Kubernetes Community Documentation
Welcome to the Kubernetes community documentation. Here you can learn about what's happening in the community.
Kubernetes uses Slack for community discussions.
Join : Joining is self-service. Go to slack.k8s.io to join.
Access : Once you join, the team can be found at kubernetes.slack.com
Archives : Discussions on most channels are archived at kubernetes.slackarchive.io . Start archiving by inviting the slackarchive bot to a channel via /invite @slackarchive
To add new channels, contact one of the admins. Currently that includes briangrant, goltermann, jbeda, sarahnovotny and thockin.
Many important announcements and discussions end up on the main development group.

The weekly community meeting provides an opportunity for the different SIGs, WGs and other parts of the community to come together. More information about joining the weekly community meeting is available on our [agenda working document] (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VQDIAB0OqiSjIHI8AWMvSdceWhnz56jNpZrLs6o7NJY/edit# )
Special Interest Groups (SIG) and Working Groups
Much of the community activity is organized into a community meeting, numerous SIGs and time bounded WGs. SIGs follow these guidelines although each of these groups may operate a little differently depending on their needs and workflow. Each groups material is in its subdirectory in this project.
The community meeting calendar is available as an [iCal to subscribe to] (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics ) (simply copy and paste the url into any calendar product that supports the iCal format) or [html to view] (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=cgnt364vd8s86hr2phapfjc6uk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles ).
