| 8 | +## SIGS |
| 9 | +- SIG Contributor Experience |
| 10 | + - emeritus co-chair (8000 to 50000 contributors) |
| 11 | + - subproject owner: events, mentoring, communication, community-mgmt, community |
| 12 | +- Steering Committee |
| 13 | + - Liaison for: SIG Testing, Multicluster, Security, Storage, wg-data-protection |
| 14 | +- SIG Docs |
| 15 | +- CNCF Governing Board: Kubernetes Representative |
| 16 | +## What I have done |
| 17 | +I’ve spent the last 50 months having the pleasure to serve the upstream community in some of the following ways: |
| 18 | +- Governance |
| 19 | + - Operations: |
| 20 | + - Building, growing, and maintaining our communication tools that allow for transparency and collaboration; also creating community, policy, and support systems for those who maintain them |
| 21 | + - Revamped quarterly community meeting structure for SIGs to annual reports which levels up work to end users; better communication of our needs |
| 22 | + - Policies: |
| 23 | + - Drafted Steerings current policy on term limits. Term definitions and limits help our succession plans and give new voices a path forward in the project. |
| 24 | + - Visibility of roles within the project on sig-governance.md and many other policies that involve inclusion and operations |
| 25 | + - revamped sig-wg-lifecycle.md, sig-governance.md, and more |
| 26 | + - Advocacy: |
| 27 | + - I’m here to serve. I advocate for supporting our contributors and maintainers needs/interests; sometimes these interests intersect with social and human rights movements vs pure code and engineering topics. |
| 28 | +- Contributor Growth and Sustainability |
| 29 | + - Growing our roles and supporting it’s leadership |
| 30 | + - Build community for community group leaders (100+) via #chairsandtechleads, monthly meetings, onboarding, and other activities |
| 31 | + - Creation of additional roles within the project and the visibility of them |
| 32 | + - Encouraging and drafting succession plans, identifying staffing gaps |
| 33 | + - How we communicate as a project; bootstrapped the current upstream marketing team to help us with outreach and guidance |
| 34 | + - Creating and scaling mentoring programs (example: group mentoring) that aren’t 1:1 and/or lots of burden on owners/maintainers |
| 35 | +## What I'll do |
| 36 | +In what would be my final term, I want to carry out projects still in flight and continue to progress Kubernetes forward within our values: |
| 37 | +- Grow and sustain a community of strong leaders via: |
| 38 | + - more leadership training, |
| 39 | + - sustainable staffing models, |
| 40 | + - and advocate for their needs / reduce toil |
| 41 | +- Communication projects: |
| 42 | + - how we communicate our needs to end users and cncf community |
| 43 | + - Add a communications/outreach/PR wrangler or like role to Steering to make sure we’ve communicated effectively |
| 44 | + - Community group health checks via annual reports: |
| 45 | + - Relieve the administrative burden from chairs and automate some of the process from annual reports |
| 46 | +- Continue to work with the entire Steering body to work on sustainable staffing with the Governing Board |
