We've just released "Learn Kubernetes weekly", a newsletter that features curated Kubernetes news, events, and job opportunities.

What you can expect:

- The best articles and tutorials to sharpen your Kubernetes skills.
- The best meetups, conferences, and training that you should attend.
- Libraries, frameworks, and tools that you can use in your projects.

The newsletter is not a collection of links or an essay; instead, we opted for a few short sentences for each article or project — so it's easier to judge if you should read the article or skip it.

The first issue is due tomorrow, and you can subscribe here: https://learnk8s.io/learn-kubernetes-weekly
