SIG Docs Leadership Changes
Natali Vlatko
A huge hello from SIG Docs!
2024 is already setting out to be a big year for our SIG, with three Tech Leads stepping down and moving on to different areas of the project.
Karen Bradshaw, Taylor Dolezal, and Tim Bannister have all served as SIG Docs Tech Leads for many years; their contributions and improvements to Kubernetes docs, blogs, and our project's website have been tremendous in their impact. We want to extend a giant and sincere thank you to them all for their time, expertise, and stewardship of the Kubernetes documentation. Please join us in congratulating them on their soon-to-be Emeritus status!
While all three folks will step back fully from their Tech Lead roles, Tim Bannister will continue to be an approver/reviewer of the Kubernetes Blog for the time being, focusing on growing the subproject team and handing it over to a new lead. If you’re interested in joining the blog team as a reviewer, we want to hear from you. Tim will also continue to be a reviewer/approver for the English documentation long term, while Karen and Taylor step back from these duties.
On behalf of the current SIG Docs leadership team (Divya Mohan, Rey Lejano, Qiming Teng, and myself), we're proposing the following changes to our leadership roster:
Xander Grzywinski is being nominated as a new Tech Lead for SIG Docs
Kat Cosgrove is also being nominated as a new Tech Lead for SIG Docs
Rey Lejano will step into a temporary Tech Lead role, alongside his Co-chair duties, to help with this transition
Arsh Sharma has stepped down as New Contributor Ambassador, with Sreeram Venkitesh taking on this role
Dipesh Rawat is officially joining our approvers team for the website
Xander has been a regular and dependable contributor and maintainer of Kubernetes across SIG Release, SIG ContribEx, and most recently, SIG Docs. We're excited for Xander to step into an SME role for some of our less-loved subprojects.
Kat was instrumental in pushing for the changes SIG Docs asked for in the release process of the project, ensuring docs weren't a mismanaged or forgotten part of the enhancements process. We're thrilled to give Kat a little more work and pile on to her other role as Release Team Subproject lead.
Arsh served diligently as our first New Contributor Ambassador, helping new community members find their feet amongst SIG Docs and the rest of the project. Arsh passes on the baton to Sreeram, who has gone above and beyond to help contributors of all expertise levels navigate our SIG. We’re excited to see Sreeram continue to shine in this new role.
Dipesh is a brilliant example of how the contributor ladder works in Kubernetes; his involvement in SIG Docs has helped him move up the different stages of contribution, where we hope to keep nurturing his growth and expertise as one of our approvers and new PR Wranglers. Congratulations, Dipesh!
The lazy consensus deadline for this proposal is one week from the date of this email: May 8, 2024 (EOD in any timezone). This email is sent in accordance with the process updates for SIG leadership transitions.
