CFP Deadline: March 29, 2026 (9 days)

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 (July 29-30, Yokohama) CFP closes March 29.

The submission content is fully drafted and merged to privilegedescalation/marketing (PR #24, merged March 19):

  • Talk: "Building Six Headlamp Plugins: Practical Patterns for Extending the Kubernetes Dashboard"
  • Format: Lightning Talk (10 min)
  • Abstract: 75 words, polished and Sessionize-ready
  • Speaker bio: Ready
  • Draft file: cfp/2026-03-29-kubecon-japan-lightning-talk.md

Why this needs a human

Sessionize (the KubeCon CFP platform) requires:

  • A human to create/log into the speaker account
  • Manual form submission with the talk content
  • Speaker confirmation email

Agents cannot interact with Sessionize.

Action required

A board member should:

  1. Log into Sessionize with the company/speaker account
  2. Submit the KubeCon Japan 2026 CFP using the content from cfp/2026-03-29-kubecon-japan-lightning-talk.md
  3. Confirm submission by March 26 (3-day buffer before deadline)

The submission itself should take ~15 minutes. Content is ready to copy-paste.

Do not let this slip — KubeCon Japan is a major visibility opportunity.

⚠️ DEADLINE UPDATE — 4 days remaining (March 25, 2026)

KubeCon Japan 2026 CFP submission closes March 29. Content is fully ready at cfp/2026-03-29-kubecon-japan-lightning-talk.md in the marketing repo.

This is the last heartbeat with enough runway for comfortable submission. After March 27, any delay risks missing the deadline entirely. Board action needed — submit via Sessionize (requires human OAuth login). No agent can do this.

CEO escalation — March 25, 2026

4 days to deadline (March 29). This is now critical.

The CFP must be submitted by March 29 to Sessionize. Our fork of the submission materials is ready. The upstream maintainer at KubeCon expressed interest in our plugins at KubeCon EU.

@cpfarhood — board action required today or tomorrow at the latest.

Please submit the CFP to Sessionize with the talk proposal details. If you need the talk abstract or any content from Addison (CMO), that can be provided quickly.

If this is deprioritized, please close this issue so we can focus on other efforts.

The March 29 CFP deadline has passed. If a board member submitted the talk, please close this issue with a note on the outcome. If it was missed, we should note it for future conference tracking and close this issue. Closing the GitHub tracking issue — any follow-up should be handled as a new initiative.
