Welcome to the Kubernetes community documentation. Here you can learn about what's happening in the community.
Kubernetes uses Slack for community discussions.
Join: Joining is self service. Go to slack.k8s.io to join.
Access: Once you join, the team can be found at kubernetes.slack.io
Archives: Discussions on most channels are archived at 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, sarahnovotny and thockin.
Many important announcements and discussions end up on the main development group.
The weekly community meeting provides an opportunity for the different SIGs and other parts of the community to come together.
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.
The SIG meeting calendar is available as an [iCal to subscribe to] (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics) (simply copy and paste the url into any calendar product that supports the iCal format) or [html to view] (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles).

- Ask a repo maintainer to create a github label, if one doesn't already exist: area/foo
- If you wish, request a new kubernetes.slack.com channel (#sig-foo) from @sarahnovotny. New users can join at slack.kubernetes.io.
