by The KubeStellar Community The KCP-Edge community has decided to rebrand. Our new community name is KubeStellar. This change of name acknowledges the addition of multi-cloud and multi-cluster to the edge use-case we are pursuing. You can find us at KubeStellar.io and docs.kubestellar.io. We have created some new mailing lists — kubestellar-dev@googlegroups.com and kubestellar-users@googlegroups.com. We have a new shared google drive folder — https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1p68MwkX0sYdTvtup0DcnAEsnXElobFLS?usp=sharing.
