1.2 Nominated Kubernetes 1.32 Release Lead
==========================================
2024-09-02
I am very excited and proud to nominate @fsmunoz as lead for the
v1.32 release! Frederico has been a staple of the team in numerous
roles, and he is more than capable of taking the helm!
Χαιρετε!
-- _Angelos Kolaitis (1), Kubernetes v1.31 Release Lead_
I've mentioned by different roles in the Kubernetes release them (see
*note Kubernetes 1.26 Comms Lead:: or *note Kubernetes 1.29 Release
Notes Lead::, amongst others). I've always took them more as a way to
learn, since every time I participated in something I got a better
understanding of how the release works, and it's quite interesting to
watch, from the within, how the second largest FLOSS project in the
world works.
This release cycle, I have been surprised by the nomination to
Release Lead, something that I can truthfully say was not something I
had in mind when I started as a Comms shadow in v1.25.
I see my work on Kubernetes mostly as an extension of the same
underlying principles that made me contribute to free software and open
source software throughout the years (see *note CV:: for some additional
information on this long journey): a way to work together within a
community to build interesting and useful things for others. For this
reason - and because it reflects an opinion of those that, scattered
throughout the world, I've worked with in my personal time for the last
years - this nomination makes me very proud.
I'm also slightly worried and concerned about the task at hand, but I
trust the judgment of the very smart people that were involved in this
nomination process.
