Questions:

Questions will be on a first-come, first-served basis. First half will be dedicated to questions for contributors and the second half, we will pick a problem (in advance) for peer code review.

Code snip / PR for peer code review / Suggestion for part of codebase walk through:

  • At least 24 hours before the session to slack channel (#meet-our-contributors)

Problems will be picked based on time commitment needed, skills of the reviewer, and if a large amount are submitted, need for the project.

Call for Volunteers:

Contributors - sign up to answer questions!

Expectations of volunteers:

  • Be on 5 mins early
  • Be prepared to give advice on contribution process, membership, navigating the kubernetes seas, testing, and general questions about you and your path to open source/kubernetes.
  • We will be using video chat (zoom but live streaming through YouTube) but voice only is fine if you are more comfortable with that
  • Be willing to provide suggestions and feedback to make this better!
