I'm the executive director of CNCF and would be happy to answer any follow-up questions. Here's a good overview deck:

Oh! Well then, nice to meet you!

This deck looks very interesting, I don't mean to hijack this thread and make it an AMA, but I do have some questions for you.

- What does it mean to host my project with CNCF?

- Why was CNCF created?

- What do you consider the core services that CNCF offers?

- I have colleagues who work in the automotive industry, I know cluster technology and IoT are huge for them right now but also it's a strange place to operate. Since they have a small community compared to normal web services, what sort of value prop are you providing to them?

- Why should I look at CNCF for resources relating to my companies cloud services?

- Your company/product really does not appear to be geared towards developers, which I would think would be essential, can you show me a developer portal that tells me why I should depend on you for the information you appear to be aggregating?

Halfway down https://www.cncf.io/projects/ has the best overview of why you should host your project with CNCF and the services we provide.

In the automotive industry, I would recommend our sister organization, Automotive Grade Linux. https://www.automotivelinux.org/

The first question I asked was really important. I think y'all are selling snake oil. Your responses here confirm that for me.

I personally will be avoiding your organization like the plague.
