### Session Notes
#### SIG GOVERNANCE AND SIG CHECK IN
- Discussed cross cutting SIG concerns and how to accomplish
- Create certificate for SIGs
- SIG Leads office hours
- SIG Leads mailing list \~ open vs. closed -- read-only
- Private comms will happen in committees
#### IDENTIFYING AREAS THAT ARE FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS
Focused a lot on other contributions that are getting lost:
- want to help other people and companies take part in non-coding
activities
- How do we call out other contributions
- Incentives for other contributions
- SIGs need to harness the value in Kubernetes
- SIGs might have different roles, i.e. docs, etc.
- Identify and fill roles
- No unfunded mandates, calling out companies that contribute
- Recognize companies that contribute maintenance
- Credits for the release
- Incentivise individuals as well
- Need to be cognizant of company marketing around Kubernetes
- By recognizing roles, you can provide continuity and pride, e.g.
k8sbot
- Conformance working group
- We need to defend the trademark or lose it
- We need to identify repositories that use the kubernetes- taxonomy
- Develop a better way to assess contributions, leaderboard issue (see
action item)
#### CODE ORGANIZATION + IMPROVING THE RELEASE PROCESS
- Brian's presentation on why we wanted to break out the repos
- Accepting limitations in GitHub
- Service catalog is already doing this
- Near term direction untangling dependencies
- How are we executing with kubectl
- Integration and testing across different repos is hard
- SIGs involved are API Machinery, CLI and Cluster Lifecycle
- Need a working group to sort out the approach
#### BUILDING COMMUNITY EFFECTIVENESS
- Talked about how to get more engagement in meetings
- introductions
- pair mentors
- find out what people want to do
- don't put mission critical work on new contribs
- watch time zones
- keep SIG meeting as status, focus on 1:1 for work
- off-weeks for office hours
- User on-boarding SIG
- education
- 1:1s
- welcome wagon
- Cluster Ops working on this for operators
#### What went well?
- Breakouts
- Networking time
- Face to face talking
- More content - more breaks
- Continued note taking and making things available. Templates are
really helpful
- 3 SIGs had a cross SIG collaboration
- Morning single track
#### What would you do differently?
- bad timing with code freeze
- Record sessions so there's a better record
- Red Hat was under-represented, so we should consider East
- Not a lot of decisions were made, how do we do things instead of
just talking about it?
- "Stability is important" but there's not an action item
- Lack of specific focus
- More engagement with the agenda ahead of time
#### Risks
- Too little governance
- Conformance from the CNCF
- Stability is not getting worked on
- How do you balance convergence vs. divergence
- We are not getting true customer voice - what user experience is -
get feedback from product.
- We need to make it easier for people who wants to find out what
Kubernetes is about
### Conclusions
#### Key Takeaways / Analysis of Situation
#### Recommendations & Decisions Moving Forward (High-Level)

Regular community check-ins Brian Grant
Describe the end state and then assign breakout work to SIGs. Working group needs to be organized Brian Grant
