🎯 Mission Statement / Objective

Our mission is to build a vibrant Cloud Native Ilorin community that empowers students, developers, and engineers to learn, collaborate, and contribute to CNCF open-source projects while orientating them on how contributing to open source and CNCF projects can 10x their experience. We’ll host regular meetups, workshops, and technical sessions focusing on Kubernetes, observability, GitOps, DevOps automation, and cloud-native tools.
We aim to foster open collaboration, mentorship, and inclusive participation within our locality and beyond.
