About the Group

Kubernetes Austin is the official CNCF Kubernetes meetup for Austin, Texas. We host talks from anyone doing cool things with Kubernetes, including companies using K8s in production or vendors who are pushing the boundaries of what K8s can do. Presentations are demo focused and not sales pitches.

Our Core Principles

This group follows these three central ideas:

• Open Sponsorships: Anyone can cover the cost of food, space, and travel for speakers. To not price out smaller vendors, sponsorship prices are not set beyond the cost. Organizations donating speakers, food/drinks, or space will automatically count as sponsors for the event.

• Democratized Organization: Anyone in the Kubernetes community that wants to help organize can be a part of process.

• Democratic Meetups: We believe that all Kubernetes Meetups should be democratic and those that do not allow others to take part in organizing and sponsoring are not in the spirit of open source.
