The CNCF & You - Growing Community in the CloudNative Landscape
summary
Explains how the CNCF runs 153 projects with nearly 200,000 contributors, the sandbox incubating graduated lifecycle and the TOC/due-diligence path that actually moves projects forward. Shows concrete benefits—marketing, legal, cloud credits, security audits, Zoom/Slack access—and cites graduated projects like Kubernetes, Argo, Flux as examples of what survives the process. Describes a real proposal flow (intake form, SIG presentation, interviews, vote) and what joining buys a project in practice.
