- Here’s an update on Bionic Stemcell work.
- Seth Boyles (VMware) was confirmed as the new lead for the CAPI team.
- Alex Berez (VMware) was confirmed as the new lead for the CLI team.
- Read the App Runtime PMC notes from last week’s meeting. Or watch the video.
- Jesse Weaver is stepping down as lead for the Logging & Metrics team, and moving to a different role at VMware. Benjamin Fuller (VMware) has been nominated to take over as lead for that project.
- Here’s the video from today’s cf-for-k8s SIG meeting, with some in-depth discussion on the Vision for CF on Kubernetes doc.
