Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit of your background, and what does a CTO of a foundation like the CNCF do? 

Topic 2 - What does the CNCF do these days, and what should various stakeholders, partners and consumers of CNCF “things” (projects, events, training, etc.) expect from the CNCF? 

Topic 3 - The CNCF has a number of ways to represent technologies under its governance - Landscape, Technology Radar, etc. As the CTO, how do you think about all the different ways there are to solve problems using CNCF technologies? 

Topic 4 - How much do you worry about the economy slowing down, in the sense of it impacting VC funding for companies that might be at the core of projects (especially new projects). Does the CNCF need a certain amount of volume of projects to provide value, or are you mostly focused on doing good governance to the projects in front of you?

Topic 5 - As the CTO of the CNCF, do you feel like there are “core” projects that need more of your attention because of how many other projects have dependencies? Or are there key concepts that you try to infuse into projects, knowing how interconnected they become?

Topic 6 - Every technologist has their areas of interest.  You recently did a post on your predictions for 2023 that everyone should check out. What are some of yours as you look out at 2023?  

Topic 7 - What are some of the new things that the CNCF is working on this year?
