Enforcing this growth will fundamentally benefit this community +and the communities around this one. + +In order to make it possible, I plan to continue working in the integration +bits, while keeping connecting and facilitating the communication between the +Kata Containers community and the communities that both Red Hat and I are part +of. + +The contributions I have participated in and I am the most proud to mention +are: + +* Out-of-the-box virtio-fs support on Fedora, and CentOS; +* Helping with the SELinux support on Kata Containers, CRI-O, and + container-selinux projects; +* Helping to educate & to onboard colleagues to the project, assisting them so + they can get up to speed to start contributing with different pieces and also + to become part of this community; +* Helping to lower the maintenance burden by dropping OBS package builds in + favor of kata-deploy usage (still in progress). + +Fabiano Fidêncio (IRC / Slack: fidencio)
