Greetings newcomers!

We've decided to hold our first sig-cluster-lifecycle new contributor session. The goal of the meeting will be to outline several of the sub-projects of the SIG and where they fit in the stack.

We will also outline the scope of the tools and some core first principals that the SIG adheres to. From there we will discuss how we operate and how you can engage and help contribute.

All skill levels welcome! You can find more about SIG Cluster Lifecycle here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-cluster-lifecycle

Please see this link for more information: https://github.com/liggitt/gomodules/blob/master/README.md

Thank you Jordan Liggitt for the fantastic overview!

First ever New Contributor Workshop!

Speakers Josh Berkus and Guinevere Saenger walks us through how to contribute to the Kubernetes project.

You’ll learn everything from CLA signing, what a SIG is, the difference between a Working Group and a Subproject, where to ask questions, how to get involved with the community and give you an understanding of the different Kubernetes GitHub repositories.

Want to view more sessions and keep the conversations going? Join us for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Seattle, December 11 - 13, 2018 (http://bit.ly/KCCNCNA18) or in Shanghai, November 14-15 (http://bit.ly/kccncchina18)

Growing in Your Contributor Role – Insights From a k8s Newcomer Working Within the Release Process - Tim Pepper, VMware (Beginner Skill Level)

New open source contributors often struggle to orient to a project’s processes and cadence, and kubernetes is no different in this regard. Approaching such a large and dynamic project can be daunting. While a relative newcomer to the kubernetes project, the speaker has twenty plus years of open source developer experience from which to draw on within the 1.10 release team as bug triage shadow and for 1.11 as the bug triage lead. Embedded service to the community within the release team, especially in a cross-SIG bug-focused role, provides a unique opportunity for contributor insights. This is not a 1.10 release retrospective (see pres. by Jaice Singer DuMars & Ihor Dvoretskyi), but the talk will walk through the release process, its phases, how the process is evolving through time and will use 1.10 specific examples to highlight areas ripe for new contributors to engage and grow.

Tim is a software engineer with over 20 years open source development experience. He is currently a member of VMware's Open Source Technology Center acting as an open source developer advocate and contributing to upstream projects such as kubernetes. In his past he's worked on the linux kernel, device drivers, distributions, software update, Android, OpenStack, and an open source golang based orchestrator for multi-tenant containers and VMs that wasn't kubernetes.
