KubeCon Contributor Summit NA 2024 - Team Staffing

Open mfahlandt opened this issue 9 months ago • 44 comments

The 2024 NA Contributor Summit in Salt Lake City will need staffing for its roles and shadows. The Contributor Summit date and location is to be determined. Planning meetings occur on Mondays at 9 AM Pacific/11 AM Central. (Sorry about this again, but other times are hardly working, we maybe can move it to 10 AM Pacific/12 AM Central.

Event Leads will be @mfahlandt and @stmcginnis as shadow. The emeritus advisor is @salaxander

We will also need shadows that could potentially take on leading those roles in the future. Roles and shadows will be listed below when they are filled out. With limited exception, shadows must have Kubernetes org membership. Shadows will be accepted at the discretion of the lead.

To clarify roles and responsibilities, we are adding a role of "Volunteer" under each area. The Shadow bears expectations to lead one of the events-team roles in an upcoming summit and to handle all lead related activities in the absence of the Lead. It may be helpful to think of the Shadow role as an understudy position. Volunteers are helpers that may be assigned tasks from the Lead. Shadows and Volunteers, with limited exception, must be members of the Kubernetes GitHub organization. Leads are still responsible for accepting shadows and volunteers for their area. Volunteers, please communicate your desire to be a Shadow to the Lead of your area. Leads will inform me of their Shadows and I will update the issue.

We have a strong preference that participants as Leads, Shadows, and Volunteers be present at the Contributor Summit to help on site. This does not mean you cannot help virtually. There will be opportunities and we encourage you to come to the planning meetings in order to find virtual opportunities. Thank you for your willingness to help out. We could not hold these events without you.

I would love to shadow registration :)

👋 I'd love to shadow, either registration or comms ideally. I won't be on-site at SLC.

JamesLaverack avatar Apr 29 '24 16:04 JamesLaverack

I'm available to Lead either Awards or Operations. I can also take a specific task from Operations.

I'd prefer not to do Social again, since I've done that twice. However, I can connect the Social lead with some local folks.

Can also shadow registrations or comms.

Most of the Lead roles have been staffed, please consider the volunteered shadows and confirm them.

We are still open for additional Shadows & Volunteers and are looking for a Social Event Lead

@JamesLaverack @nitishfy - I see you have expressed interest in multiple shadow roles. Do you have a preference?

savitharaghunathan avatar May 08 '24 15:05 savitharaghunathan

@JamesLaverack @nitishfy - I see you have expressed interest in multiple shadow roles. Do you have a preference?

Hey Savitha, I'm already volunteering as a Content lead this time, That being said, I might not have enough bandwidth to shadow registration this time :)

nitishfy avatar May 08 '24 15:05 nitishfy

Hey Savitha, I'm already volunteering as a Content lead this time, That being said, I might not have enough bandwidth to shadow registration this time :)

Cool. I see that now. Thanks for confirming, @nitishfy :)

savitharaghunathan avatar May 08 '24 15:05 savitharaghunathan

I can't confirm that I will be in person yet, but once I can confirm later this year, I will do what I can to help.

@savitharaghunathan Minor preference for Registration, but I'm fine with either if that's better for the team distribution. :)

JamesLaverack avatar May 09 '24 09:05 JamesLaverack

I would like to shadow Comms this time.

sandipanpanda avatar May 10 '24 16:05 sandipanpanda

I would like to confirm @salaxander @sreeram-venkitesh @JamesLaverack as shadows for Registration 🎉

savitharaghunathan avatar May 13 '24 11:05 savitharaghunathan

Confirming @krol3, @hakman and @jeremyrickard as the Content Shadows🎉

reylejano avatar May 14 '24 03:05 reylejano

Rey: would be happy to have you as shadow/staff.

jberkus avatar May 14 '24 20:05 jberkus

Confirming @reylejano as Meet & Greet shadow.

kaslin avatar May 22 '24 23:05 kaslin

I can't guarantee I will be in person yet but I'd like to help. I've previously shadowed Content and happy to shadow or volunteer for that team again, or shadow/volunteer for Comms or Awards as they seem like a good fit for having a good amount of pre-con offsite stuff to do.
