Open salaxander opened this issue 2 years ago β€’ 32 comments

Hello everyone!

We are now just one week away from the planned 1.29 release, so it's time to start assembling the 1.30 team! Thanks so much to everyone for all your work over the last few months. We would not have made it here without you!

Please use this issue to nominate the lead for your role on the 1.30 release team. πŸŽ‰ Take a look at the Release Team Selection Process docs for details on the process and criteria.

Once role leads are nominated, the upcoming Emeritus Advisor will send out the shadow application survey for selecting 1.30 shadows.

I'm so excited to be able to nominate @gracenng as 1.30 emeritus advisor! I've nominated Grace to succeed me as enhancements lead, release lead, and now EA. It proves to be the absolute best decision every time :)

I'm absolutely honored to have gotten the opportunity to lead the Kubernetes 1.29 Release cycle. Huge thanks to the community and @gracenng & @leonardpahlke for trusting me and nominating me! And thank you @salaxander for always having my back! πŸ™ I learned a lot in various ways, during this journey.

And none of it was possible without the great team I had. Thank you to all 40 members of the 1.29 Release Team (@kubernetes/release-team ) for working so hard, and supporting me throughoutβ€”leading us to a successful Release Cycle. Thank you! :pray:

I'm very happy to nominate @katcosgrove as the 1.30 Release Team Lead! πŸŽ‰ Kat has been an outstanding addition to the Release team since 1.23. She's not only excelled in all her roles but has also gone above and beyond to help whenever needed. I'm confident she'll be a fantastic lead for Kubernetes 1.30 release.

Huge congratulations, @katcosgrove! πŸŽ‰ ❀️

Heartfelt congratulations to @katcosgrove and @gracenng , having had the pleasure the pleasure of working with both the next cycle is already on its way to success.

Many thanks for @Priyankasaggu11929 for her leadership during the cycle that is now coming to an end, you made it look easy due to the effortless way you provided guidance throughout the weeks, and to @salaxander for his constant availability, support, and knowledge on the entire release process.

Being Release Notes lead was another great experience, thanks to the entire team. A big thank you as well to my Release Notes shadows @mengjiao-liu @muddapu @rashansmith @fykaa : they all did a great work, actively participating in all stages of the Release Notes process, and I was very lucky to have them.

All of them could be leads; having said that I'm happy to nominate @rashansmith as the Release Notes Lead for Kubernetes 1.30; Rashan was already in the Release Notes team last cycle, has the necessary experience and knowledge, and was always available to make sure work was ready when needed. I'm sure she will be an excellent lead.

I feel overflowing gratitude and enthusiasm. Contributing to 1.29 was a joy, and it is an immense honor to take on the Docs Lead for 1.30.

Heartfelt thanks to @katcosgrove for your exceptional mentorship, detailed guidance and answers to questions about the Docs lead role. Your thoughtfulness and unwavering support have made the shadowing experience incredibly smooth and rewarding. Congrats on becoming the 1.30 lead! I'm thrilled to continue under your skilled leadership.

Gratitude also goes out to the superb 1.29 Docs shadow team: @Princesso, @taniaduggal, @harshitasao. Your dedication, responsiveness, and team spirit were key to our success. Working with you was a pleasure, so I hope to see returning collaboration in 1.30!

Special thanks to @salaxander for introducing me to the world of containers many years ago. Your insights into DevOps and the Kubernetes community have been pivotal in my growth and involvement towards SIG Release.

A final shout out to @gracenng and @Vyom-Yadav: your teamwork and support during my first release in 1.27 inspired me to continue, and it's been fantastic to witness your continued involvement, support and achievements. Congrats @gracenng on the well-deserved promotion to EA!

Special thanks to @Priyankasaggu11929 and @salaxander for their guidance during the entire cycle πŸ™Œ

Congratulations to @katcosgrove and @gracenng for being nominated as release lead and EA resp. Seeing your work and journey is genuinely inspiring 🫑

I was the second CI Signal lead from my high school (small world), and it was an honour to lead the team and work with @sontek @mansikulkarni96 @pacoxu @rjsadow and @reetasingh, you all πŸͺ¨

I want to nominate @pacoxu as the next release's CI/Release Signal lead. Paco has a sound understanding of the subject and has been working on the 'Fixing Tests' side for a long time, and that experience indeed came in handy being in the CI Signal team. His performance during the release was outstanding, and I strongly believe he would be an excellent lead.

To 1.30 🫑🚒
