A lot of different hats, and only one of them is red

Kat Cosgrove chats with Christoph Blecker, Service Delivery Architect at Red Hat, about his many roles within the Kubernetes project over time, what all of those roles really involve, and how others can grow from contributor, to code owner, to open source governance in Kubernetes and beyond.

The Linux Foundation and the Janitors of Open Source

Kat Cosgrove is joined by Robert Reeves, VP of Strategic Partnerships at the Linux Foundation. We talk about the various moving parts of an open source foundation as large as the Linux Foundation, how they help build communities, and the tools and resources they provide for projects to get them off the ground, help them thrive, and eventually change the world.

Documentation Written By People, For People

Kat Cosgrove is joined by Rey Lejano, Cloud Native Solutions Architect at Suse, to talk about Kubernetes documentation. We cover how SIG Docs works alongside the release team, the hurdles involved from both a people and a technology standpoint, and the many ways you can get involved in contributing back to Kubernetes whether you’re an organization member or not!

Psychological Safety in Open Source Projects

Kat Cosgrove and Laura Santamaria sit down with Natali Vlatko, open source architect at Cisco, to talk about psychological safety in working in open source and in group environments and how to let people know it’s okay to ask for help.
