We need to work better with other adjacent communities. We need to
find/make a place in the new/larger eco systems that are beginning to
shape up. I'd like to focus on intersections, boundaries to improve
what's possible and put our best foot (play to our strengths) forward.
This includes Kubernetes, Golang, Containers in general. Hopefully i
can get more people interested and excited in this initiative
irrespective of whether i am on the TC or not.

Thanks,
Dims
