KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2023 – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNC), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, announced the winners of the seventh annual CNCF Community Awards. The Community Awards recognize CNCF community members who are going above and beyond to advance cloud native technology. CNCF now hosts 173 projects with more than 219,000 contributors and over 800 members.
“The cloud native ecosystem can’t function without the amazing open source community that collaborates together to drive technology forward,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO, CNCF. “While we can’t recognize every member doing amazing work, it’s an honor to be able to award these individuals and organizations that have gone above and beyond in the past year to make the community better.”
This year’s awards are presented in the following categories: Top Committer, Chop Wood Carry Water, Top Documentarian, and, new this year, the TAGGIE and Tiny but Mighty. The winners were nominated by the CNCF community and voted on by CNCF staff and the TOC.
Top Committer: This award recognizes excellence in technical contributions to CNCF and its hosted projects. The CNCF Top Committer has made key commits to projects and, more importantly, contributes in a way that benefits the project as a whole. CNCF is pleased to present the award to:

Small but Mighty: This award recognizes the company or organization in the community with the largest impact. CNCF is made up of hundreds of thousands of individuals and organizations, each providing valuable contributions, but this award is presented to an organization punching above its weight. CNCF is pleased to present this award to:
- Weaveworks – Weaveworks enables teams to build, automate, secure and manage cloud native infrastructure and applications quickly, reliably, and at scale. As one of the first CNCF members, they have been instrumental in the GitOps movement, along with being one of the CNCF’s top contributors for several open source projects, including the Graduated CNCF project – Flux, Flagger, Cortex, OpenGitOps, and many more.
