Download the code ahead of time. DCO required.Join the contributors to Etcd, the most popular cloud-native database that backs Kubernetes. We'll be working on improving key features and testing for Etcd, and in the process we’ll teach those new to the project how to contribute. Etcd is a very useful, fun, and essential project, and welcomes both new contributors and those who want to “levelup”.Attendees should be familiar with programming in Go, using GitHub, and should bring a laptop on which they can do cloud-native development: either a Linux laptop, your own Github Devcontainer setup, or some equivalent.Etcd maintainers will organise work to improve reliability of Etcd. We will focus on improving etcd robustness testing and paying technical depth.This Contribfest session is designed to provide projects with the space and resources to tackle outstanding technical debt, security issues, or outstanding impactful feature requests. They are intended to provide a place for maintainers to meet contributors and potential contributors and work together on solving a problem.

The talk discusses the challenges of maintaining open-source projects, specifically Kubernetes releases, and the importance of sustainability in the community.
- Kubernetes releases occur every four months and involve a large team of contributors.
- Fixing issues in releases often requires deep expertise possessed by a small set of people, leading to unsustainable firefighting.
- The talk provides examples of past incidents and what was learned from them.
- Improvements and takeaways for maintaining sustainability in open-source projects are discussed.

The presentation discusses the challenges faced by organizations and individual contributors in contributing to open source projects and the importance of understanding the bigger picture beyond software supply chain security.
- Open source software has become critical in the world and is eating into organizations that employ them
- Incentivizing and understanding the contribution to revenue is a challenge for organizations
- Maintaining sustainability of open source projects is a big question
- Understanding the people connections and relating it to the finance side of things is critical for open source projects
- Individual contributors face challenges in understanding collaboration, transactional vs social relationships, and software incentives

No one corporation, individual, or organization can save or sustain open source. There is no sweeping solution to sustainability, as we have seen in decades of trying to maintain the commons we all depend on. Project funding, corporate support of full-time contributors, and balance in contributors’ lives are all critical to keep a large project healthy. But this isn’t all doom and gloom: we provide hope for our own future. Join Tabitha and Paris, as they discuss how your intentionality helps our sustainability. As an organization participating or an individual donating their time, how can we help each other successfully let our projects go on without us? How do mutual aid principles apply in open source? Where do corporations fit into the larger “us”? Intentional open source strategies sustain our long term needs by supporting the people doing the work. There isn’t one person or group working on open source sustainability - we all need to in whatever way we can: through participation, sticking around, and having a plan. Walk away with a beautiful idea of how you are contributing to the long term success of Kubernetes and the open source projects that you care about.

Your code is reviewed, docs are being written, and the CNCF is hosting an event for you. What else does an open source project need?As it turns out, a lot. You need to deliberately create a welcoming community, publicize your project, manage contributors' expectations, motivate them to take on more responsibility, develop project policies and processes, and more. With so many things to tackle, it can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, lots of people have done this before — and the CNCF and TAG Contributor Strategy are here to help.Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!

Building prometheus interoperability support in open telemetry is essential for collecting and processing metrics data for observability in the Kubernetes environment.
- Open source projects face challenges with limited resources and require effective collaboration among contributors
- Effective work groups, regular communication, and project management are essential for successful collaboration
- Open telemetry provides the ability to collect and process metrics data for observability in the Kubernetes environment
- Prometheus is an open source framework for alerting, data storage, and processing and monitoring metrics data
- Open telemetry is committed to having full support for prometheus and needed to support prometheus protocol compatibility
- Supporting prometheus data types and enhancing service discovery and scraped configuration support were necessary for successful prometheus interoperability support in open telemetry
