For new +community members, it offers a welcoming space to learn, explore and put the +contributor workflow to practice. + +Unlike previous Contributor Summits, the event now spans two-days with a more +relaxed ‘hallway’ track and general Contributor get-together to be hosted from +5-8pm on Sunday December 9th at the [Garage Lounge and Gaming Hall][garage], just +a short walk away from the Convention Center. There, contributors can enjoy +billiards, bowling, trivia and more; accompanied by a variety of food and drink. + +Things pick up the following day, Monday the 10th with three separate tracks: + +### New Contributor Workshop: +A half day workshop aimed at getting new and first time contributors onboarded +and comfortable with working within the Kubernetes Community. Staying for the +duration is required; this is not a workshop you can drop into. + +### Current Contributor Track: +Reserved for those that are actively engaged with the development of the +project; the Current Contributor Track includes Talks, Workshops, Birds of a +Feather, Unconferences, Steering Committee Sessions, and more! Keep an eye on +the [schedule in GitHub][schedule] as content is frequently being updated. + +### Docs Sprint: +SIG-Docs will have a curated list of issues and challenges to be tackled closer +to the event date. + +## To Register: +To register for the Contributor Summit, see the [Registration section of the +Event Details in GitHub][register]. Please note that registrations are being +reviewed. If you select the “Current Contributor Track” and are not an active +contributor, you will be asked to attend the New Contributor Workshop, or asked +to be put on a waitlist. With thousands of contributors and only 300 spots, we +need to make sure the right folks are in the room. + +If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to +the Contributor Summit Events Team at community@kubernetes.io. + +Look forward to seeing everyone there! + +[bob]: https://twitter.com/mrbobbytables +[sahdev]: https://twitter.com/sp_zala +[ihor]: https://twitter.com/idvoretskyi +[kubecon]: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america-2018/ +[garage]: https://www.garagebilliards.com/ +[schedule]: https://git.k8s.io/community/events/2018/12-contributor-summit#agenda +[register]: https://git.k8s.io/community/events/2018/12-contributor-summit#registration
