SIG creation procedure

Prerequisites

  • 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.

Creating service accounts for the SIG

With a purpose to distribute the channels of notification and discussion of the variuos topics, every SIG has to use multiple accounts to GitHub mentioning and notifications. Below the procedure is explained step-by-step.

NOTE: This procedure is managed and maintained by @idvoretskyi; please, reach him directly in case of any questions/suggestions.

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, add these users to the Kubernetes organization. If you don't have enought permissions to do that (by default, you don't), please request @idvoretskyi (backup person - @sarahnovotny) to help you with this. 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
