KubeCon Contributor Summit EU 2024 - Team Staffing

[salaxander]

Describe the issue

The 2024 EU Contributor Summit in Paris will need staffing for its roles and shadows. The Contributor Summit date and location is to be determined. Planning meetings occur on Mondays at 9 AM Pacific/11 AM Central.

Event Leads will be @ameukam and @salaxander, with @qedrakmar serving as emeritus advisor. The Lead Shadow position is currently vacant.

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.

We have a strong preference that participants as Leads, Shadows, and Volunteers be present at the Contributor Summit to help on site. This does not mean you cannot help virtually. There will be opportunities and we encourage you to come to the planning meetings in order to find virtual opportunities. Thank you for your willingness to help out. We could not hold these events without you.

[reylejano]

I shadowed Registration for KubeCon NA 2023, I can either lead Registration or shadow another area like Content or Ops or MKCC / SIG Meet & Greet.

I'm open to defer to others who would like to step into those roles.

[jberkus]

Can we add a line for "Website" under Comms?

[salaxander]

Can we add a line for "Website" under Comms?

Done!

[savitharaghunathan]

Raising my hand up to shadow registration this time.

[nimbinatus]

I don't know yet whether I'll be attending, but I can at least support whoever decides to take on MKCC/Meet & Greet. Once I have a better sense whether I'll be there, I'm happy to fill another role if I'll be present.

[pwalters04]

I would love to volunteer. Currently looking for documentation on how /check if I am a member of the Kubernetes GitHub organization

[fykaa]

Would love to lead Content this time!

[nitishfy]

I'd love to lead Registration this time! (If this is not possible, I'm up for shadowing for content).

[sreeram-venkitesh]

I'd love to help as a volunteer for Comms/Content!

[jberkus]

@pwalters04 here and here. Looks like "no", but there's still time for you to apply for org membership, if you have contributions.

[tokt]

Strong +1 on @reylejano leading Registration. (Will be happy to be Emeritus for Registration and/or help anywhere else I can)

[salaxander]

I'd love to lead Registration this time! (If this is not possible, I'm up for shadowing for content).

@nitishfy Would you be open to shadowing on registration? I think for this one we're going to reserve it for someone that's shadowed that role recently.

[natalisucks]

@salaxander @ameukam It looks like Awards is missing as a category!

[salaxander]

@salaxander @ameukam It looks like Awards is missing as a category!

No awards at the EU event :)

[natalisucks]

@salaxander and that's why you're the lead 😸

[kaslin]

As discussed in Slack, I would be happy to lead comms with @natalisucks as a shadow. @fykaa has also mentioned interest in shadowing.

[Namanl2001]

happy to shadowing on Registration/ content

[RA489]

I will be happy to Shadow/Volunteer for SIG meet and Greet. Cc: @salaxander @kaslin if you're ok.

[AvineshTripathi]

I would like to shadow comms this time!

[cpanato]

I would like to help in the day operations as a volunteer or shadow if possible

[abhijeetgauravm]

I'd love to help as a volunteer for Comms/Content!

[puja108]

I will definitely be onsite again, so happy to volunteer with day-of-ops. I'm not sure how busy I'll be in the coming months, but if we can't find anyone else I could alternatively do website.

[cailyn-codes]

I can lead social, and emeritus for content. Also happy to shadow lead.

[nitishfy]

@nitishfy Would you be open to shadowing on registration? I think for this one we're going to reserve it for someone that's shadowed that role recently.

Definitely! I'm up to shadow for Registration.

Update: I think there are shadow positions opened for Content, I'd be happy to shadow content if that works well.

[pwalters04]

@pwalters04 here and here. Looks like "no", but there's still time for you to apply for org membership, if you have contributions.

@jberkus Thank you for the information!

[salaxander]

I'd love to help as a volunteer for Comms/Content!

Hey @sreeram-venkitesh! Both roles are open, do you have a preference between the two?

[salaxander]

I'd love to help as a volunteer for Comms/Content!

Hey @abhijeetgauravm - We do have a requirement that you're a member of the Kubernetes GitHub organization. More information on that can be found here

[sandipanpanda]

I am interested in shadowing Comms.

[sreeram-venkitesh]

Hey @sreeram-venkitesh! Both roles are open, do you have a preference between the two?

@salaxander I'd like to work on the Comms team!

[ndixita]

@kaslin @salaxander I would like to volunteer for comms.

[ronitblenz]

@salaxander @ameukam I was a Comms Volunteer for KubeCon NA 2023. I'm open to shadow for Registration/Social Event

[qedrakmar]

I'll be your emeritus lead advisor.

[Princesso]

I'd like to be a shadow for SIG-Meet & Greet

[salaxander]

Thanks for volunteering to shadow everyone! Once we have the leads in place, we'll go through and make all confirmations for shadows.

[kmova]

Happy to shadow SIG Meet & Greet or volunteer for Registration.

[mfahlandt]

I would love to Shadow Day-of Operations or Social Event - generally happy to help on-site

[upodroid]

I would like to volunteer for Registration or Day of Ops

[kaslin]

I would also like to volunteer to lead the Meet & Greet, as I shadowed @nimbinatus on that for NA.

[kendallnelson]

@natalisucks I can review any comms before they go out to the ML if that's helpful? I guess that makes me a volunteer :)

[kaslin]

I was chatting with him and @mfahlandt is up for the challenge of at least co-leading day-of-ops!

[natalisucks]

I'd like to confirm the following volunteers for Comms:

Website: @moficodes and @mfahlandt Volunteers: @kendallnelson and @sandipanpanda

I may have more to add after as I reach out to other folks who've indicated their interest on the thread 👍

[ameukam]

/area eu-summit

[jrsapi]

I'm up to shadow for content and day of operations.

[stmcginnis]

I shadowed registration for the US summit. It looks like there are several volunteers for that already, so I'm happy to either support there or any other area that needs the help. Not sure yet if I will be onsite. If I am, happy to support with onsite activities, otherwise will do whatever I can from afar.

[fykaa]

Confirming @sreeram-venkitesh, @nitishfy and @Namanl2001 as shadows for content.

[SD-13]

I would like to volunteer Registration under @reylejano if that's still not taken :)

[natalisucks]

@ndixita are you still interesting in shadowing comms? if not, i'd recommend many of the other areas that still need help 😸

[reylejano]

@Namanl2001 , do you have a preference to shadow Registration or Content?

[reylejano]

@nitishfy , I see you're a shadow for Content already. Do you still have interest to shadow Registration?

[Namanl2001]

@Namanl2001 , do you have a preference to shadow Registration or Content?

Yes @reylejano, I'd prefer shadowing registration. Thanks for asking!
