Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

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

Mechanics

• Create a group with at least 2 owners: [email protected]
  • 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 hangouts as needed. No need to wait for Friday Community Hangout to discuss. Can report summary of SIG activities there.
• Use existing proposal and PR process
• Announce new SIG on [email protected] 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
