- End-user questions (Check out #office-hours on Slack and details here)
- Day of on Twitter - use the hashtag #k8smoc after your question
- Slack - Ask your question in #meet-our-contributors
Questions will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The first half of the discussion will be dedicated to questions for contributors and in the second half, we will pick a problem (in advance) for peer code review.
- At least 24 hours before the session to Slack channel (#meet-our-contributors)
Problems will be chosen based on time commitment needed, the skills of the reviewer, and if a large amount are submitted, need for the project.
Expectations of mentors:
- Be online 5 minutes early. You can look at questions in the queue by joining the #meet-our-contributors Slack channel to give yourself some time to prepare.
- Expect questions about the contribution process, membership, navigating the Kubernetes seas, testing, and general questions about you and your path to open source/Kubernetes. It's okay if you don't know the answer!
- We will be using video chat (Zoom, but livestreaming through YouTube) but voice-only is fine if you are more comfortable with that.
- Be willing to provide suggestions and feedback to make this process & experience better!
