## User groups
Some topics have long term relevance to large groups of Kubernetes users, but
do not have clear deliverables or ownership of parts of the Kubernetes
code base. As such they are neither good fits for SIGs or Working Groups.
Examples of such a topic might be continuous delivery to Kubernetes.
User groups function as a centralized resource to facilitate communication
and discovery of information related to the topic of the user group. User
groups should not undertake to produce any deliverable, instead they should
form working groups under the auspices of some SIG for such work. Likewise
they shouldn't take ownership of anything in the Kubernetes process, as
that is a role for SIGs.
User groups are documented in [sigs.yaml](sigs.yaml)
