Update on End of Year Contributor Celebration Event
Chris Short
Hello all,
The Kubernetes end-of-year Contributor Celebration[1] is quickly approaching. If you haven’t registered and want to participate, please register as soon as possible[2].
The team is putting together a few fun activities during the celebration. The event is scheduled from 16th-19th December 2021.
More information about the specific events can be found on the schedule[3]. We also have an FAQ[4] available, should you have any questions.
What is happening during the Kubernetes end-of-year Contributor Celebration? Great question! Here is what we have lined up so far:
Kubernetes Contributor Awards[5]: Kubernetes SIG Co-Chairs and Tech Leads would like you to attend this special event where we honor and dedicate the hard work that the community has been working on. These peer awards are a tradition at the Kubernetes Contributor Summits, so we are bringing them virtual. Please join us to thank and support all the people who have worked hard to help us this year.
Most Extreme Kubernetes Challenge - DevOps Party Game[6]: “DevOps Party Games takes the idea of “online party games” and tilts it on its head by adding DevOps-inspired content to existing games, and then streams it live via Twitch for a worldwide audience to watch, comment, and hopefully be entertained. In addition, the hosts (Matt Stratton, Jeremy Meiss, and Dan Maher) will provide color commentary, much like a modern day Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks (announcers from Dodgeball).” There will be a Kubernetes slant for this edition of DevOps Party Games.
The Great Cloud Native Bake Off 2021[7]: We take cooking and baking pretty seriously in the Cloud Native ecosystem; we do have a Cloud Native Community Cookbook[8], after all. “We will be selecting 6 to 8 Kubernetes contributors to participate in the second annual BakeOff (K8sBO). No professional experience is required … just enthusiasm, availability, and the willingness to wash a lot of dishes.” If you’re interested in baking, please sign up for the Bake Off[9] as soon as possible.
There’ll be more announcements and details to follow so please stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the event.
