7. Discussion: GitHub Repo
   • We are now using a independent GitHub Repo to host Helm Repo China
   
   • Chinese developer will contribute their charts (maybe in Chinese) in to
   this GitHub Repo
   
   • Is this a concern for Helm community? Like, fragmentation?
   
   • We are fully open to merge our GitHub Repo with Helm Charts repo,
   or host/contribute this repo to Helm Github org

8. Discussion: Helm Roadmap
   • We hope to use Helm as CD pipeline, while Helm is still kinda “monolithic”
   
   • Any plan to split Helm components?
   
   • Or, Helm CD project？
   
   • Hope to cooperate with Helm community closely!
