AI AND MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS

Please avoid submitting low-effort, AI-generated proposals. While CNCF does not ban the use of AI, especially since it can be a helpful tool for non-native English speakers, we strongly discourage submissions that appear to be low-quality or clearly AI-generated “slop.” If we identify that a submitter is consistently submitting AI-generated slop, it may result in removal from the review process and/or a ban from future CNCF CFPs.

By submitting, you agree to the CNCF Code of Conduct.

COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVITY
