Over the past few months I’ve been helping form an infrastructure focused open source foundation (from scratch) and acting as its interim Executive Director. I’m thrilled to announce that the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has accepted its first project, Kubernetes:
[NEWS] @CloudNativeFdn accepts #Kubernetes – IP transferred to the Foundation. New TOC members also announced. https://t.co/LMPgZgbCSo

Proud to announce #Kubernetes has been accepted by TOC into the #CNCF. IP will be transferred to the Foundation https://t.co/Z64f4FzoLQ

There’s a ton of work to do still around developing and evolving development processes, but I’m happy to have our first project which will collaborate with us to establish and evolve these processes (along with the other projects that get accepted).
In the end, it’s really been an adventure in setting up this new open source foundation and I definitely need to write a blog post on some of the lessons learned so far about the experience. I’m really looking forward to see the CNCF become a cloud native commons home for many projects, move the cloud native computing paradigm forward and define what it means to be an open source foundation in the modern GitHub era.
