CNCF SIG Contributor Strategy Contributor Growth WG 2021-02-02
A
Oh,
no,
since
friday
yeah,
that's
why
I'm
dressed
like
a
lumberjack
today,
I'm
just
trying
to
because
that's
a
long
headache.
You
know.
C
B
C
A
Agenda
yeah,
so
regarding
the
framework,
it's
still
with
scott,
so
I
don't
have
any
updates
on
that
sense,
so
I
don't
know
hopefully
he'll
join.
I
know
he
was
going
to
interview
a
few
people
so
once
that
is
done,
we'll
help.
Hopefully.
C
This
feels
like
quorum.
Doesn't
it
we
can
start?
I
hate
starting
meeting
late,
it's
just
the
worst
for
me.
C
So
I
don't
know
if
anyone
wanted
to
add
anything
else
to
the
agenda
here.
Otherwise,
I'm
happy
to
just
stroll
on
through
and
we
can
see
how
things
are
looking
hey,
josh.
C
I
just
realized
this
was
recorded,
so
everyone
in
the
world
got
to
hear
about
my
migraine.
Today,
that's
cool!
I
really
gotta
pay
attention
to
that.
So
how
about
we
start
with
the
content
updates?
First,
actually,
and
because
I
think
we
may
talk
about
the
the
cubecon
talk
a
little
bit
more
than
anything
else.
C
C
How
is
the
ladder?
Looking,
I
think,
josh
you
were
gonna,
submit
some
edits.
D
Yeah
I've
been
well,
we
wanted
to
make
so
many
changes
that
we
actually
moved
it
over
to
hackmd
hold
on.
I'm
I'm
linking
that
into
the
notes.
I've
been
actually
going
through
that
and
sort
of
overhauling
a
bunch
of
stuff.
But
anyone
wait.
Sorry.
I've
lost
the
tab
where
the
notes
are
no.
D
D
Here
we
go
there,
we
go,
oh
got
it.
Okay,
so
anybody
else
is
more
than
welcome.
Is
is
eagerly
desired
to
to
also
bash
away
at
it.
D
Yeah
the
you
know,
because
we're
in
a
circumstance
where
lots
of
projects
have
contributor
ladders,
but
they're
all
highly
particular
to
those
projects,
as
I've
noticed
from
people
trying
to
copy
the
kubernetes
one
and
be
saying
well,
that's
completely
inappropriate
to
your
project
because
you
don't
have
a
steering
committee,
but
okay,
the
and
you
know
karen,
took
this
first
stab
at
making
a
generic
version
and
I'm
trying
to
expand
it
to
add
extra
options,
because
I
identified
seven
potential
levels
in
the
contributor
ladder
of
which
nobody
will
use
all
seven
but
which,
which,
like
three
or
four
out
of
the
seven
they
use,
is
going
to
vary
by
project.
C
C
C
D
D
The
yeah.
D
This
yeah,
so
you
know-
and
you
know,
sort
of
look
through
that
the
you
know
and
and
add
your
your
own
stuff
to
it.
One
of
the
other
things
so
like
I,
like
the
bullet
point
thing
that
karen
did
and
I'm
expanding
on
that
format.
C
B
Well,
I
mean,
I
think,
as
long
as
because
the
idea
is
like
you
know
like
we
would
pro
we
provide
like
the
description
part
at
the
beginning
right
and
then
like
the
bullet
points,
even
though
there
are
a
lot,
it's
also
just
like
choose
and
pick
what
works
for
you
right.
I
guess
I
like
I
get
that
having
a
narrative
feels
more
active
and
better,
but
also
like
is
that
the
like,
you
know,
considering
we're
making
a
template.
C
C
C
C
So
I
don't
know,
do
we
want
to
look
at
it
or
do
we
want
to
say
people
should
go?
Look
at
it
later
feel
free
to
contribute.
B
There
is
one
section
that
I
kind
of
want
to
revisit,
just
because
I
don't
remember
what
we
decided
on
last
time,
but
also
like
just
to
rehash
some
details.
So,
oh
cool
okay!
So
don't
look
at
the
like
table
of
contents
thing
in
the
above
section,
because
it's
totally
out
of
right
now,
oh
yeah,
that
works
okay,
cool
yeah,
so
one
of
the
there
are
a
few
things
that
josh
added
in
right.
Like
organization
member.
B
We
didn't
necessarily
have
that
before,
but
another
section
that
we
kind
of
veered
a
little
bit
away
from
what
we
were
doing
before
is
the
sub
project
lead,
and
that
was
partly
due
to
how
kubernetes
is
set
up.
So
I
kind
of
want
to
just
touch
on
this
again,
because
I
think
originally,
the
section
that
we
had
here
was
carolyn.
You
and
I
talked
about
this.
B
It
was
like,
I
think
it
was
just
project
lead
right,
like
this
person
who's,
like
kind
of
like
the
liaison
with
cncf
and
like
the
like
representative.
B
So
I
think
we
may
have
maybe
renamed
this
section,
but
I
just
want
to
see
if
we
want
to
still
include
that
element
or
if
this
gets
tucked
under
that
or
yeah.
D
D
As
well
spokesman
yeah,
the
yeah
cause
like
a
sub-project
lead
would
be
like
if
I'm
in
cni,
you
know
they
have
like
leads
for
each
one
of
the
drivers,
which
is
a
particular
contributor
role,
as
opposed
to
I
mean
what
I
was
saying
before.
Is
I
really
feel
like
anything
that
involves
interacting
with
the
cncf?
Is
a
governance
role?
If
you
follow
me,
oh.
B
D
C
B
Okay,
so
then,
maybe
like,
we
create
that
connection
like
in
the
scenarios
where
they're
the
same
person
in
the
description
right
that
like
well,
okay,
wait
so
then,
based
on
this,
like
are
you
saying
that,
like
the
sub
project,
lead
would
be
the
highest
point
in
the
latter
then,
or
is
there.
B
D
We
have,
we
have
a
maintainer
above
it,
which
you
know
may
or
may
not
be
the
same
thing
as
approver,
depending
on
how
the
project
runs.
Okay,
so.
D
C
I
have
two
questions:
how
common
is
it
outside
of
kubernetes,
because
kubernetes
is
the
unicorn
to
have
sub
projects.
D
D
So
it's
a
thing
and
cni
and
csi
both
have
sort
of
discrete
sub-project
components.
Network
plumbing
group
does
so,
I
wouldn't
say
it's
the
most
common
structure,
but
it's
also
one
that
recurs
regularly.
Okay,.
B
B
Sure
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
move
it
above
if
we
move
it
under.
I
guess
approver
right
assuming
that,
like
that's
the
direction
because
then
we'll
go
to
sub
project,
we'll
go
from
sub
project
lead
to
maintainer
and
then
under
maintainer.
We
have
like
the
subcategories
of
like
community
maintainer
project,
maintainer
release
manager
and
docksman.
D
B
D
D
I
that
would
also
work
the
so
I
mean
kubernetes
is
weird
because
it's
one
of
those
where
effectively
there
are
only
sub-project
leads.
There
are
no
general
maintainers
of
kubernetes.
If
you
follow
me
in
in
terms
of
a
formally
defined
contributor
ladder
role,
there
are
people
who
actually
do
have
owner
status
in
kk
root,
but
believe
it
or
not,
that's
not
formally
defined.
D
It
should
be.
The
somebody
needs
to
write
criteria
for
it,
be
there
at
the
beginning.
Honestly,
most
of
those
people
know
these
days.
Most
of
those
people
who
are
the
owners
are
like
release
engineering
people,
people
who
functionally
need
that
level
of
permissions
in
order
to
like
say,
produce
releases
rather
than
people
who
have
this
sort
of
path.
The.
C
I
have
one
more
question.
You
had
said
that,
and
I
and
maybe
I
misunderstood
it-
sounded
like
you
said
that
any
role
that
aligns
with
a
position
in
governance
should
not
be
in
the
latter.
Am
I
saying
that
right,
or
am
I
saying.
D
D
D
C
So
I
understand
that
they're
in
different
documents,
and
they
kind
of
line
up
in
you
know
under
contributor
versus
governance.
But
if
I'm
thinking
as
myself
as
a
person-
and
I
want
to
gain
additional
responsibility
and
influence
over
a
project,
it
feels
very
natural
to
to
move
from
a
user
to
a
contributor
to
an
approver
to
a
maintainer
to
going
I'd
like
to
be
a
chair
or
something
along
that
line,
and
I
would
I
would
have
looked
for
that
in
the
ladder
with
the
idea
that
this
is.
D
Example,
chair
and
you
know,
must
be
elected.
According
to
the
procedure
link
yeah,
I
mean
what
I
would
want
to
avoid
doing
in
our
templates
is
actually
having
text
that
potentially
duplicates
between
different
templates
that
are
not
alternatives
to
each
other,
because
I
know
what's
going
to
happen,
is
projects
are
going
to
copy
both
templates
and
not
reconcile
them?
Yeah.
C
Okay,
I'd
be
happy
to
help.
I
would
have
time
tomorrow,
to
maybe
add
some
more
comments
and
maybe
put
in
something
after
some
project
leave
that
just
links
to
even
if
they're,
just
placeholders,
like
governance
roles
and
just
a
little
blurb
about
what
what
it
looks
like
to
move
into
some
type
of
governing
responsibility
in
the
project.
D
Yeah:
okay:
there
we
go
so
how
do
we
end
up
with
subproject
lead
twice,
so
just
fix
that
yeah?
That
would
be
good
and,
like
I
said,
the
confusing
thing
about
making
this
as
a
template
is
that
we
have
this
experience
right
where
everybody's
contributed
ladder
is
going
to
have
three
to
five
runs,
but
we,
but
what
those
three
to
five
rungs
are,
is
going
to
be
different
for
each
project
and
we
have
to
provide
examples
of
the
seven
or
eight
different
rungs
that
they
potentially
could
have.
C
C
So
but
I'll
be
done
with
the
day
after
this
meeting.
C
So
there's
nothing
else
about
the
latter.
I
mean
we
all
want
to
work
on
it,
but
is
there
anything
else
we
wanted
to
discuss
as
a
group
or
can
I
move
on.
C
Okay,
the
contribute
website.
I
worked
with
your
ihor
and
I
have
two
pr's
all
set
up
and
ready
to
roll
one
is
to
sig
contributor
strategy
and
then
the
other
is
to.
I
think
I
linked
to
the
apr
here.
C
The
other
is
in
the
existing
repo
cncf
contribute,
and
this
is
kind
of
you
can
see
what
the
pr
experience
looks
like.
So
the
main
website
is
in
our
repo
at
the
moment.
That's
how
it's
defined
and
then
additional
content
comes
from
the
cncf
contribute
repository
and
you'll
still
get
netlify
previews.
So
if
you
click
on
it,
you'll
still
see
like
what
your
change
will
look
like
in
the
full
site.
C
C
I
just
need
reviews
should
be
game
one
on
this
one
pretty
soon,
but
if
anyone
has
time
to
review
this,
one
I'll
link
them
in
the
notes,
that'd
be
great
because
they
kind
of
need
to
be
merged
at
the
same
time,
and
then
we
should
make
the
cycle
live,
which
is
terrifying.
C
I
know
I
was.
I
was
spending
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
make
sure
that,
for
example,
you
could
edit
github
pages
directly
through
github.
You
know
like
markdown
and
not
have
to
have
hugo
installed,
and
you
know
all
sorts
of
stuff.
I
was
trying
to
make
it
so
that
this
would
not
degrade
the
experience
of
contributing
content
to
the
website.
I
want
to
make
sure
it
was
still
as
easy
as
just
contributing
to
a
markdown
page
in
github,
so
it
took
a
little
bit
to
get
it
where
I
wouldn't
be
apologizing.
C
A
D
I
I
mentioned
it
in
the
toc
call
this
morning,
so
the
one
thing
that's
going
to
become
a
source
of
one
thing
that
we
need
to
straighten
out
and
I
need
to
actually
email
the
toc
about
this
is
that
we
don't
currently
we're
down
to
one
toc
liaison
and
the
way
we
set
up
approval
for
things
going
into
the
contributor
site
was
that
we
have
to
have
both
of
our
liaisons.
Take
a
look
at
them,
so
we
need
to
actually
what
is
a
toc
liaison.
D
Oh
okay,
which
would
be
a
huge
delay
if,
if
that
was
a
requirement,
yes,
but
since
the
toc
just
changed
membership
annually,
matt
klein
is
no
longer
on
the
toc,
which
means
that
we
need
to
find
a
replacement
for
him.
D
Yeah,
pretty
much
now
to
I
have
to
post
it
to
the
toc
and
ask
the
I'm
willing
to
bet
that
catherine
would
be
interested,
but
I
need
to
actually
bug
her
about
it.
Different
catherine
yeah.
D
Moment
no,
okay
at
the
moment.
No,
the
the
I
just
actually
well,
here's
a
question:
do
you
know
how
much
stuff
matt
klein
signed
off
on
if
anything.
D
D
We'll
see
ping
me
before
we
do
final
publication,
of
course,
yeah,
and
just
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
actually
need
approval
that
we
didn't
get
yet.
C
D
Yeah
we
need,
to
tell
I
mean,
obviously
it's
the
linux
foundation.
Tech
staff
will
actually
do
it,
but
we
need
to
tell
them
that
we
have
the
tocs
approval.
Okay,
so
who
is
our
other
person
who
who's.
D
Saddly
and
and
he's
still
there.
C
Okay,
well,
maybe
I'll
show
him
the
site
now,
because
I
don't
think
he's
seen
it
unless.
D
C
They
were
on
the
original
issue
and
the
toc
issue
list
when
I
posted
it
just
so,
we
can
get
people
looking
at
it
sooner
rather
than
right.
At
the
end,
when
we
want
to
flip
tns.
D
And
walk
through
it,
yeah
yeah.
Okay,
exactly
so
I
will
email
out
the
toc
and
try
to
get
our
second
person
so
that
we
can
get
that
moving
as
soon
as
possible.
C
C
Like
an
area
of
contributor
growth,
I
thought
we
could
chat
about
what
we
would
like
that
to
be
what
it
should
look
like
what
kind
of
content
I
know
both
paris
and
april
1,
help
with
this
and
they're
not
here,
but
I
still
would
love
to
have
everyone's
opinion
and
do
we
have
a
date
for
when
we
have
to
submit
this.
B
Assuming
this
is
like
the
maintainer
talks,
I
think
the
deadline
is
sunday.
Did
you
say
sunday
yeah,
I
that's
the
one.
That's
the
deadline.
Ice
off
like.
C
D
C
C
Were
there
any
particular
topics
that
you
think
people
would
be
most
interested
in?
I
think.
C
C
How
to
encourage
new
contributors
like,
for
example,
the
onboarding
framework
that
charles
had
suggested,
which
is
wildly
successful,.
C
I
think,
just
in
general,
how
you
interact
with
new
contributors,
which
could
cover
you
know
chatting
with
them,
encouraging
them
doing
an
actual
review.
D
C
Based
off
of
my
terrible
memories
of
how
the
last
one
went,
I
I
would
hate
to
alligate
too
much
time
for
q
a
sure,
especially
since
I
think
a
lot
of
it
may
come
after
the
talk
is
over
via
text.
A
B
Are
you
gonna
cover?
I
guess
like
the
resources,
slash
templates
that
are
available.
C
C
B
C
C
This
is
why
I
like
the
new
contributor
tutorial,
because
it's
it's
a
hundred
percent
focused
on
successfully
bringing
people
into
the
pipeline
and
making
them
basically
successful
contributors
that
parents
tease
up
that.
First
pr
I
mean.
D
We
will
either
have
a
finished
draft
or
an
approved
version
of
the
contributor
ladder
by
kubecon,
okay,
but
then
you
know
for
a
session
focusing
on
contributor
recruitment.
The
only
real
advice
is
have
a
contributor
ladder.
Well,
you
don't
need
to
go
into
detail
about.
What's
in
it,
they
just
need
to
have
one
that
shows
potential
new
contributors
that
they
can.
C
C
Probably
what
day
is
it
today?
Today's
tuesday
I'll
try
to
have
it
by
the
end
of
the
day
tomorrow,
so
that
we
can
all
look
at
it
and
poke
it
and
knit
it
to
death
that
sound.
C
D
Okay,
I
think
if
we
tried
to
completely
change
the
contents
of
it
that
might
trigger
some
kind
of
a
re-review
and
and
no
they
don't
automatically
get
accepted
okay,
but
that
said,
I
would
say,
the
chances
of
acceptance
of
any
particular
session
is
like
70
percent
yeah.
C
D
C
Exactly
yeah,
okay,
I
mean,
I
think
this
is
enough
to
fill
30
minutes
just
fine.
Does
anyone
see
any
gaps
with
what
we'd
want
to
cover?
Maybe
advice
just
for
a
new
contributor.
C
B
That
was
kind
of
my
question
earlier,
like
who's
the
audience
for
this,
because,
like
I
feel
like
when
you're
like
talking
about
like
my
initial
take,
was
that
this
was
like
people
who
have
a
project
and
they're
trying
to
grow
like
the
number
of
contributors.
They
have
right,
but
then,
like
then,
like
the
thing
you
just
said
sounds
like
it
would
just
be
for
someone
who's
a
new
contributor,
not.
C
Actually,
a
lot
of
contributing
guides
and
type
of
support
you
give
to
new
contributors
involves
the
stuff.
I
just
said,
and
it's
helpful
to
think
about
one:
is
your
project
willing
to
do
that?
Two?
Do
you
duplicate
that
duplicate
that
type
of
information
in
your
documentation?
C
Do
you
offer
to
help
with
that?
If
not,
do
you
send
people
elsewhere?
What
do
you
do
when
the
people
who
are
interested
in
contributing
to
your
project
are
going
to
need
mentoring,
essentially.
B
Then
can
I
suggest
that
we
write
like
this
is
for,
like
you
know,
I
guess
like
maintainers
and
contributors
both
so
that,
like
someone
reading,
the
off
shock
would
be
like?
Oh
like
I
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
in
this
bucket
for
this
to
apply
to
me.
I
think
the
audience
should.
C
Be
just
maintainers.
I
was
just
saying
that
this
is
stuff
that
a
maintainer
will
need
to
think
about.
Okay,
okay,
it's
going.
It
has
come
up
with
every
single
project.
I've
been
on
whether
you
intended
to
mentor
people
new
to
open
source
or
not
they're,
going
to
come
to
your
project.
And
how
do
you
support
them
or
not?
C
C
C
Oh,
I
guess
that's
the
other
thing
is
this:
I'm
gonna
I'll
reach
out
to
april
and
paris
and
see
if
they
wanted
to
co-present
or
if
anyone
else
was
interested
in
co-presenting.
The
talk.
D
Yeah,
I
don't
think
I'm
actually
doing
any
other
talks,
yeah
yeah,
so
so
I
can
definitely
be
in
for
this.
C
Because,
to
be
honest,
doing
it
all
by
myself
would
would
feel
like
a
lot
with
everything
that's
going
on
right
now.
I
I
don't
want
to
sign
up
for
that.
Yeah.
Okay,
sorry,
I'm
weak.
D
By
the
way,
at
this
point,
we
don't
know
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
have
to
pre-record
or
whether
we're
going
to
be
allowed
to
do
it
live.
Okay.
The
information
about
the
new
kubecon
platform
is
very
scarce.
D
Do
we
know
what
the
platform
is?
I've
been
given
a
name,
it's
not
anything
I'm
familiar
with,
on
top
of
which
I
kind
of
get
the
impression
that
there's
some
major
technical
issue
with
the
platform
that
they're
waiting
to
see
if
that
issue
gets
resolved
before
they
commit
to
it,
so
so
so
effectively
no
effectively.
We
don't
actually
know
what
it
is.
The.
D
C
I've,
yes
been,
so
I
don't
know
dear
in
the
headlights
before
during
the
time.
D
C
D
Presenting
on-
and
you
know
just
but
under
those
circumstances
I
literally
walked
down
into
the
center
of
the
aisle
in
the
conference
room
and
just
started
doing
a
voice-only
presentation,
because
at
least
you
can
still
do
that.
C
D
D
C
It'll
be
better,
it
won't
be
like
that.
We're
battle-hardened.
C
C
We
got
a
foot
and
a
half
of
snow,
which
is
fun.
I
have
like
great
pictures
of
like
things
in
my
yard,
being
swallowed
up
and
they're
gone
now,
it's
not
too
cold
or
anything.
It's
fine.
