With sigs.k8s.io/kind + lima-vm.io on an M4 Pro it is faster to recreate the cluster after raising the system inotify limit than wait for crashloopbackoff 😂

In addition to the CHAOSS guide about demonstrating the organizational value of your open source efforts, @mrbobbytabl.es and I recorded a podcast about it! I also have a session at OSPOlogy Lyon (Nov 5 & 6) on this same topic (registration is open & free)!

Happy to help in the publication of this guide. Sooo many projects and organizations have difficulty conveying the real value of their contributions; and its hard to justify continued contribution when you can't actually communicate its value.
We just launched a CHAOSS Practitioner Guide about Demonstrating Organizational Value. A huge thank you to @mrbobbytabl.es, since his presentations were the inspiration for the guide and they were the starting point for the content in the guide. fastwonderblog.com/2025/07/22/d...

Love the callout regarding Archived projects and that it’s okay for some projects to not move forward if. Archive also isn’t a “dead end”. Projects can come back from archive - OpenEBS recently did this with a reboot of their community :)

Kubernetes apparently made it into an NCIS episode - DURING KubeCon. I guess theres any clear indicator that K8s has hit peek adoption, its that it gets used as techno-jargon to explain things in TV 🤣
