I have been looking at some of the great things the Kubernetes community has
been doing for ideas we can borrow, and one idea which really sticks out is:
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
    <https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/governance.md#sigs>

A full list of the Kubernetes community SIGs can be found here:
    <https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-list.md>

I think we already have some groups, which are almost informal SIGs, such as
Security, GSoC, Infra, etc. The aspects of SIGs which I really would like to
formalize, and support from a community infra standpoint are:

    * Clear problem domain/focus area.
    * Regularly scheduled and published meetings. I can easily imagine re-using
      #jenkins-meeting or our public YouTube channel for regularly scheduling
      and hosting weekly meetings for these various groups. I run a weekly
      infra team sync on jenkins.io/hangout for example, but that's not
      recorded anywhere :(
    * "Chairs" (i.e. team leads)
    * Dedicated discussion channel/group (i.e. mailing list)


Some SIGs which I would love to see for starters, would be:

 * Security, lead by Daniel
 * GSoC, lead by Oleg
 * Infra, lead by Olivier and myself
 * Cloud Native (Kubernetes, Jenkins X, CLOUD, etc), lead by Carlos
 * Essentials, lead by myself
 * LTS, lead by Oliver
 * Automation/Configuration (config as code, puppet, chef, etc), lead by Ewelina


>From my part on the infrastructure side, I'm more than willing to do the
necessary work to support SIGs, as I really feel like they will help bring more
folks to the table for focused contribution to the Jenkins project.


I'm curious how others feel about a SIG structure and whether you all agree
that it will help channel/focus discussions and contributions?



If there's strong interest, I'm happy to take point on writing a Process JEP.
