CNCF Project Maintainers Birds of a Feather
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019 · on Tuesday, 2019-11-19· at 16:25· Room 23BC - San Diego Convention Center, Upper Level·
summary
Room discussion catalogs concrete maintainer pain points: accounts lose access and require manual recovery, the CLA requests route to the Linux Foundation legal queue, low ticket volume hides unmet needs, and printed pavilion signage is already obsolete. Proposals include a clear service desk intake that routes tickets to buckets, written governance guidance and a minimum “floor” of CNCF support per project, and an annual review that tracks incubating projects (example: Longhorn) toward graduation rather than handing out swag.
