Pulumi has introduced the Puluminaries program to honor and recognize experts and leaders within its community who actively contribute to its growth and development. Launched officially at PulumiUP in 2022, this initiative highlights individuals who excel in programming and infrastructure, provide invaluable feedback, and educate others through workshops and content. Notable members of the inaugural cohort include Engin Diri, who participates enthusiastically in PulumiVision livestreams; Joshua Studt, a contributor to the Automation API for C#; Kat Morgan, who shares her knowledge through workshops and webinars; Komal Ali, who has improved Pulumi's Python SDK and Automation API; Paul Hicks, known for his comprehensive expertise and community support; Ringo De Smet and Simen A. W. Olsen, who co-founded the Pulumiverse for collaborative efforts; and Rizel Scarlett, recognized for her teaching and participation in events. Pulumi encourages community members to nominate others who demonstrate similar dedication and expertise.
