It's a pleasure to nominate @Priyankasaggu11929 to be v1.31 Emeritus Advisor! Priyanka has thrived as v1.29 Release Lead, Enhancements Lead and her support with the project board make the Release Team what it is today.

I'm certain her wisdom and guidance with serve the v1.31 team well :D

Thanks @gracenng, I really appreciate all of your support and help to our teams throughout the cycle. Great job! 馃憦

Leading the v1.30 Docs team has been an exceptional honor. A tremendous shoutout to our dedicated shadows on Release Docs, @chanieljdan, @Vyom-Yadav, and @Princesso, for their unparalleled commitment and effort. This cycle, we introduced the brand-new Docs Freeze deadline immediately following the hectic schedule of KubeCon. Despite these challenges, our team, in seamless coordination with SIG Docs and the community, achieved a remarkable 98% compliance rate鈥攗pdating 43 documents with only a single exception! (thanks to @salaxander for filing it, testing out this new process) This success was only possible because of the engagement and hard work from everyone involved, especially @fsmunoz, who stepped in decisively to support us throughout the release. Thank you all! 鉂わ笍

Congratulations to @Priyankasaggu11929 on your nomination for 1.31! Heartfelt thanks to @katcosgrove for giving me this opportunity and for all her guidance, leadership, and support, all while fostering a delightfully fun vibe! 馃樃馃コ (many folks reached out to me about Uwubernetes 馃槀 it's awesome!!) Working with this community is amazing, and I'm eager to figure out ways to keep contributing for v1.31 and beyond.

I am delighted to nominate @Princesso as the lead for the v1.31 Release Docs team. Her enthusiastic, engaged, assertive, and constructive contributions over recent cycles exemplify the qualities needed for SIG Release. Add to this her hands-on experience in shadowing and PR wrangling for SIG Docs, I am confident she will excel in steering the next release to success. If you need any support from me or have any questions during v1.31, please don't hesitate to reach out. 馃殌

Congrats to the whole team! Special thanks to @katcosgrove, @Vyom-Yadav and @gracenng for helping me in the lead role of the new team Release Signal Team.

Great job everyone in the new team!! Thanks for your continues work @MaryamTavakkoli, @SubhasmitaSw and @zelenushechka. And also thanks for the help from release team lead shadows @neoaggelos and @sanchita-07 to join the team.

  • We added 68 issues to the CI Signal Board in v1.30 release cycle 52 of them are resolved.
    It鈥檚 not a easy job as a member of Release Signal Team.

I am delighted to nominate @Vyom-Yadav as the lead for the v1.31 Release Signal team. Vyom was v1.29 CI Signal Team lead and joined me as co-lead of v1.30 Release Signal Team lead, and Vyom is also v1.30 Docs Team Shadow. He treats flakes/failures very carefully and can always find different reasons behind these failures, and is able to communicate well with various SIGs and promote problem solving.

Serving on the 1.30 Release Team has been such an amazing experience! This was my seventh release cycle, I started with v1.16 in 2019 (as a Release Notes shadow), and it is really lovely to see all the improvements that have happened over that time.

A big thank you to @katcosgrove for providing steady and kind leadership, which resulted in a clean, drama-free release! Also, my gratitude to my Communications Team shadows @natalisucks, @Checksumz, @a-mccarthy and @fkautz for all their hard work this cycle! Another thank you to the entire Release Team for all you do!

I am happy to nominate @a-mccarthy as the Lead for the v1.31 Communications team. Abbie has served as Comms Shadow for both the 1.29 and 1.30 release cycles, in addition to her involvement with SIG-Docs. She is organized, reliable, and a great communicator. I wish her success with the 1.31 Release! 馃殌

Congratulations to all of the v1.30 release team. Special thanks to @katcosgrove and @Priyankasaggu11929 ! There was so much to learn from you!

Thanks to @rashansmith for being patient and guiding me on release notes generation mentorship while being the Release-Notes lead for 1.30. I look forward to apply those learnings in the next releases and participate in all. Also a shoutout to my fellow shadows @npolshakova @OrlinVasilev @fykaa. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and helped me learn so many things.

Congrats to @Priyankasaggu11929 for being selected as the EA for v1.31.

It has been a pleasure and an honor to lead the v1.30 Kubernetes release. You all worked so, so hard, and it really shows. This is the smoothest release I've been a part of, and an excellent farewell to my tenure as an active release team member. Thank you, truly.

To my Release Lead Shadows, @sanchita-07 @fsmunoz @ramrodo and @neoaggelos : You were all incredible. I chose to handle the role of the Release Lead Shadows a little it differently in this cycle than in previous ones, and all of you were perfect. Your flexibility and commitment were so, so valuable to the team. I hope to see you all continue.

To my Docs lead, @drewhagen : There was a lot of pressure to succeed with the new Docs Freeze release phase, and your team really rose to the task. Thank you for leading so flawlessly, and for making the hard decisions.

To my Comms lead, @kcmartin : The Comms role involves a lot of ambiguity, creativity, and cat herding. Your team executed right on schedule, and we have a great lineup of feature blogs coming as a result. Thank you for your commitment and tenacity.

To my Enhancements lead, @salehsedghpour : Enhancements is the role I've always found the most daunting. You and your team were exceptional, and it was the quickest code freeze party I've seen. Thank you for the huge amount of work your team put in.

To my Release Notes lead, @rashansmith : Your commitment to improving the Release Notes team for the future is commendable, and exactly the type of thing we look for in subteam leads. Thank you for going above and beyond.

To my Release Signal leads, @pacoxu and @Vyom-Yadav : The first cycle for a new team is difficult, especially so when the new team is one as important as this. I appreciate you both rising to the challenge and leading the team through its inaugural release.

To my Emeritus Advisor, @gracenng : Your support, advice, and companionship throughout the release was invaluable. Couldn't have done it without you. I'm glad we were able to see some of our work through together, and I hope to share more successes with you!

I am happy to announce that the release lead for Kubernetes v1.31 will be @neoaggelos. Throughout this release, he was attentive, active, and assertive, while at the same time being unafraid to ask questions or raise flags when he was unsure. These qualities make an excellent leader, and I'm sure he'll excel!

UwU,
Kat
