Maintainer Summit Europe 2025

Is your project starting to outgrow your initial Design Proposal Process? Are you wondering what changes to make and how? The Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal Process continues to evolve to accommodate the demands of a high velocity and volume project. But a mature process can be daunting to smaller projects who might be wrestling with whether their project even needs one.KubeVirt started with no process, but as the project has increased in size, popularity, and complexity, design proposals became not just an excellent way to converge on better solutions, they are fundamental to ensuring long-term maintenance, openness, and prioritisation of features. So much so that we have developed our own Enhancement Proposal process.
Join us and learn more about our different approaches, processes, and the journeys of how and why we got here and where we’re heading next. We'll share lessons learned to give you a jump start on smoothly scaling (or starting) your own design proposal process.
