SIG Governance

In order to standardize Special Interest Group efforts, create maximum transparency, and route contributors to the appropriate SIG, SIGs should follow the guidelines stated below:

  • Meet regularly, at least for 30 minutes every 3 weeks, except November and December
  • Keep up-to-date meeting notes, linked from the SIG's page in the community repo
  • Announce meeting agenda and minutes after each meeting, on their SIG mailing list
  • Record SIG meeting and make it publicly available
  • Ensure the SIG's mailing list and slack channel are archived
  • Report activity in the weekly community meeting at least once every 6 weeks
  • Participate in release planning meetings and retrospectives, and burndown meetings, as needed
  • Ensure related work happens in a project-owned github org and repository, with code and tests explicitly owned and supported by the SIG, including issue triage, PR reviews, test-failure response, bug fixes, etc.
  • Use the above forums as the primary means of working, communicating, and collaborating, as opposed to private emails and meetings

In addition, SIGs have the following responsibilities to SIG PM:

  • identify SIG annual roadmap
  • identify all SIG features in the current release
  • actively track / maintain SIG features within k/features
  • attend SIG PM meetings, as needed / requested

SIG Roles

Defining SIG Roles is a function of the SIG Charter.
Guidelines for drafting a SIG Charter can be found here.

SIG creation and maintenance procedure

Prerequisites

  • Propose the new SIG publicly, including a brief mission statement, by emailing kubernetes-dev@googlegroups.com and kubernetes-users@googlegroups.com, then wait a couple of days for feedback.
  • Ask a repo maintainer to create a github label, if one doesn't already exist: sig/foo.
  • Request a new kubernetes.slack.com channel (#sig-foo) from the #slack-admins channel. New users can join at slack.kubernetes.io.
  • Slack activity is archived at kubernetes.slackarchive.io. To start archiving a new channel invite the slackarchive bot to the channel via /invite @slackarchive
  • 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 by emailing Paris Pittman(parispittman@google.com) and Jorge Castro(jorge@heptio.com). You must set up a google group (see below) for the SIG leads so that all the SIG leads have the ability to reset the password if necessary.
  • Read how to use YouTube for publishing your videos to the Kubernetes channel.
  • Calendars
    1. Create a calendar on your own account. Make it public.
    2. Share it with all SIG leads with full ownership of the calendar - they can edit, rename, or even delete it.
    3. Share it with sc1@kubernetes.io, sc2@kubernetes.io, sc3@kubernetes.io, with full ownership. This is just in case SIG leads ever disappear.
    4. Share it with the SIG mailing list, lowest privileges.
    5. Share individual events with cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk@group.calendar.google.com to publish on the universal calendar.
  • Use existing proposal and PR process (to be documented)
  • Announce new SIG on kubernetes-dev@googlegroups.com
  • Leads should subscribe to the kubernetes-sig-leads mailing list
  • Submit a PR to add a row for the SIG to the table in the kubernetes/community README.md file, to create a kubernetes/community directory, and to add any SIG-related docs, schedules, roadmaps, etc. to your new kubernetes/community/SIG-foo directory.

Creating a mailing list

Create a Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!creategroup, following the procedure:

Each SIG must have two discussion groups with the following settings.

  • kubernetes-sig-foo (the discussion group):
    • Anyone can view content.
    • Anyone can join.
    • Anyone can post.
    • Only members can view the list of members.
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-leads (list for the leads, to be used with Zoom and Calendars)
    • Only members can view group content.
    • Anyone can apply to join.
    • Anyone can post.
    • Only members can view the list of members.
  • Groups should be created as e-mail lists with at least three owners (including parispittman at google.com and ihor.dvoretskyi at gmail.com);
  • To add the owners, visit the Group Settings (drop-down menu on the right side), select Direct Add Members on the left side and add Paris and Ihor via email address (with a suitable welcome message); in Members/All Members select Ihor and Paris and assign to an "owner role"
  • Set "View topics", "Post", "Join the Group" permissions to be "Public";
