Join Us for Our Weekly CNCF Sync: August 20, 2026

[LexiNadolski]

🕛 When: Today at 16:00 CEST / 14:00 UTC
🔗 Meeting Link: On Discord

We're kicking off an open discussion on everything related to Flatcar & CNCF:

📰 Latest news and updates
✅ Work completed and in progress
🚧 Challenges and roadblocks
Ideas, questions, and anything on your mind!

📋 Agenda for this week:

• Schedule has to be adjusted as most of the team dealt with an influx of new contributors due to the mentorship program - this is now slowing as the mentorship selection is in process now. This actually has been a good happening as it showed a lot of places where we need to improve and updated our AI Policy. Silver lining!
• Steering & Technical Committees governance discussion. Sent out on Monday to maintainers. Deadline to vote is September 4th. Please let Lexi know if you have any questions.
• Grouping & subgrouping of contributors and maintainers + other governance discussion: Need broader discussion, need a new date for this as August 12th was reallocated to supporting new contributors
• CNCF graduation progress: Up next General Technical Review, Security Self Assessment and Application

💬 Have something to add? Drop your agenda items as a comment below and we'll pick them up in the call!
