Developer News
Dims has requested that all SIGs review their Alpha and Beta features for ones that are "stuck" and need to advance or be removed.
The Kubernetes Github account now has access to a few new Github Issue features; sub-issues and advanced search seem particularly useful for us.
Maintainer Track submissions for Kubecon China are now open. The main track CfPs for India and Japan are also open.

129543: DRA API: bump maximum size of ReservedFor to 256
This PR increases the maximum size of the ReservedFor field in the DRA API from
32 to 256 to accommodate larger workloads, such as those involving shared non-local
resources like interconnect channels. This change addresses use cases like NVIDIA GB200
and Google TPU, where a higher limit is necessary for workloads spanning multiple nodes.
Warning: downgrades to Kubernetes 1.32 may be impacted if ResourceClaims
exceed 256.
