SIG Security: Succession Planting for a Flowering Future - Cailyn Edwards, Okta; Iain Smart, AmberWolf; Rory McCune & Tabitha Sable, Datadog; Mahé Tardy, Isovalent at Cisco
Thursday April 3, 2025 11:45 - 12:15 BST
Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 3-4
Kubernetes SIG Security takes a community-building approach to improving security for end users, project maintainers, and the Kubernetes project itself. Much like a garden thrives with careful planning, diverse plants, and collaboration, we use the same techniques to ensure our community is well tended and blooming. Join us as we introduce the next generation of SIG Security leadership and talk about succession plan(t)ing to ensure a smooth transition, encourage growth, and maintain the values that cultivate and foster the community we’ve built together.

Come learn what we’ve been working on, what we have planned for the future, and how you can get involved. We will go over the many roles required to create a rich community, from the gardeners to the pollinators - it really does take a village! Everyone is welcome: we all have something to teach and something to learn, and we would love to learn from you!

Bring questions, share ideas, and let’s plant some seeds. See you there!
