Hi Kuberfriendos,
I am excited to nominate Kat Cosgrove (@katcosgrove) for the 2024 Steering Committee election.
I knew of Kat long before she knew of me -- she's kinda hard to miss. When I finally met her face-to-face, she was kind, caring, welcoming, and most importantly real and down to Earth. She pulls others around her into conversation like an orbit. You genuinely want to be her friend so she shouts your name from across the room when you walk through the door at summit. You can count on Kat to call you out when you're wrong and tell you what you actually need to hear.
Kat's first contribution to the project was helping to ease the concerns of the Dockershim deprecation in 2020. She eventually found a home on the release team for 1.23, and she's been an indispensable part of it ever since. With 9 Kubernetes releases under her belt (soon to be 10 as the Emeritus Advisor for 1.32), her impact is undeniable.
During the release of 1.28, Kat stepped up to address critical gaps and spearheaded policy changes that have since become cornerstones of the release process. Her contributions were recognized with a SIG Release Contributor Award, and she now serves as a Subproject Owner of the Release Team and a Tech Lead for SIG Docs.
Release 1.30, under Kat's leadership, is widely praised as one of the smoothest releases in recent history. But don't just take my word for it:
- @salaxander, 1.27 Release Lead & SIG Docs Tech Lead
- @jeremyrickard, 1.20 Release Lead & SIG Release Co-Chair
- @IanColdwater, SIG Security Co-Chair
Kat's proven track record of fostering stability, transparency, and community growth makes her the ideal candidate for the Steering Committee. I have no doubt that she will bring the same transformative energy to Steering that she brought to the Release Team, ultimately improving the health of the entire Kubernetes project.
If you agree, please comment a +1 on this issue and share the organization you work for.
