CNCF MAY 7 MEETING

KubeCon China is happening in HongKong China in August

• The community does not typically fly to HongKong for these types of events
• Korean Companies would sponsor KubeCon North America and Europe but not China

Venue is already booked, but team will check to see if there is availability for later in the year.

• NOTE CNCF prefers December, but this is a hard time of year to secure marketing budget for sponsors

Plan B would be to host a half day event through the Cloud Native Seoul Chapter

• [x] Action: Team will gather to discuss options and write an email to Priyanka, Katie, Audra and Keith with desired change

I am closing this issue as the team decided to go forward with the original dates, but not as a KCD.
