## Community Expectations
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes is a community project. Consequently, it is wholly dependent on
|
|
its community to provide a productive, friendly and collaborative environment.
|
|
|
|
The first and foremost goal of the Kubernetes community to develop orchestration
|
|
technology that radically simplifies the process of creating reliable
|
|
distributed systems. However a second, equally important goal is the creation
|
|
of a community that fosters easy, agile development of such orchestration
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
We therefore describe the expectations for
|
|
members of the Kubernetes community. This document is intended to be a living one
|
|
that evolves as the community evolves via the same PR and code review process
|
|
that shapes the rest of the project. It currently covers the expectations
|
|
of conduct that govern all members of the community as well as the expectations
|
|
around code review that govern all active contributors to Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
### Code of Conduct
|
|
|
|
The most important expectation of the Kubernetes community is that all members
|
|
abide by the Kubernetes [community code of conduct](../../code-of-conduct.md).
|
|
Only by respecting each other can we develop a productive, collaborative
|
|
community.
|
|
|
|
### Code review
|
|
|
|
As a community we believe in the [value of code review for all contributions](collab.md).
|
|
Code review increases both the quality and readability of our codebase, which
|
|
in turn produces high quality software.
|
|
|
|
However, the code review process can also introduce latency for contributors
|
|
and additional work for reviewers that can frustrate both parties.
|
|
|
|
Consequently, as a community we expect that all active participants in the
|
|
community will also be active reviewers.
|
|
|
|
We ask that active contributors to the project participate in the code review process
|
|
in areas where that contributor has expertise. Active
|
|
contributors are considered to be anyone who meets any of the following criteria:
|
|
* Sent more than two pull requests (PRs) in the previous one month, or more
|
|
than 20 PRs in the previous year.
|
|
* Filed more than three issues in the previous month, or more than 30 issues in
|
|
the previous 12 months.
|
|
* Commented on more than pull requests in the previous month, or
|
|
more than 50 pull requests in the previous 12 months.
|
|
* Marked any PR as LGTM in the previous month.
|
|
* Have *collaborator* permissions in the Kubernetes github project.
|
|
|
|
In addition to these community expectations, any community member who wants to
|
|
be an active reviewer can also add their name to an *active reviewer* file
|
|
(location tbd) which will make them an active reviewer for as long as they
|
|
are included in the file.
|
|
|
|
#### Expectations of reviewers: Review comments
|
|
|
|
Because reviewers are often the first points of contact between new members of
|
|
the community and can significantly impact the first impression of the
|
|
Kubernetes community, reviewers are especially important in shaping the
|
|
Kubernetes community. Reviewers are highly encouraged to review the
|
|
[code of conduct](../../code-of-conduct.md) and are strongly encouraged to go above
|
|
and beyond the code of conduct to promote a collaborative, respectful
|
|
Kubernetes community.
|
|
|
|
#### Expectations of reviewers: Review latency
|
|
|
|
Reviewers are expected to respond in a timely fashion to PRs that are assigned
|
|
to them. Reviewers are expected to respond to an *active* PRs with reasonable
|
|
latency, and if reviewers fail to respond, those PRs may be assigned to other
|
|
reviewers.
|
|
|
|
*Active* PRs are considered those which have a proper CLA (`cla:yes`) label
|
|
and do not need rebase to be merged. PRs that do not have a proper CLA, or
|
|
require a rebase are not considered active PRs.
|
|
|
|
## Thanks
|
|
|
|
Many thanks in advance to everyone who contributes their time and effort to
|
|
making Kubernetes both a successful system as well as a successful community.
|
|
The strength of our software shines in the strengths of each individual
|
|
community member. Thanks!
