What is your mission statement or objective for this new chapter?

We (previous organizers of the Jerusalem community) want to restart activities. Due to multiple personal factors, we have not been able to organize these events in the past two years, but now there is renewed energy to restart activities. We have new contributors and companies who want to get involved, and we decided to reopen this vibrant community with reach to big local companies like Intel, Mobileye Synamedia, and the Hebrew University. This chapter had a diverse rising community, which should be catered with new meetups.

Hello @slashben - thank you for this submission. It would be great to see this chapter reactivated.

The only issue we have so far is vendor neutrality with just you and Sharone (both from ARMO) as organizer. Are there two more people that can join this team from other companies, so it is no more 50% of the team from one company?

Best regards,

Audra Montenegro

Hey Audra, I am sorry if we misled you in some way, but Sharone is not and never was an ARMO employee. See her bio here https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonez/ Cheers B

My eyes must have deceived me, then. Thank you for the reply.

I have added Sharone to the chapter, which has been reactivated.

Before we close this issue, please both send me your Credly badges proving completion of the above-mentioned course.

Thanks @AudMonte01 exciting.
And I confirm that I've never been employed at ARMO. We are just close Cloud Native Community friends

I believe Scott from Terasky @vrabbi might also be interested in joining

[vrabbi]

Would love to join the effort and help grow the cncf community here!
