Call to action on contributors. Stay scoped. Link to project board.

But it gives us no idea of how many problems exist. + * [Bob] Was the same problem as before, though. That’s why we let it soak for 2 months with the old one. We’ve searched for consistent issues right now, and it seems like it’s mostly new contributors that signed the old CLA and the database sync hasn’t happened. It’s a small number. So we should be mostly set at this point. (Bob’s been talking with LF about this a lot.) Things should be pretty good by now. + * Test Infra PR: [https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/pull/24844](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/pull/24844) + * ^^ Open PR for flipping to EasyCLA. + * [Madhav] Key difference: We have removed our bot’s message on every CLA-no. Message from the LF bot now includes those details automatically. No need to duplicate notifications. + * [Madhav] k/k issues right now are mostly along the lines of support vs bugs or feature requests. Also there’s quite a few bugs/requests that are opened against versions no longer supported. + * There have been discussions (and an issue opened) around how to handle support issues. Different SIGs do different things (some ignore, some attempt to answer). The triage bot also close issues actively if it’s support with rotten and all, which is a negative experience. + * Instead of letting the triage bot auto-close, what if we had a “kind/support” label? The bot then responds with “hey, this is a support request, it will be closed in 30 days, but here’s where you can get support.” (to avoid the rotten message). ← Update the lifecycle plugin. + * Feedback: + * [Josh] Why leave them open for 30 days? + * [Madhav] To provide as much support as possible, but set expectation that there’s no guarantee of support. + * [Bob] SIGs don’t all triage the same, either. A lot of the time, there are things left open. Alternative messaging other than “rotten” would be helpful. + * [Madhav] Same logic but for out-of-support versions + * Triage label for “out of support” that has the same 30 day period and the bot tells them with a link to the version policy, etc. Will need to consider who can apply the label. + * Feedback: + * [Bob] Would this require bumping each time? + * [Josh] No, think the tag is stateless. + * [Madhav] Only org members or someone specific could apply that label. + * [Bob] Oh, so not automatically applied. + * [Josh] Would definitely need to have a human check if it appears in current/supported version. + * [Madhav] Based on current activity, it’s a really common question on whether it’s reproducible on a current version + * [Bob] What about updating the template with a link to the version docs. + * [Bob] Advanced tags and such don’t typically get used as much outside of a core group. So we’d need to socialize this a lot if we change/implement a solution. + * Answer to both: Yes, create an issue and ask for feedback! + * Note that we would have to apply this *just* to k/k. (And the support request in k/k takes you right to discuss.k). + * [Josh] New tag with “release notes action required” to alert people for changes before upgrading. Release team thought that would also have the release notes tag, but not always. They’ve fixed that, but are there any other tools that use it? + * [Bob] The rel notes website (​​https://relnotes.k8s.io/). But looks fixed. + * We haven’t announced that tag; probably should notify k-dev. +* Open Mic/Discussion + * [Nigel] Event coming up in Austin - Open Source Summit. Do we do stuff with that? + * [Paris] A great CFP is the Zoom to YouTube integration :D + * Really, fill out the CFPs for this kind of thing for the contributor stuff. + * In general, we don’t do anything at that event. + * [Josh] Maintainer submissions due on the 14th.
