SIG creation procedure

  • 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
  • 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 @sarahnovotny. 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 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 (to be documented)
  • Announce new SIG on [email protected]
  • 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.

Google Groups creation

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

  • Each SIG should have one discussion groups, and a number of groups for mirroring relevant github notifications;
  • Create groups using the name conventions below;
  • Groups should be created as e-mail lists with at least three owners (including sarahnovotny 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 Sarah and Ihor via email address (with a suitable welcome message); in Members/All Members select Ihor and Sarah and assign to an "owner role";
  • Set "View topics", "Post", "Join the Group" permissions to be "Public"

Name convention:

  • kubernetes-sig-foo (the discussion group)
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-misc
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-test-failures
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-bugs
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-feature-requests
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-proposals
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-pr-reviews
  • kubernetes-sig-foo-api-reviews

Example:

  • kubernetes-sig-onprem
  • kubernetes-sig-onprem-misc
  • kubernetes-sig-onprem-test-failures
  • kubernetes-sig-onprem-bugs
  • kubernetes-sig-onprem-feature-requests
  • kubernetes-sig-onprem-proposals
  • kubernetes-sig-onprem-pr-reviews
  • kubernetes-sig-onprem-api-reviews

GitHub users creation

Create the GitHub users at https://github.com/join, using the name convention below.

As an e-mail address, please, use the Google Group e-mail address of the respective Google Group, created before (i.e. - for user ‘k8s-mirror-foo-misc’ use ‘[email protected]’). After creating the GitHub users, please, request @idvoretskyi (backup person - @sarahnovotny) to add these users to the Kubernetes organization. If github contacts you about having too many robot accounts, please let us know.

Name convention:

  • k8s-mirror-foo-misc
  • k8s-mirror-foo-test-failures
  • k8s-mirror-foo-bugs
  • k8s-mirror-foo-feature-requests
  • k8s-mirror-foo-proposals
  • k8s-mirror-foo-pr-reviews
  • k8s-mirror-foo-api-reviews

There is no need for a k8s-mirro-foo user.

Example:

  • k8s-mirror-onprem-misc
  • k8s-mirror-onprem-test-failures
  • k8s-mirror-onprem-bugs
  • k8s-mirror-onprem-feature-requests
  • k8s-mirror-onprem-proposals
  • k8s-mirror-onprem-pr-reviews
  • k8s-mirror-onprem-api-reviews

NOTE: We have found that Github's notification autocompletion finds the users before the corresponding teams. This is the reason we recommend naming the users k8s-mirror-foo-* instead of k8s-sig-foo-*. If you previously created users named k8s-sig-foo-*, we recommend you rename them.

Create the GitHub teams

Create the GitHub teams at https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/new-team, using the name convention below. Please, add the GitHub users (created before) to the GitHub teams respectively.

Name convention:

  • sig-foo-misc
  • sig-foo-test-failures
  • sig-foo-bugs
  • sig-foo-feature-requests
  • sig-foo-proposals
  • sig-foo-pr-reviews
  • sig-foo-api-reviews

Note that there should not be a sig-foo team. We want to encourage contributors to select the most appropriate team to notify.

Example:

  • sig-onprem-misc
  • sig-onprem-test-failures
  • sig-onprem-bugs
  • sig-onprem-feature-requests
  • sig-onprem-proposals
  • sig-onprem-pr-reviews
  • sig-onprem-api-reviews
