Peer Group Mentoring + Career Networking

The community collectively has an immense depth of knowledge and expertise which we can explore and learn from at this collaborative event. Whether you’re new, or not so new to open source and the cloud native community, we invite you to register to attend the KubeCon Peer Group Mentoring + Career Networking Session. You’ll have the chance to meet with experienced open source veterans across many CNCF projects. You will be paired with other people in a small pod-like setting to explore technical, community, and career questions together.

Are you part of a SIG? An ambassador of a cloud native project and want to help others with using or contributing to your project? Are you a code committer? An issue opener? A documentation writer? We’re looking for mentors of all backgrounds and experience levels (including new folks!) across the entire ecosystem with technical, community, and career experience to sign up for one or both sessions. Even if you’re a newcomer, if you’ve even successfully navigated the PR process you have skills and insights to share! We will provide you with FAQs of attendees upfront so you know what to expect.
