Thanks @kevin-wangzefeng
Two little notes but this looks great
| - **Document subproject governance details**: The subproject removal process, per-subproject maturity status, and a public per-subproject maintainer list are not yet documented and should be completed before graduation. | ||
| - **Integrate with the official CNCF calendar**: Weekly community meetings are documented in a public Google Doc; adding them to the official CNCF calendar would make them easier to find. | ||
| - **Keep the contributing guide current**: The contributing guide has not been updated since 2024 and should be reviewed periodically to match the current state of the project. | ||
| - **Fix the short-term roadmap board link**: The short-term roadmap link to the Confidential Containers GitHub board in `roadmap.md` is broken (outdated "view") and should be corrected. |

This should be fixed by confidential-containers/confidential-containers#366

| ### Adoption Evaluation | ||
|
|
||
| The TOC interviewed four adopters of Confidential Containers — IBM, NVIDIA, AccuKnox, and TDC — spanning hardware vendors, cloud and security vendors, telecom, and enterprise IT across multiple geographies. All four reported pre-production or dev/test usage on recent releases (versions 0.13 through 0.18), which matches the level of adoption expected for Incubation. Several adopters also contribute upstream or hold maintainer roles, and most track the project closely as the foundation for downstream products. |

The NVIDIA Reference Architecture for Confidential Containers is GA now btw https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/confidential-containers/latest/overview.html
But this hadn't happened yet when the interview was conducted, so fine to keep as is
