🆕 New maintainer nominations are also open through the end of the review period (September 30, 2025). If you'd like to nominate yourself or someone else, please do so by then.

To discontinue and move to kepler repo

• https://github.com/sustainable-computing-io/kepler-helm-chart
• https://github.com/sustainable-computing-io/community
• https://github.com/sustainable-computing-io/kepler-dashboard

@yellowhat I see you are an active maintainer for kepler-helm-chart and we are going to move helm chart maintaining to the main Kepler project. Are you interested to become a maintainer of Kepler project? Btw, have you joined the CNCF workspace and #kepler-project channel? Please also ping me there if you are interested.

[sthaha]

@sunya-ch we don't need to maintain fork community-operator-prod - https://github.com/sustainable-computing-io/community-operators-prod since we can (and we do) submit operator bundles through individual forks.

[yellowhat]

Yes, I can try to look after the chart into the main project.
