Hi all,

It’s been five or so years since I’ve become a SIG chair. First I want to say how incredibly proud I am of what we managed to accomplish during this time: metrics became a formal API, we auto-generate documentation on every single Kubernetes metric, tracing was injected into kubernetes, structured and contextual logging has made strides, and now we even have z-pages on the way. I remember many of the SIG meetings that I attended 6 years ago consisted of exactly me and branczyk. Today, we have a much deeper bench and a considerably healthier and engaged community, with a number of interesting subprojects that many people depend on.

After much reflection, I’ve decided the next KubeCon (in Salt Lake City) is a good time to step down, where I intend to officially represent SIG Instrumentation one last time. Afterwards, I propose Richa Banker succeed me as chair. Richa has not only the correct sort of eager temperament (Richa wants to make everything better), but already has contributed to multiple streams in instrumentation (component SLIs, z-pages), while also participating regularly in our triage and bi-weekly meetings, even giving featured SIG talks with us at various KubeCons. She’s already doing the work successfully, which demonstrates she is already qualified. 


All the best,

@logicalhan (Han Kang)

P.S. I’m not actually going anywhere, I’ll still be around, doing random stuff like participating in PRR.

Han,

Please accept my deepest gratitude for your exceptional leadership as SIG Instrumentation chair. Your dedication and the initiatives you spearheaded have significantly benefited the SIG (and by extension, the Kubernetes project) and laid a strong foundation for future progress.

It is a true honor to be nominated for this position, which I gladly accept. I am humbled by your confidence in my capabilities and look forward to working with the community to further the SIG's objectives and contribute to its continued success.


Thanks,

Richa

Thanks for everything you've done for the SIG, Han. I look forward to seeing what you do next, and I'm glad you aren't going far. Thanks in advance for many PRR reviews to come. Richa has been a welcome addition to the SIG, and her work has been invaluable. I'm sure she will make a great chair, and look forward to seeing the impact she brings.

Thanks, Han, for your many years of service in the best SIG in Kubernetes :) I remember some of those lonely meetings when you first joined the SIG and really energized things!

Congratulations to Richa for carrying the torch.
