Looks like I missed the t-shirt contest.
Jorge, maybe you can post a link to a K8 t-shirt that we can order on our own.
My name is Gib. I work at a big company near Detroit. I run a small innovation lab that is just now starting to use K8 and OpenStack.
Welcome Gib! The Kubernetes section of the CNCF store is here: Kubernetes – CNCF Store | Get stickers, t-shirts, hoodies, and more.
We could perhaps run a new tshirt contest if anyone has any ideas.

Hi everyone!
I’m Pete, and I am a fellow Kubernetes administrator and SRE/DevOps practitioner. I’ve run k8s in production at three separate companies and have been using it since sometime in the 0.x beta tree. I occasionally write open-source utilities to make Kubernetes work better for me.
Thanks for the invite; I’m excited to participate in these Kubernetes discussions.
