[Contribute](https://form.typeform.com/to/RtEajZdo?typeform-source=hub.pointfive.co) ## Governance Overview The Cloud Efficiency Hub is a community-driven project. From day one, our goal has been to create something open, collaborative, and built by practitioners for practitioners. To help keep the Hub content useful and high-quality as it grows, we've introduced a governance model. [Become a contributor](https://form.typeform.com/to/RtEajZdo?typeform-source=hub.pointfive.co) ## [Contributors](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/contributors) The hub invites contributions from anyone, regardless of role or title. Whether it's a new inefficiency, an update to existing Hub content, or feedback on the Hub itself, we welcome input from across the community. The Hub's team reviews, discusses, every submission. [See all](https://www.pointfive.co/efficiency-hub/contributors) ## Maintainers After a contributor has had three published submissions, they're welcome to apply to join the Maintainer group. Maintainers are established contributors who review new submissions. They keep the Hub's content consistent, accurate, and actionable. Maintainers don't make decisions in isolation. They work closely with contributors and the broader community while reviewing submissions and making recommendations. - Simar Arora ### Simar Arora Value Engineer, FinOps @ Snowflake Focus: Snowflake [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simarpreet-arora/) - Dor Azouri ### Dor Azouri VP of Research @ PointFive Focus: AWS, GCP, Azure [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dorazouri/) - Ben de Mora ### Ben de Mora FinOps Lead @ GitLab Focus: AWS, GCP [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bendemora/) - Jason Eckle ### Jason Eckle Manager Cloud FinOps @ Etsy Focus: GCP [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoneckle/) - Balazs Engedi ### Balazs Engedi FinOps Specialist @ KPN Focus: Azure, AWS [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/engedib/) - Yuval Goldstein ### Yuval Goldstein Cloud Researcher @ PointFive Focus: AWS, GCP, Azure [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/goldstein-yuval/) - Abhishek Jain ### Abhishek Jain Platform Architect @ Smarsh Focus: AWS, Azure [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhishekj150492/) - Diana Lezcano ### Diana Lezcano Founder, Utopian Trips Focus: AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-lezcano/) - Ariel Lichterman ### Ariel Lichterman Cloud Researcher @ PointFive Focus: AWS, GCP, Azure [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariel-fishman-lichterman-01a096214/) - Shireen Maini ### Shireen Maini Ops Lead @ BroadPeak Partners Focus: AWS, Azure [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shireen-maini/) - Dr. Christine Oji ### Dr. Christine Oji Cloud FinOps Engineer Focus: AWS [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-christine-o-761484114/) - Matthew Weingarten ### Matthew Weingarten Senior Data Engineer @ Samsara Focus: Databricks [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewweingarten201/) - Anderson Oliveria ### Anderson Oliveria Founder | FinOps | Consultant @ ZEPHYR GLOBE Focus: Azure [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anderson-c-oliveira/) - Omri Tsabari ### Omri Tsabari Cloud Researcher @ PointFive Focus: AWS, GCP, Azure [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/omrits/) - Matt Walls ### Matt Walls Cloud FinOps Engineer Focus: AWS, GCP [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wallsmatthew/) ## Governing Board The Governing Board is a small group of community members who work together to steer the Hub's long-term direction. Governing Board members review proposals from Maintainers, approve content additions and updates, and help ensure the Hub remains true to its mission. The board also serves as ambassadors for the Hub. It answers questions, helps onboard new contributors, and represents the project in the broader cloud and FinOps communities. An early goal of the board will be to define a charter and roadmap based on the needs of the community. The board will select the Chair of the Governing Board. The Chair is responsible for facilitating collaboration and coordination across the project. - Dor Azouri ### Dor Azouri VP of Research @ PointFive [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dorazouri/) - Gal Ben David ### Gal Ben David CPO @ PointFive [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gal-ben-david/) - Michelle Dupuis ### Michelle Dupuis Senior Solutions Architect FinOps Professional @ Presidio [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-dupuis-37490a3/) - Jason Eckle ### Jason Eckle Manager Cloud FinOps @ Etsy [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoneckle/) - Taylor Houck ### Taylor Houck Head of Cloud & AI Efficiency @ PointFive [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/twhouck/) - Benjamin van der Maas ### Benjamin van der Maas Sr. FinOps Engineer @ Johnson & Johnson [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-van-der-maas-71168466/) - Jason DiDomenico ### Jason DiDomenico Director of FinOps @ Discover Financial Services [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasondidomenico/) - Vas M ### Vas M FinOps Fellow @ FinOps Foundation.
