Justin: I’m sorry to hear you had trouble signing up, initially. Currently, we’re using K8sPort.org to request the registration. By requesting at that site, a few folks are automatically notified and can send you an invite through the hub, itself. The “instant signup” was discussed, early on, but the concern there was a potential flood of fake invites, which occurs fairly regularly, or even individuals creating multiple accounts. It’s something we could reconsider, and would be easy to enable, although it could remove some oversight the hub currently has. Brian: Since being announced via a blog post around the 1.6 release, the hub has already seen close to 500 organic invite requests. Ideally, getting the K8 port listed at the Kubernetes github, and on more of the formal CNCF properties would also be very helpful re: sign up rate. I think we’d start to see the rate increase quite a bit, then. The integration with github is really key (and powerful), as people can instantly be recognized for contributions being made to the project once they link their account. There was also discussion around connecting the emerging formal contributor levels to the badges/advocate structure of the K8sport, which I think would help. I think there’s definitely a way to tie these initiatives together, and create more opportunities for folks to contribute to great causes (as Lucas has already done via the K8s port) – while participating in a great community around a project they love. It’s also worth noting that, for Meetups and events, the K8sPort allows you to “check in” at the locations and, in so doing, gain access to event-specific challenges. Additionally, I’m always more than happy to hop on a quick call anytime to discuss this, and any input/advice anyone may have. -RQ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Kubernetes user discussion and Q&A" group.
