We will continue to run Contributor +Summits across the globe, as it is important that our contributor base grows in +all forms of diversity. + +Kubernetes has a large distributed remote contributing team, from [individuals and +organizations] all over the world. The Contributor Summits give the community three +chances a year to get together, work on community topics, and have hallway track +time. The upcoming San Diego summit is expected to bring over 450 attendees, and +will contain multiple tracks with something for everyone. The focus will be around +contributor growth and sustainability. We're going to stop here with capacity for +future summits; we want this event to offer value to individuals and the project. +We've heard from past summit attendee feedback that getting work done, learning, +and meeting folks face to face is a priority. By capping attendance and offering +the contributor gatherings in more locations, it will help us achieve those goals. + +This summit is unique as we’ve taken big moves on sustaining ourselves, the +contributor experience events team. Taking a page from the release team’s playbook, +we have added additional core team and shadow roles making it a natural mentoring +(watching+doing) relationship. The shadows are expected to fill another role at +one of the three events in 2020, and core team members to take the lead. +In preparation for this team, we’ve open sourced our [rolebooks, guidelines, +best practices] and opened up our [meetings] and [project board]. Our team makes up +many parts of the Kubernetes project and takes care of making sure all voices +are represented. + +Are you at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon but can’t make it to the summit? Check out +the [SIG Intro and Deep Dive sessions] during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon to +participate in Q&A and hear what’s up with each Special interest Group (SIG). +We’ll also record all of Contributor Summit’s presentation sessions, take notes +in discussions, and share it back with you, after the event is complete. + +We hope to see you all at Kubernetes Contributor Summit San Diego, make sure you +head over and [register right now]! This event will sell out - here’s your warning. +:smiley: + +Check out past blogs on [persona building around our events] and the [Barcelona summit story]. + +![Group Picture in 2018](/images/blog/2019-09-24-san-diego-contributor-summit/IMG_2588.JPG) + +*=QuartYard has a huge stage!
