summary
Recap of how the Cloud Native Computing Foundation actually got built: bootstrapped from 28 to 375 members, established a durable three-part constitution (governance board, Technical Oversight Committee as the “tastemakers,” and an end‑user community), and leaned on a professional host for legal, IP and operations. Key claims: transparency about commercial agendas prevents later fights; foundations are high‑overhead not a free shortcut; customer representation must be explicit. Outcome: CNCF scales, introduces governance friction but preserves technical cohesion. hire a pro
