## Context
Machine learning in production environments is a mission-critical part of a growing number of products and services across many industries. To become an [AI First company](https://ai.google/), Google required a state-of-the-art production ML infrastructure framework, and created TensorFlow Extended (TFX). Google open-sourced TFX in 2019 to enable other developers worldwide to benefit from and help us improve the TFX framework, and established open layers within the TFX architecture specifically focused at customization for a wide range of developer needs. These include custom pipeline components, containers, templates, and orchestrator support.

In order to accelerate the sharing of community customizations and additions to TFX, the TFX team would like to encourage, enable, and organize community contributions to help continue to meet the needs of production ML, expand the vision, and help drive new directions for TFX and the ML community.

## Goals & Objectives
## Goals & Objectives
We welcome community contributions on any area of TFX, but this SIG will initially focus on the following goals:
- Driving the development of high-quality custom pipeline components, including Python function-based components, container-based components, and fully custom components.
- Shaping a standardized set of descriptive metadata for community-contributed components to enable easy understanding, comparison, and sharing of components during discovery.

Although TFX is an open-source project and we welcome contributions to TFX itself, **this SIG does not include contributions or additions to core TFX**. It is focused only on building community-contributed and maintained additions on top of core TFX. [Core TFX has its own repo](https://github.com/tensorflow/tfx), and PRs and issues will continue to be managed there. **In addition, all contributions must not violate the [Google AI Principles](https://ai.google/principles/) or [Responsible AI Practices](https://ai.google/responsibilities/responsible-ai-practices/).**

## Membership
We encourage any developers working in production ML environments, infrastructure, or applications to join and participate in the activities of the SIG. Whether you are working on advancing the platform, prototyping or building specific applications, or authoring new components, templates, libraries, and/or orchestrator support, we welcome your feedback on and contributions to TFX and its tooling, and are eager to hear about any downstream results, implementations, and extensions.

I think we can remove this and instead just reference the sig tfx-addons google group. No need to keep a separate group for core.

Yeah, we haven't been using that much. It does still exist, and we can use it, but it probably doesn't need to be mentioned here.


We will create a new mailing list for TFX SIG members.
