I've really enjoyed seeing it growing into a wide, +cross-industry project with such a large customer base. Over those years, I +actively contributed to many parts of the project and tried to make the Kata +community both a welcoming and technologically innovative place. + +A couple of years ago, together with some other Kata contributors, we started to +build a new project with the goal of making a fairly complex and new technology, +Confidential Computing, seamlessly accessible through the canonical cloud native +software stack: Kubernetes and its flourishing ecosystem. Kata Containers was +the obvious choice and an almost perfect fit as the foundation for the +Confidential Containers project, and it proves to be a very solid base. As both +a Confidential and Kata Containers contributor and community member, I want to +continue reinforcing the symbiosis that we created between those 2 projects. I +believe that renewing my AC member seat would allow me to continue helping those +2 projects benefiting from each others, and this what I intend to focus on for +the upcoming year. + +Cheers, +Samuel
