Panel Discussion: From User to Member: Becoming a Kubernetes Contributor
summary
Panel gives concrete steps to go from casual user to Kubernetes org member: membership asks applicants to list your contributions (PRs, issues, docs, community work), secure two sponsors from different companies, and expect the automated checks that prevent non-members from being assigned. Mentorship and review help are common; people recommend starting by commenting on an issue or /ccing yourself, doing reviews, and following the mantra ask for forgiveness instead of permission to begin contributing right away.
