Sadly, I will not be at KubeCon this week. To show all my kubernaut friends just how much I miss you, I have a small gift. If you missed out on getting a deck of Exploding Clusters cards, well now you can play online. exploding.k8s.io Go easy on me, it's just a "free time" project. Have fun!

Attending #KubeCon NA was a reminder of a truth I haven’t forgotten... The investigation into the harassment I reported took almost a year, and confirmed I was the victim. Yet, I received no acknowledgment from #CNCF leadership. That silence left a lasting impact. It still does. (1/3)
