KubeCon EU Maintainer Summit 2025 - Team Staffing

[mfahlandt]

The 2025 NA Maintainer Summit in London will need staffing for its roles and shadows.

It will happen at 31st of March 2025 in London Excel London
Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XL, United Kingdom

Event Lead will be @mfahlandt

We will also need shadows that could potentially take on leading those roles in the future. Roles and shadows will be listed below when they are filled out. With limited exception, shadows must have Kubernetes org membership. Shadows will be accepted at the discretion of the lead.

To clarify roles and responsibilities, we are adding a role of "Volunteer" under each area. The Shadow bears expectations to lead one of the events-team roles in an upcoming summit and to handle all lead related activities in the absence of the Lead. It may be helpful to think of the Shadow role as an understudy position. Volunteers are helpers that may be assigned tasks from the Lead. Shadows and Volunteers, with limited exception, must be members of the Kubernetes GitHub organization. Leads are still responsible for accepting shadows and volunteers for their area. Volunteers, please communicate your desire to be a Shadow to the Lead of your area. Leads will inform me of their Shadows and I will update the issue.

As this will be a first time Maintainer Summit we still will need to figure out certain roles and what to do about it. Comments and critique is welcome.
For now, we decided to go with a smaller stack of roles.
The need for a meeting is still to be discussed.

@natalisucks & @angellk & @mfahlandt are the overall chairs for the maintainer summit.

Thank you for your willingness to help out. We could not hold these events without you.

The program committee for the Kubernetes track was pre chosen by ContribEx

Committee Chairs: @katcosgrove, @jberkus

@mfahlandt: The label(s) area/maintainer-summit cannot be applied, because the repository doesn't have them.

@lauralorenz was shadowing awards at NA24 and I'd like to nominate Laura as a lead for Awards in EU25.
(if we're going to do awards, that's still under discussion).

Happy to shadow awards/registration and/or anywhere else.

However, I won’t be able to attend KubeCon in person this time. I’m still very eager to contribute and learn through the process remotely, if that’s possible

[satrox28]
