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.
Cheers
