The 2018 North American Kubernetes Contributor Summit to be hosted right before
|
2018-10-16 20:29:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
[KubeCon + CloudNativeCon][kubecon] Seattle is shaping up to be the largest yet.
|

|
|
|
|
It is an event that brings together new and current contributors alike to
|
|
|
|
|
|
connect and share face-to-face; and serves as an opportunity for existing
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributors to help shape the future of community development. For new
|
|
|
|
|
|
community members, it offers a welcoming space to learn, explore and put the
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributor workflow to practice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike previous Contributor Summits, the event now spans two-days with a more
|
|
|
|
|
|
relaxed ‘hallway’ track and general Contributor get-together to be hosted from
|
|
|
|
|
|
5-8pm on Sunday December 9th at the [Garage Lounge and Gaming Hall][garage], just
|
|
|
|
|
|
a short walk away from the Convention Center. There, contributors can enjoy
|
|
|
|
|
|
billiards, bowling, trivia and more; accompanied by a variety of food and drink.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things pick up the following day, Monday the 10th with three separate tracks:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### New Contributor Workshop:
|
|
|
|
|
|
A half day workshop aimed at getting new and first time contributors onboarded
|
|
|
|
|
|
and comfortable with working within the Kubernetes Community. Staying for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
duration is required; this is not a workshop you can drop into.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Current Contributor Track:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reserved for those that are actively engaged with the development of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
project; the Current Contributor Track includes Talks, Workshops, Birds of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feather, Unconferences, Steering Committee Sessions, and more! Keep an eye on
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Docs Sprint:
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
