Kubernetes Steering Committee AMA
summary
Overview of how Kubernetes governance actually works: SIGs own code, working groups are time‑bound, and committees handle security and conduct; steering handles governance and external liaison and operates under a seven members model with a no more than two seats per employer rule (one‑third max). Ongoing changes focus on making work async — experiments include bi‑weekly Slack stand‑ups and shifting meeting times — plus mentoring cohorts, term limits for SIG chairs, and election retrospectives; budget firefighting (GCP credits) and low candidate turnout remain practical constraints.
