Welcome to the Kubernetes community documentation. Here you can learn about what's happening in the community.

Kubernetes uses Slack for community discussions.

Join: Joining is self service. Go to slack.k8s.io to join.

Access: Once you join, the team can be found at kubernetes.slack.com

Archives: Discussions on most channels are archived at kubernetes.slackarchive.io. Start archiving by inviting the slackarchive bot to a channel via /invite @slackarchive

To add new channels, contact one of the admins. Currently that includes briangrant, goltermann, jbeda, sarahnovotny and thockin.

Many important announcements and discussions end up on the main development group.

The weekly community meeting provides an opportunity for the different SIGs, WGs and other parts of the community to come together. More information about joining the weekly community meeting is available on our [agenda working document] (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VQDIAB0OqiSjIHI8AWMvSdceWhnz56jNpZrLs6o7NJY/edit#)

Much of the community activity is organized into a community meeting, numerous SIGs and time bounded WGs. Each of those groups operates a little differently which is reflected in how they capture notes, examples, and other information. Each groups material is in its subdirectory in this project.

The community meeting calendar is available as an [iCal to subscribe to] (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics) (simply copy and paste the url into any calendar product that supports the iCal format) or [html to view] (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles).

• Propose the new SIG publicly, including a brief mission statement, by emailing [email protected] and [email protected], then wait a couple of days for feedback

  • Put a description of the topic in the welcome message
  • Set "Join the group" and "Post" to "Public"
• Ask a repo maintainer to create a github label, if one doesn't already exist: area/foo
• If you wish, request a new kubernetes.slack.com channel (#sig-foo) from @sarahnovotny. New users can join at slack.kubernetes.io.
• Organize video meetings as needed. No need to wait for the Weekly Community Video Conference to discuss. Please 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 [email protected].
• Use existing proposal and PR process
• Announce new SIG on [email protected] and ask a repo maintainer to create a kubernetes/community directory and github team for the new group
• Submit a PR to add any SIG-related docs, schedules, roadmaps, etc. to your new kubernetes/community/SIG-foo directory.
• Slack activity is archived at kubernetes.slackarchive.io. To start archiving a new channel invite the slackarchive bot to the channel via /invite @slackarchive
