I'm not associated with the CNCF but there is already a community group for Amsterdam: https://community.cncf.io/amsterdam/, heads up.

[AudMonte01]

Yes, that is correct. Thank you, @embik.

@sbarissonmez - do you wish to join as an organizer? If so I can loop in the current organizers to review, and let you know the best steps.

[sbarissonmez]

Yes, I would like to join as an organizer. Could you give a little more details organizer's responsibility and requirements, please? Thank you @AudMonte01

[AudMonte01]

Aside from the terms you agreed to above, here is a Best Practices guide that might be helpful, as well as the ReadMe.

[AudMonte01]

I am copying @ams0 and @wrkode to let you know best steps. If you have not already, please first participate in this group's meetups as a consistent member.

[ams0]

Thank you for your interest @sbarissonmez , feel free to reach out in the #netherlands channel or privately on CNCF Slack. We do have a requirement that you must live in The Netherlands (for a significant amount of a year's time) to be active in our organiser team; if you have just moved, that's great and let's get you onboarded!

[AudMonte01]

Thank you for your response, @ams0

@sbarissonmez - kindly respond about the location you reside in. Please note, CNCF typically recommends you join as a member, and consistently attend meetups ahead of becoming as a co-organizer.

You can do so here: https://community.cncf.io/cloud-native-amsterdam/
