Hi, I'm Aaron Crickenberger (aka Aaron of SIG Beard). I work on Kubernetes,
and am mainly interested in things that improve contributors' lives. My
current employer is Google
My Myers-Briggs is INFP last time I checked. I empathize a lot and prefer
1:1 conversation. Peopling for too long will wear me out. I bias toward
action, preferring to solve today's instance of the problem before solving
tomorrow's class of the problem. For larger problems I value public,
documented decisions, driven and validated by data rather than gut feel.
Favorite foods: popcorn feeds my soul. I have been told this isn't a meal, and
refuse to believe it. Burgers and sushi are also acceptable.
Contact
The best way to reach me is @spiffxp on kubernetes.slack.com. It is the only
thing that notifies me, though I mute all notifcations off-hours (I'm usuallly
in the Pacific timezone). See Current Status for who to
contact if I'm not available
Everything else is best-effort, poll-only, including:
I take forever to write things. I'm far more comfortable talking things over,
either in slack, or via whatever video-conference works for you (I like Zoom,
Slack, and Google Hangouts)
Current Status
I am an Organizer for K8s Infra Working Group. We
are setting up the public, community-owned home for all Kubernetes project
infrastructure. If I'm unavailable, please contact @dims
I am an active participant in the Kubernetes Conformance subproject.
I am focused on improving conformance test coverage. I'm doing this via test
authorship, PR review, tooling to lint conformance tests, and tooling to
measure coverage. I coordinate with members of the cncf/apisnoop team.
If I'm unavailable, please contact @timothysc
I'm a subproject owner for the Kubernetes GitHub Admin Team.
I am focused on ensuring the team is operating in a sustainable manner.
I'm on my second term as a Kubernetes Steering Committee
member. I am focused on empowering the community and reducing areas where the
committee is a bottleneck. If I'm unavailable please contact another member
My Average Week
I actively participate in the following Kubernetes-related groups:
This means I show up to their weekly meetings, I'm in their slack channels,
I read their mailing lists (though am generally quiet), I create/triage
issues, and I author/review PR's.
I use the Gubernator PR Dashboard to keep track of PRs that
need my review. They pile up pretty quickly and my time is limited, so I am
unable to get to all of them nor am I able to respond as quickly as I would
like. I aim for a weekly thorough sweep.
Speaking Experience
I have a YouTube playlist of my talks. I usually
recycle my steering committee election bio for a speaker bio
