Resigning as SIG Instrumentation Chair

[Elana Hashman]

Hi friends,

My apologies for the radio silence. I have been struggling with severe health issues over the past two years that have required long periods of medical leave from work and reduced hours.

I am simply unable to give SIG Instrumentation the time and attention it deserves, and so I am resigning as co-chair.

It's hard to believe it's been over 5 years since I joined the SIG in 2018. I especially want to thank Han Kang and David Ashpole, who have served as my steadfast co-leads since I stepped up into a chair role in the SIG; Frederic Branczyk, who helped me first get involved, walked me through coauthoring my first KEP, and served as co-chair and TL for many years; Marek Siarkowicz, who has done so much heavy lifting behind the scenes of the SIG, culminating in launching the structured logging WG; and Damien Grisonnet, our newest TL, who I regret not getting the opportunity to work with more. We have many long-time active members and many amazing newcomers, both in core Kubernetes instrumentation development and the subprojects we steward like kube-state-metrics, and I'm proud to have worked with you all and served one of the finest SIGs in the project.

Be well,

- e

I want to wish you the best of luck with your health and express my appreciation for all you've done with the SIG over the years. We've come a long ways (and grown a bunch!) as a SIG over the past 5 years and in large part that's because of your contributions and leadership. We're really going to miss having you around... 

Having talked a bit with Elana and Pranshu offline, I'd like to nominate Pranshu Srivastava (of Red Hat/@rexagod on github) to step in, in Elana's place. Pranshu has been an incredible contributor to our SIG, most notably for his contributions to kube-state-metrics, and I have complete faith in his ability to navigate SIG leadership to help us steady the ship.

I hope you are doing well Elana, and I wish you the best for your health. I feel fortunate to have witnessed your commitment towards the SIG, ever since I joined, and be able to draw inspiration from that. I'd also like to thank Han for nominating me for this position, which I am happy to accept.

Best,

/p

Sorry to hear that. Hope you will recover soon! 

Yes, health is more important than work (from my opinion).  I find these can help: 1. more outdoor exercise 2.  be happy 3. forget the past troubles

Agree on nominating Pranshu (from Red Hat). Pranshu added several features to kube-state-metrics quickly, which is what I am trying to learn from (get things done quickly).

You've done so much for the SIG, Elana, and we've definitely missed you. I hope you recover quickly, and look forward to you dropping by unannounced when you are feeling better.

I support Pranshu as co-chair. He has shown great dedication to the SIG, and good leadership for KSM.

Sorry to see you leave Elana. It's a huge loss to SIG-instrumentation.  Thank you for your enormous contribution and leadership. Hope you a full and speedy recovery and all the best wishes for your next chapter!
