• Continuous Improvement (CI) is not a new concept and is based on continuous improvement of working practices and personal efficiency.
• The TOC has continuously evolved to meet the scale of project adoption and provide value to the cloud native community.
• The TOC represents 10 companies, including 3 end users, and members work in small, medium, and large companies from 4 different countries and 2 continents.
• The TOC's mission is to take Cloud native Computing everywhere from the desktop to the data center to the edge.
• The TOC guides technical decisions through open governance and transparency, technical evolution, and interoperability.
• The TOC shepherds projects through the three stages of the CNCF: sandbox, incubation, and graduation.
• The TOC created technical advisory groups (TAGs) to manage the many projects and technical areas.
• TAGs cover a wide variety of areas, including security, storage, and disaster recovery.
• The TAGs collaborate with projects on security reviews, supply chain security, and storage architectures.
• The TOC is constantly looking for ways to improve processes and listens to feedback to ensure positive and sustainable growth for the future.

• The cloud native community emphasizes openness and transparency in communication and considers closer collaboration between the Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) and projects.
• The community focuses on technology advancement, interoperability, security, and sustainability.
• The TOC relies on Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) to understand the direction of the industry.
• Security is a major trend, with a focus on supply chain security and regulatory and legislative action.
• There is a growing interest in running batch workloads on cloud-native technology, particularly Kubernetes.
• Open standards and interoperability are important for innovation, extensibility, and interoperability.
• Developer experience is a growing area of focus, with an emphasis on driving a positive contributor experience.
• Sustainability is important for both technology and community growth, with a new Environmental Sustainability Working Group focusing on reducing the carbon footprint of cloud native projects.
• Growing the contributory community is important for community sustainability.
