The fire continued to blaze onward. We created SIGs - Special Interest Groups - to gather people weekly or bi-weekly to discuss specific areas of interest. I co-created and co-led SIG-Apps. My interest was figuring out how to make it easy to build, install and manage applications in Kubernetes and the tools we needed on top of Kubernetes.
