This session will detail the trials and tribulations of starting with a few lines of code to fix a problem, to ending up with a project that underpins millions of Kubernetes clusters.

From angering end users by implementing what seemed at the time "a good idea" to being dragged in-front of a legal team, it isn’t all plain sailing.

However through this talk the attendees will hopefully learn the joys of being part of Open Source, the elation of a community that comes to contribute and the realisation that it was worth it in the end!
