| 21 | +Building and maintaining and open source project takes a village. In a |
| 22 | +mini-series on this blog we would like to highlight the work of our |
| 23 | +maintainers, component owners, and members of the larger community. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Today we're meeting [Jonathan Gonzalez](https://github.com/sxd/), Senior |
| 26 | +Kubernetes Developer at EDB and CloudNativePG maintainer. Jonathan is part |
| 27 | +of the team that originally started the project. His first "real" contribution |
| 28 | +to the project was a commit to implement the status of PostgreSQL, a "long, |
| 29 | +long time ago". So historic in fact, we can't find the link, but for more |
| 30 | +recent work of the same ilk: |
| 31 | +https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg/commit/041489a4280ce989cc03bc5e103040cc0488791b |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +One thing Jonathan would really love to see some improvement in is the |
| 34 | +CloudNativePG website. He would love to see it get some _TLC_. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Baby Jonathan first got into Tech when he got a 386 computer to "do some stuff |
| 37 | +with a modem". Nowadays people in the CloudNativePG project reach out to him |
| 38 | +because he just knows a lot about a lot. "But also just to chat!" He is |
| 39 | +involved in other projects as well, and calls [the Prato Linux community](https://www.linux.prato.it/) home. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Jonathan is a Component owner for the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), |
| 42 | +and the [pgbouncer-containers](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/pgbouncer-containers), |
| 43 | +[pgcrash-containers](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/pgcrash-containers), |
| 44 | +[postgis-containers](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/postgis-containers), |
| 45 | +[postgres-containers](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/postgres-containers), |
| 46 | +and [postgres-trunk-containers](https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/postgres-trunk-containers) |
| 47 | +- just, ALL the container stuff! |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +If you wanted to get in touch with Jonathan, you can find him in the |
| 50 | +CloudNativePG channels on the CNCF Slack workspace, or on |
| 51 | +[Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/sxd.cl) or |
| 52 | +[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jagonzalezv/). |
