Contributing back to the community you’re part of is a wonderful way to express gratitude. After all, how could anyone be luckier than to give back to something they love? 😊 ...

Colleagues, clients, partners, competitors, maintainers of small projects, volunteer committees, and big corporations—they’re all there! ...

Yesterday, KubeCon NA in Chicago came to a close, so now we can start looking forward to KubeCon EU 2024, which will take place in Paris from March 19th to 22nd, 2024 😊. For Paris, early bird registrations are open until November 28th, and it’s still possible to submit proposals for the call for papers.
