I am an evangelist of various Apache open source projects from 2014 onwards and spent a significant amount of time in various Apache open source projects - Apache ZooKeeper, Apache BookKeeper, Apache Hadoop, Apache Ozone and a committer/PMC on these projects as well. I'm a Apache Foundation Member.

I'm promoting the benefits of open source software, encourage community collaboration, and advocate for the use of free and open-source solutions. I work with developers, organizations, and users to highlight the importance of transparency, innovation, and shared knowledge in the software industry. By fostering a culture of openness, I aim to contribute to the growth and success of open source initiatives.

Tell us why you want to be added or removed from the chapter

Presently, I'm working with Microsoft and user of K8s platform especially in the bigdata analytics and AI solutions. I've participated in various events of CNCF which is a great community. I would like to collaborate with the CNCF foundation and extend my vision by working with CNCF projects, engaging in the community and organizing the chapter.

Thank you for your submission, @rakeshadr . You are very qualified to organizer a chapter in Kottayam, Kerala.

With that, I would like to see if you would be willing to have this as a sub chapter to the Cloud Native Kerala chapter and collaborate with those organizers on speakers, sponsors and more. There is also a co-host feature which makes keeping the activity up with a chapter, more manageable. Please reference our 90-day activity standard.
