Introduction

Knative is a Kubernetes-based platform to deploy and manage modern serverless workloads. See the Knative documentation for in-depth information about using Knative.

Knative authors

Knative is an open source project with an active development community. The project was started by Google but has contributions from a growing number of industry-leading companies.

Authoring samples

Beyond the official documentation there are endless possibilities for combining tools, platforms, languages, and products. By submitting a tutorial you can share your experience and help others who are solving similar problems.

Community tutorials are stored in Markdown files under the community folder Community Samples. These documents are contributed, reviewed, and maintained by the community.

Submit a Pull Request to the community sample directory under the Knative component folder that aligns with your document. For example, Knative Serving samples are under the serving folder. A reviewer will be assigned to review your submission. They'll work with you to ensure that your submission is clear, correct, and meets the style guide, but it helps if you follow it as you write your tutorial.

Meetings and work groups

Knative has public and recorded monthly community meetings. You can see the agenda and links to previous recordings here.

Each project has one or more working groups driving the project, and Knative has a single technical oversight committee monitoring the overall project.

There's also a Knative Calendar that has all the Knative related meetings in one place.

How can I help

If you're looking for something to do to get your feet wet working on Knative, look for GitHub issues marked with the Help Wanted label:

• Eventing issues
• Serving issues
• Documentation repo
• All of Knative

Even if there's not an issue opened for it, we can always use more testing throughout the platform. Similarly, we can always use more docs, richer docs, insightful docs. Or maybe a cool blog post? And if you're a web developer, we could use your help in spiffing up our public-facing web site.
