What areas and/or subprojects does your group need the most help with? Any areas with 2 or fewer OWNERs? (link to more details)
- Optimizing kubectl memory usage.
- Kustomize only has two owners: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/OWNERS_ALIASES#L4-L6
- Our docs, which are joint for Kustomize and Kubectl, need some love. They are built off cli-experimental, are outdated and need SEO improvements. The sites aren't in the first several pages of Google results for "kustomize docs" / "kubectl docs". The donated kustomize.io and kubectl.io sites/domains need to be integrated as well.
-
What metrics/community health stats does your group care about and/or measure?
- Open untriaged issues and PRs.
- New reviewers and approvers added.
- Last year we added 1 reviewer and 1 approver.
-
Does your CONTRIBUTING.md help new contributors engage with your group specifically by pointing to activities or programs that provide useful context or allow easy participation?
- No this document is out of date and difficult to maintain. We need to update it and model it after some other groups.
-
If your group has special training, requirements for reviewers/approvers, or processes beyond the general contributor guide, does your CONTRIBUTING.md document those to help existing contributors grow throughout the contributor ladder?
- We recently did a reviewer mentorship cohort. Unclear if we would do another. The group consisted mostly of students not very experienced with Golang.
-
Does the group have contributors from multiple companies/affiliations?
- The leads all represent different companies.
- Contributors from 28 companies, 9 of which had 10+ contributions.
- Data.
-
Are there ways end users/companies can contribute that they currently are not? If one of those ways is more full time support, what would they work on and why?
- Kustomize is in need of new maintainers. Ideally folks that depend on it daily and able to jump right in.
- kubectl is a large tool and we need new folks to stick around and learn its different pieces.
- Primary slack channel member count: 2361
- Primary mailing list member count: 425
- Primary meeting attendee count (estimated, if needed): 10+
- Primary meeting participant count (estimated, if needed): 6
