I started a not-for-profit, Forge Utah Foundation, to help grow technology education and talent in Utah. We run several free meetups for the community, including the Utah Kubernetes meetup which we have been running for almost 8 years. We have had over 90 meetups (Over 10/year) and average 34 RSVPs (pretty good for Utah). We have over 1200 members of the meetup. For all intents and purposes, we are the local CNCF chapter for Utah. We even had a Cloud Native Utah meetup before combining it with Utah Kubernetes since we typically wanted the same speakers: https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-utah/

Tell us about your co-organizer. List their name, email, company, GitHub URL, LinkedIn URL, and CNCF Slack workspace name (or if they need to be invited), and a required profile link on community.cncf.io

He has been the primary organizer for the last 7+ years and joined with Forge Utah as the org that helps manage and run the meetup. He is a seasoned engineering leader and lover of Kubernetes and all things CNCF.

Thank you, @clintberry for this submissions. It's great to see how active your current meetup is, and that you want this group to now be associated with CNCF as one of our chapters.

Since Lehi is not taken, but it is close to our Salt Lake City chapter, we highly encourage collaboration on speakers and promotions. Perhaps there can be some alternating co-hosting in our community.cncf.io platform we use, called Bevy. This would make it easy to uphold the 90-day activity standard we have.

That said, I have moved forward with creating this chapter and added you as an organizer. Thank you for already having an account on community.cncf.io. You should have just received an automated welcome email from me with next steps.

Now we just need Paul to make one! Please tag his GitHub handle here to do this, as well as for him confirm he agrees to the above organizer terms.

Thanks again!
