+### Session: "Do You Even Merge?" - Welcome To Maintainers Life, Please Bring Snacks and Boundaries
+
+<p>
+Open Source maintainers are often seen as gatekeepers of progress, expected to fix bugs, review PRs, design features, answer questions, and keep the community happy. But behind that façade is often an unexpected reality, especially in high-velocity CNCF projects.
+
+In this talk, we will share what it’s like to maintain a CNCF Graduated project, not just the technical side, but the human side: how we keep the project growing, prioritize responsibly, and how governance structures like SIGs help scale responsibilities. You’ll hear stories, lessons, and hard truths that rarely make it into blog posts.
+
+The more successful a project becomes, the harder it gets to sustain, and that’s something we don’t acknowledge enough. If you’ve ever wondered why your issue didn’t get a response, why a feature was declined, or what “being supportive” really looks like in open source, this talk will help you understand the maintainer’s side and maybe rethink your own role in the ecosystem to support them.
