A week in a life with Kubernetes Community - Life as an APAC contributor, Wendy Ha #FOSSASIA 2026

What is it really like to contribute to Kubernetes, one of the world’s largest open source projects? This session offers a behind-the-scenes look at the daily life of a Kubernetes contributor, with practical advice for developers in APAC and beyond.

Follow a week in the life of an upstream contributor as we explore Kubernetes SIGs, community meetings, release engineering, cross-time-zone collaboration, and pathways to contributing across the wider CNCF ecosystem. You’ll also learn how to find the right Special Interest Group (SIG), navigate community workflows, and make your first open source contribution with confidence.

Whether you’re new to Kubernetes or looking to become an upstream contributor, this talk provides a practical roadmap for getting involved in one of the world’s most active cloud-native communities.
