<p>A vibrant development community continues to help make Kubernetes the profoundly <a class="local-link" href="https://thenewstack.io/future-beyond-kubernetes-1-9/">successful open source project</a> it has become. In just a few years after Kubernetes was created as an in-house project by Google, Kubernetes’ <a class="ext-link" href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2017/10/kubernetes-community-steering-committee-election-results/">governance processes</a> have also served to underpin the platform’s adoption as well. And a healthy community is at the heart of <a class="local-link" href="https://thenewstack.io/future-beyond-kubernetes-1-9/">any successful source project</a>.</p>
<p>At the same time, the open source community is not a “static asset.” To be permanently successful and to move forward, any open source project also needs a growing pool of contributors in order to survive. That’s why the Kubernetes community is working on multiple programs, focused on onboarding contributors, including the <a class="ext-link" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/imported/community/mentoring/">Kubernetes Mentoring initiative</a>, <a class="ext-link" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/imported/community/guide/">Kubernetes Contributing guide</a> and <a class="ext-link" href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/03/expanding-user-support-with-office-hours/">Office Hours</a>, as well as <a class="ext-link" href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/07/10/meet-our-contributors---monthly-streaming-youtube-mentoring-series/">“Meet our Contributors sessions”</a>, <a class="ext-link" href="https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-cli/outreachy.md">Outreachy</a> and even <a class="ext-link" href="https://www.cncf.io/blog/2018/06/22/cncf-joins-google-summer-of-code-2018-with-projects-envoy-proxy-containerd-coredns-prometheus-kubernetes-and-rook/">Google Summer of Code (GSoC)</a>, which is one of the most popular and well-known programs for the new contributors to the open source projects in the world. Some of the stand-out contributors have also garnered i<a class="ext-link" href="https://twitter.com/CloudNativeFdn/status/938565409145589760">ndustry recognition</a>.</p>
<h3>Releases, Features and Roadmap</h3>
<p>Kubernetes is a technology, first and foremost. And the project obviously couldn’t be so successful if the technology did not offer such a profound benefit to organizations.</p>
<p>The most important releases of Kubernetes occur four times per year, providing a new set of features each time. The patch releases (delivering security patches and bug fixes) take place even more often, keeping the codebase always up-to-date.</p>
