A

Laura, are you doing today, not too good here, it's 5 p.m. now. Please welcome us. Thank you for joining us today. My name is Aaron. Barrett came a developer advocate at the cloud native from the baton foundation and please welcome Nikita I'm.

So today we will not make too deep technical talk, as the previous presenters did today. We'll speak about the community about the value that community brings and how can you become the part of this community and how can you bring yo? Well, you and I.

A

Can you bring your value to build in their cloud native ecosystem in this world? So, first of all, you can remember that CN CF has a few dozen open source projects and all of them are developed by people. They are all developed in the open way and in the open source way. All these projects have the solid contributors community and the soul and users community around them and all these projects again they are all built by us by the representatives of the community.

A

So the first thing that here should be wearable, if you are considering becoming a contributor to the cloud native ecosystem, is to check out our contributing contributors guides on that are hosted on github. They are available to everyone and they share the insights. And how can you become a code developer for some of the ciencia projects? How can you start your local meetup group, for example? How can you be more successful in some different errors of the community building and what are other available things that you can do for this code?

A

A typical system, one of the easiest way to get started with the cloud Native community, is to join one of our meetup groups. Today we have more than 100 meter groups around the globe, and 15 of them are here in India and as a big way and important way of being more involved into into the cloud native world and becoming more visible in their cloud native ecosystems to become the CNCs ambassador. Sincere ambassadors are the people who driving the local meetup groups.

A

They write blog posts, they do public speakers public speaking as US, and they are also work ignitable by the local community itself and in India we have eight ambassadors, which is one of the most impressive results, which is one of the most impressive numbers around the globe around the global ambassadors community of ciencia.

A

Another way, how can here get started with becoming a contributor to the cloud native projects? It's more about the technical way, it's more about writing code or doing some. Some other available things is to join us as a person who is new to this community with our mentorship programs, which are funded and driven by ciencia. We have successful record of doing the google Summer of Code programs. During the last year's, we have risen to launch the community bridge program where we have here amazing mentees from India as well.

A

We have the outreach where we are supporting the outreach program where we have, where is the Rose meant, is around the globe as well, and more than 50 mentees of all these projects are of Indian origin. So if you looking for something like this and if you haven't started doing becoming a mentee here, so it's your chance now now I'd like to pass the ball to Nikita.

A

Nikita is also one of our successful examples of how a person could be a guru, Son of God mentee a few years ago now, Nikita also helped CN CF, who is the mentorship programs, as well as the google Summer of Code and community bridge administrator? So please welcome Nikita and she'll, share your insights and becoming the contributor to communities itself.

B

So, let's dive into the kubernetes community, I'm going to do a very shameless plug here. I gave a lengthier version of the stock in the previous last year's kubernetes raise India. So if this is something you're interested in also go watch that talk so the upstream communities project is divided into multiple groups.

B

The most common one that you might have heard in this whole conference is special interest groups or six six other groups which own code and- and you might have heard of cigs like saccade, six CLI or six testing, which focus on certain aspects of the project. There are also groups called working groups which are temporary groups for crossing efforts. There are user groups which have a focus towards users of kubernetes, and there are committees which deal with sensitive items in the project.

B

So, as you can see, we have a ton of these groups and you can join and participate in the ones that you're interested in all of these groups have mailing lists and slack channels where you can join interact and ask questions to maintain us, and all of these groups also have public meetings which are published on YouTube. So, even if you are not able to attend, then you can view those, and all meetings also have meeting notes if you're not a fan of watching lengthy video recordings.

B

This is something that Tim's mentioned in his talk. I just want to reiterate on this. We have three India specific slack channels in the kubernetes slack, a lot of folks I, think like 500 or 400 plus folks, are there on the in-depth channel already. But if you're not already on this channel, please join it and if you are already on this channel, say hi drop a line or two about who you are what you work on and what you would like to work on in the community. The in users channel is for users of kubernetes.

B

The in events channel is for events happening in India, just like this one or any meetups are happening across the world. The in events channel is also used for selecting soliciting speakers and cfp. So this is a good Avenue to figure out where you can give a talk as well. If you're not already on the kubernetes slack, you can join, get an invite for the slack instance at slack dot Cates that IO, so you want to contribute code to the kubernetes project.

B

So the first thing you need to do is understand the code base and the way you can do that is by reading something called as a contributor guide which details conventions that we follow in the community and a developer guide, which has instructions about how you can set up your development developer environment, up to what are the API conventions or how you can change the API, what I release processes and all of that information you can find that at github.com, slash, kubernetes, slash community.

B

We also have tons of code base to our videos on the kubernetes YouTube channel. If that's how you would like to understand things better to find an issue that you want to work on in the kubernetes project, we have two labels good first issue and Help Wanted.

B

Good first issues are for first timers absolute beginners in the project. Help Wanted are issues for folks who have already solved at least one or two good first issues. You can also do issue triage. That is help with looking like 2,000 issues at this point on the kubernetes project. We need a lot of help with this, so you can do issue triage. That is make sure that issues have the right labels. People are paying attention to it. It does not get auto close Clos close by a bot and priorities are set for these issues.

B

We really need help with this, so if this is something that you are interested in, it won't take too much time. Please check it out, but contributions are not just about code. They can be about much more than that.

B

So if you are interested in something like project management, on helping run, contributor, events like contributor summits or being a moderator for YouTube slack- or we also have code of code of conduct, committees and communication and from all of these places that you can contribute to without involving code, we also have dedicated of mentoring programs in the upstream project. The release team, especially, is an excellent example of this I'm. Pretty sure there are folks over here who have been previously on the release team and also on the current release team.

B

The release team has specific rules define and rural handbooks, and each role has a lead and multiple shadows, so you can become a lead. You basically shadows our mentees and leads our mentors and in the next release cycle you can even become the lead.

B

Once you join in the community, this you will eventually grow and grow up the contributor ladder. You will start as a member as a non-member contributor. Initially then you'll become a member of the kubernetes github organization. Then you will become a reviewer and you'll automatically get like get assigned, pull requests by a robot and help you need to help review PRS. Finally, you become an approver and you get to sign off three hours and then an owner who sets priorities and gives technical leadership for a particular sub project.

B

So I hope you all join in and contribute more to the upstream project, definitely showing the in depth channel on slack. Even if you don't know what you want to contribute to, and we can help figure you out how you can get started. You already want to say a few last final words sure.

A

So please join us at the cloud native community we're waiting for you. This is the open community and inclusive to everybody so with Jonas. Thank you. Thank you.
