+#### PipeCD
+
+##### GCP Cloud Run plugin for pipedv1
+
+- Description: PipeCD v1 - the new version based on a plugin architecture (ref: [PipeCD plugin-arch overview blog](https://pipecd.dev/blog/2024/11/28/overview-of-the-plan-for-pluginnable-pipecd/)), has released an alpha version, and we are rapidly adding features supported in v0. We need to develop a plugin for PipeCD v1 to support [GCP Cloud Run](https://cloud.google.com/run) deployment. In PipeCD v0, the support for GCP Cloud Run deployment is built in piped source directly (ref [PipeCD Cloud Run deployment](https://pipecd.dev/docs-v0.55.x/user-guide/managing-application/defining-app-configuration/cloudrun/)), the idea is to move the Cloud Run deployment support to the plugin to make it easier to maintain and extend.
+- Expected Outcome:
+  - CloudRun plugin for PipeCD
+  - Possible update plugin SDK while develop the plugin
+  - Possible update docs how to develop PipeCD plugin
+  - Blog about how to develop a PipeCD plugin on [https://pipecd.dev/blog/](https://pipecd.dev/blog/)
+- Recommended Skills:
+  - Golang
+  - GCP Cloud Run
+  - GitOps
+  - Continuous Delivery (CD)
