Keynote: Governance and Trust -- from Company Led to Community Led
summary
Kubernetes launches 1.0 in 2015 and Google donates its IP to form the Cloud Native Compute Foundation, creating a container orchestration platform that achieves rapid adoption but exposes governance pain points. Early hand-raiser culture and SIG-based self-organization work at small scale but fracture as the project grows; implicit decision-making breeds mistrust. A bootstrap steering committee of 13 (then dropping to 7) and formal charter fix governance while the ecosystem expands to ~14 CNCF projects and 140+ members.
