# Kubernetes Community Documentation

Welcome to the Kubernetes community documentation. Here you can learn about what's happening in the community.

## Slack Chat

Kubernetes uses [Slack](http://slack.com) for community discussions.

**Join**: Joining is self service.  Go to [slack.k8s.io](http://slack.k8s.io) to join.

**Access**: Once you join, the team can be found at [kubernetes.slack.io](http://kubernetes.slack.io)

**Archives**: Discussions on most channels are archived at [kubernetes.slackarchive.io](http://kubernetes.slackarchive.io).  Start archiving by inviting the slackarchive bot to a channel via `/invite @slackarchive`

To add new channels, contact one of the admins. Currently that includes briangrant, goltermann, jbeda, and thockin.

## [Weekly Community Video Conference](community/README.md)

The weekly community meeting provides an opportunity for the different SIGs and other parts of the community to come together.

## Special Interest Groups (SIG)

Much of the community activity is organized into a community meeting and numerous SIGs. Each of those groups operates a little differently which is reflected in how they capture notes, examples, and other information. Each groups material is in its subdirectory in this project.

### Starting a SIG

* Create a group with at least 2 owners: kubernetes-sig-foo@googlegroups.com
  * Put a description of the topic in the welcome message
* Ask a repo maintainer to create a github label, if one doesn't already exist: area/foo
* If you wish, create a new [kubernetes.slack.com](http://kubernetes.slack.com) channel (#sig-foo).  Users can join at [slack.kubernetes.io](http://slack.kubernetes.io).
* Organize video meetings as needed. No need to wait for the [Weekly Community Video Conference](community/README.md) to discuss. Can 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 cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk@group.calendar.google.com.
* Use existing proposal and PR process
* Announce new SIG on kubernetes-dev@googlegroups.com and ask a repo maintainer to add it to this wiki
* Submit a PR to add any SIG-related docs, schedules, roadmaps, etc. to docs/devel/sigs/
* Slack activity is archived at [kubernetes.slackarchive.io](http://kubernetes.slackarchive.io).  To start archiving a new channel invite the slackarchive bot to the channel via `/invite @slackarchive`
