainer available to engage and collaborate with attendees in-person. Submit
Please visit the Project Opportunities page to learn more about the benefits, deadlines, how to sign up and more.
Kindly note that due to high demand, space is limited and there is a high possibility that not all projects will be able to participate as we are not able to accept all requests.
The deadline to submit both a CFP for Maintainer Track, ContribFest, and Project Lightning Talk as well as the interest form for a Project Pavilion kiosk and PR support is Wednesday, 11 December.
The Maintainer Summit CFP has two submission deadlines: Wave 1*: Sunday, 8 Dec | Wave 2: Sunday, 12 January. (23:59 CEST).
*We recommend you submit during wave 1 if you need to apply for scholarship funding and/or need additional time for company travel approvals. Keep in mind that scholarship opportunities will close before wave 2 speaker notifications are sent.
Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Projects...@linuxfoundation.org.
Best,
CNCF Events Team
