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.

CODE OF CONDUCT

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

COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVITY

Please review The Linux Foundation's Inclusive Speaker Orientation and Inclusive Language Initiative.
