Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Eric Tune edited this page Apr 12, 2016 · 38 revisions

Special interest groups are for discussing subtopics within the broader Kubernetes project among interested contributors.

Mechanics

  • Create a group with at least 2 owners: kubernetes-sig-foo@googlegroups.com
    • Put a description of the topic in the welcome message
  • Ask a repo maintainer to create a github label, if one doesn't already exist: area/foo
  • If you wish, create a new kubernetes.slack.com channel (#sig-foo). Users can join at slack.kubernetes.io.
  • Organize video meetings as needed. No need to wait for Thursday Community Hangout to discuss. Can report summary of SIG activities there.
  • Request a Zoom account from @sarahnovotny if you expect more than 30 attendees or attendees from China.
  • add the meeting to the community meeting calendar by inviting cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk@group.calendar.google.com.
  • Use existing proposal and PR process
  • Announce new SIG on kubernetes-dev@googlegroups.com and ask a repo maintainer to add it to this wiki
  • Submit a PR to add any SIG-related docs, schedules, roadmaps, etc. to docs/devel/sigs/
  • Slack activity is archived at kubernetes.slackarchive.io. To start archiving a new channel invite the slackarchive bot to the channel via /invite @slackarchive
