Steering Committee Nomination: Marko Mudrinić (@xmudrii) #8040

Closed xmudrii closed 2 months ago

xmudrii commented 2 months ago

Hello kubefolx,

I would like to self-nominate myself for the upcoming Kubernetes Steering Committee elections.

My Kubernetes journey started in 2018 with a Summer of Code internship, where I implemented a storage layer for aggregated API servers through collaboration with SIG API Machinery.

After the internship, I joined SIG Release where I'm actively contributing for over 6 years, and currently serving as a Subproject Lead for Release Engineering and Senior Release Manager. As a part of SIG Release, I made many impactful changes to the technical and procedural side of the release process, improved our tooling, documentation, and ensured we provide high quality, secure, and reliable releases.

Over the time, I've contributed to different SIGs, such as SIG Cluster Lifecycle, SIG Testing, and SIG K8s Infra.

Being part of different SIGs for many years taught me a lot about fostering a diverse and sustainable contributor base in many different aspects, and how to mentor and enable contributors to succeed in their roles.

I want to provide that experience to the broader Kubernetes project, and it would be my honour to be part of the Steering Committee.

My two most important goals are to ensure the healthy state and sustainability of the Kubernetes project.

The Steering Committee is NOT here to solve technical problems, but to be a liaison between contributors and the CNCF, advocate for the project's needs, and recognize the awesome success of our community members.

I want to make sure that we uphold this, to our goals, vision and values, in an agile, efficient and sustainable manner, while providing support and sponsorship that allow our community members to strive even more. The Kubernetes project is becoming more and more mature, and we need to ensure that our contributors can make an impact, that they're recognized, and to help them to avoid burnout.

Thank you!

Kind regards, Marko Mudrinić (@xmudrii)
