I, Henry, would like to join as a co-organizer or volunteer of the Cloud Native Quito/Cuenca chapter only if there is a space right now or in the future. I am passionate about DevOps, Cloud, Terraform, and eager to deepen my knowledge of Kubernetes, which I am currently learning as part of my professional development. One of my hobbies is exploring and reading about scalable solutions for cloud engineering teams.

Although I am still building hands-on experience with Kubernetes, I am highly motivated to learn, connect with people, and contribute actively to the community. I believe my enthusiasm for growth, collaboration, and community building will be an asset to the chapter. I am willing to start as a volunteer, supporting organizers and participants in any way needed, and I look forward to fostering curiosity, growth, and collaboration among local engineers and students.

Hello @hsniama! I am happy to assist with this request.

A few next steps:

• Can you please provide your credly badge for the Inclusive Open Source Community Orientation (LFC102) course
• We will need the approval of at least 50% of current organizers to proceed with this request.

@xllauca can you either provide confirmation for adding Henry as an organizer or provide guidance on how they can get more involved?
