Nominated Kubernetes 1.32 Release Lead

2024-09-02

I am very excited and proud to nominate @fsmunoz as lead for the v1.32 release! Frederico has been a staple of the team in numerous roles, and he is more than capable of taking the helm!

Χαιρετε!

Angelos Kolaitis, Kubernetes v1.31 Release Lead

I’ve mentioned by different roles in the Kubernetes release them (see Kubernetes 1.26 Release Team, Comms Lead. or Excipit Kubernetes v1.28, Incipit Kubernetes v1.29, amongst others). I’ve always took them more as a way to learn, since every time I participated in something I got a better understanding of how the release works, and it’s quite interesting to watch, from the within, how the second largest FLOSS project in the world works.

This release cycle, I have been surprised by the nomination to Release Lead, something that I can truthfully say was not something I had in mind when I started as a Comms shadow in v1.25.

I see my work on Kubernetes mostly as an extension of the same underlying principles that made me contribute to free software and open source software throughout the years (see CV for some additional information on this long journey): a way to work together within a community to build interesting and useful things for others. For this reason – and because it reflects an opinion of those that, scattered throughout the world, I’ve worked with in my personal time for the last years – this nomination makes me very proud.

I’m also slightly worried and concerned about the task at hand, but I trust the judgment of the very smart people that were involved in this nomination process.
