I used to work on many areas of the project including +architectural design, development, releasing management, security auditing, +event organizing, and community promoting. I have served as a member of the +architecture committee since 2021 and would like to renew my seat to continue +my contribution to the community. + +In the coming year, there are still quite a lot of interesting things going on +in the community, out of which my main focus would mostly be around: + +1. Engaging more users. While Kata is getting more and more end users, it is +also obvious that we are not getting enough feedback from them. The latest end-user +survey is a good start. I would like to help engage more end users so +that we can use their feedback to prioritize features of the project. + +2. Collaboration with the confidential container project. Coco is certainly one +of the most important downstream of Kata. While Coco has been doing great so far, +it has been living in the shadow for too long. We should merge it into the main +branch soonish and ensure the roadmap-wise longterm alignment of Coco and Kata. + +3. PVM (Pagetable-based Virtual Machine) is a cutting-edge isolation technology +developed by Ant Group and expands Kata's usage in nested VM environments. It +is still in the process of being upstreamed in the Linux kernel community and I +would devote part of my time to help integrate and promote it in the Kata +community, especially to the SaaS/PaaS provider users of Kata who operate mostly +in public cloud. + +Meanwhile, there is certainly more to do for the community and I look forward to +continuing to serve the community and help it thrive. + +Cheers, +Bergwolf
