Knative working group

Most community activity is organized into working groups.

Working groups follow the contributing guidelines although each of these groups may operate a little differently depending on their needs and workflow.

When the need arises, a new working group can be created. See the working group processes for working group proposal and creation procedures.

The working groups generate design docs which are kept in a shared drive and are available for anyone to read and comment on. The shared drive currently grants read access to knative-users@ and edit and comment access to the knative-dev@ Google group.

Some working groups (mostly those with a plug-in or extension model) end up responsible for a set of GitHub repos, one for each extension. This allows for easier dependency management; in these cases, one or more repo prefix names will be recorded as canonical “extension names” to allow WGs to be responsible for their own namespace without needing to get TOC approval for each repo name.

Additionally, all working groups should hold regular meetings, which should be added to the shared knative calendar WG leads should have access to be able to create and update events on this calendar, and should invite knative-dev@googlegroups.com to working group meetings.

Calendar import

If you’re using Google Calendar, the above should work. If you’re using some other system (Apple Calendar or Outlook, for example), here is an iCal export of the community calendar.
