## What I have done
19+
20+
A large part of what I’ve done has been driving the effort to build/maintain a
21+
healthy contributor community. I’ve tried to make it easier for new contributors,
22+
worked towards ensuring active reviewer/approvers, streamlined the issue triage
23+
process and more. A few notable items:
24+
25+
- [Routinely pruned and update OWNERS files](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kubernetes-dev/4160VsBL7OI/BsBRZSqpCQAJ)
26+
- [Defined policy around inactive members](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kubernetes-dev/AvCa-sGx9Jw/zByeyP9LAgAJ)
27+
- [Helped run several of our Contributor Summits](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/events) (in the before times 😭)
28+
- Trusted member of the [GitHub Admin Team](http://git.k8s.io/community/github-management#github-administration-team) and a representative to GitHub for the project
29+
- [Moderator of all the things](https://git.k8s.io/community/communication/moderators.md)
30+
- Driven further automation and improvements in the KEP process.
31+
- Surface our docs and resources in a more accessible fashion aka contributor site \o/ - [https://k8s.dev](https://k8s.dev)
32+
33+
Beyond Kubernetes, I’ve been involved heavily with the CNCF, as an[ambassador](https://www.cncf.io/people/ambassadors/),
34+
co-chair of the [Research User Group](https://github.com/cncf/research-user-group),
35+
and I’ve had a close working relationship with them through the Contributor Summits.

## What I’ll do
40+
41+
(aka My Pitch)
42+
43+
I’ve been an end user and part time contributor for the majority of my time in the project.. I’ve
44+
experienced the frustrations of participating and I’ve driven hard to improve them. If elected, I’d
45+
focus on shoring up the areas of the project that are under-represented or under-staffed. I want to
46+
build sustainable models to grow our contributors - our reviewers, approvers, owners and future
47+
leaders.
48+
49+
## Endorsements
50+
51+
[Let's be clear, I am incredibly biased. But I also don't think there's anyone else I'd rather see elected to steering.](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kubernetes-dev/0Eqc07-PNdc/I61aarXDBwAJ)” - @jeefy
