Wanted: APAC Coordinator for ContribEx

[parispittman]

Looking for someone who can help prop up our efforts in the APAC region for Contributor Experience. This will include:

• speaking at meetups and local events about the work that happens in contributor experience
• writing blog posts about the same in multiple languages (coordinating translation when necessary)
• helping us with regional boards on discuss.kubernetes.io
• helping us to run the APAC Contributor Experience update meeting
• writing the role book for this role that will live under /community/sig-contributor-experience

[idealhack]

Thank you for opening this specifically, Paris. I'm willing to help with some of the efforts.

[nikhita]

We should also add this to the Role board on discuss.kubernetes.io (I can help with it next week)

@parispittman I am willing to help with some of the efforts!!!!

[aravindputrevu]

@parispittman Heya! I'm interested in doing some of these.. esp #1, #2 & #5.

[Pensu]

@parispittman Hey! Would love to help with some of the issues, whichever applicable!

[parispittman]

@idealhack do you want to lead this and then build a team with the rest of the folks?

[idealhack]

@parispittman sure! I'll try my best :)

[parispittman]

also note: We (contributor experience SIG) have a kubecon Shanghai Intro session (~30 minutes). Maybe this is something folks on here could help out with along with @jberkus. The other SIG Chairs and TLs won't be attending that one unfortunately.

[aravindputrevu]

@parispittman Great! I will be at KubeCon Shanghai. (Provided, I get my VISA in time)

[xihaLong]

@parispittman I frequently go between HangZhou/ShangHai, ChengDu/XiAn/ChongQing, ShenZhen/DongGuan/HongKong, and BeiJing/TianJin. I will love to help in any way. I am professionally most interested in Continuous Delivery Foundation topics

@idealhack and @aravindputrevu See you soon in at KubeCon ShangHai! 👍
Will @xiangpengzhao or @puja108 also be there?

[puja108]

Yes, we'll be there. Also at the contrib summit shanghai. I'm not based in APAC most of my time, but happy to help where I can.

[idealhack]

Thanks to all the volunteers! We can start to work on this by resume the APAC version of SIG meetings. I'm thinking of a bi-weekly one after the current one (Wednesdays 9:30 PT), it could be around the old time (Wednesdays 20:00 PT) but does not have to. Let's do a doodle next week.

/assign

[idealhack]

To be clear, we will figure out things like the checklist above in this meeting at first, once that's done, we can run the APAC meetings full version eventually.

The doodle is here: https://doodle.com/poll/e2wx98nrc4g8ipek, please vote in a week if you want to join us :)
