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: 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
• Create a new kubernetes.slack.com channel (#sig-foo)
• 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 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/
