KubeCon NA 2024 Planning

[lianmakesthings]

This issue is to track plans for Kubecon Salt Lake in November 2024. Let us know what you think we should do and what you can help with!

Things we've done the past few Kubecons and which we'd like to continue:

• Booth in project pavilion for meetups
• Lightning talk sessions on our governed projects and new ideas
• Project meeting on project meeting day
• Conference sessions about the TAG and WGs
• Announcements of new papers and initiatives

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. Request Project Opportunities (Booth, Lightning Talk)
2. Request Conference Session for TAG

I have requested space for the morning platform WG coffees that were popular in the last two KubeCons.

I am working with Eric Lopez to try and find space after running into no availability at local hotels in part because the CNCF has pre reserved it.

No help needed right now from the tag leadership unless someone has insider knowledge!

Announcements of new papers and initiatives

How about announcements for our papers translated into various languages? As for Japanese, the Platform-related items should be completed by KubeCon NA.

@abangser @lianmakesthings how can @danieloh30 and myself get involved in this organization? We want to have some participation on this with the new working group

I am really just trying to sort out these coffees. Happy to engage in more, but not tuned in yet!

@salaboy Re: conference session for TAGs/WGs, this usually is a separate process from the main CFP for the "maintainer track" that opens a bit closer to the event that we can keep an eye out for.

Also, once we get closer, I can help coordinate the booth schedule/volunteering this year.

@salaboy for maintainer track we have batted around the idea of a panel talking about app delivery with representation from each of the WGs. Given the split from singular platform to now app, platform and infra plus the artefacts I thought it might be a great opportunity to clarity the TAG through its parts.

No decision yet on this, but worth surfacing in case we have better options to propose!

Happy to help again with planning and booth duty and whatnot

I'll have a draft of the proposal for the panel discussion ready soon. I'll coordinate with @schristoff on this.
