CNCF TAG Contributor Strategy

Contributor Strategy is a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) responsible for contributor experience, sustainability, governance, and openness guidance to help CNCF community groups and projects with their own contributor strategies for a healthy project.

If you are looking for how-to resources produced by the TAG, please visit contribute.cncf.io or have a look at the contributor, goverance, and related templates.

For people new to this space, you can learn more about the purpose, objectives, and responsibilities of CNCF TAGs.

Communicating with Us

Anyone is welcome to join our open discussions of TAG Contributor Strategy projects and share news related to the group's mission and charter. Much of the work of the group happens outside of TAG Contributor Strategy meetings and we encourage project teams to share progress updates or post questions in these channels:

• Mailing list

  • The mailing list is used for decisions, announcements, and broad communications on record for the entire TAG.

• #tag-contributor-strategy on CNCF Slack

  • Real time communication is great! Chat with us here but we might ask you to open an issue or remind us on the mailing list so we can have a record.

• File an Issue

  • Working on a project? Have an idea for something we/you should work on? Talk about a change you'd like to propose?

• Attend our meetings

  • We meet once a month, and we'd love to have you join us!

Working Groups And Teams

This approach allows for a more streamlined and organized approach to managing complex projects within the CNCF ecosystem.
