Sig-release: Assemble Kubernetes 1.14 Release Team

[justaugustus]

This is the official issue for assembling the Kubernetes 1.14 Release Team.

Please review the Release Team Selection docs for details on the process and criteria.

We are currently in discussions around improving / refining the selection process (https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/issues/368, https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/issues/369), but would like to open this issue to get the ball rolling.

Have listened to the speech for your team during KubeCon Shanghai. I am so interested to be part in the patch release team. Currently I'm on the chinese i18n translation team, doc team would work for me as well. Also, the ReadMe.md for doc team is missing @justaugustus.

[AishSundar]

@jiaj12 here's the Docs role handbook - https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/release-team/role-handbooks/documentation-guides/update-release-docs-new.md

[ameukam]

Thank you @idealhack for bring this to my attention!
I just got back from KubeCon China and I am very interested in volunteering as a shadow. I have a preference for CI Signal or Branch Manager (if possible).

[jiaj12]

@AishSundar Thank you

[hoegaarden]

I am super happy to fulfil the role for the release branch management lead, if everybody is happy with this being done from EMEA timezones.
Thanks @dougm for the nomination!

[imkin]

I had like to continue the test-infra shadow. :-)

[justaugustus]

First set of leads have been added in this PR: https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/pull/377
Once we place the leads, I'll move on to adding the shadows.

Thank you soooooooo much to everyone who has volunteered thus far. Let's keep the volunteers coming! :)

I would like to shadow for Test Infra team. Thanks.

[kbarnard10]

I'd like to nominate Natasha Woods (nwoods) for Communications Lead! I would also be happy to shadow and help out.

[nwoods]

@kbarnard10 Wrong nwoods :-)

[amwat]

Having shadowed for 1.12 and 1.13, I'd be willing to give a shot for test-infra lead.

[tpepper]

We really need a shadow for @spiffxp as release lead...are there past role leads (or shadows?) who are interested in doing this for 1.13?

[justaugustus]

@kubernetes/sig-release -- anyone interested in stepping up as 1.14 Release Team Lead Shadow?

[jberkus]

I nominate @mariantalla as CI Signal Lead for 1.14.

[BenTheElder]

@justaugustus I'd shadow @spiffxp

I’d like to shadow test-infra! 😊😅

[taragu]

I would like to shadow test-infra! 😄

[ibrasho]

I'd like to shadow for either Test Infra, CI Signal (or Enhancements if both are already not available).

[markyjackson-taulia]

@justaugustus I would like to shadow for this release if possible (based on our talk)

[onyiny-ang]

To confirm @ameukam's cc, I volunteer to shadow release-notes again for this release. I think it would be great if we could explore some ways to automate verb tense consistency/formatting checks as per @marpaia's lightening talk at Kubecon. It might also be beneficial to re-evaluate the current organization of release-notes and develop some best practices around how release-notes should be organized (if it's determined that the current organization could be improved). For example, coordinating with sig-leads communications and docs lead and shadows prior to the release to identify overarching themes or major/important features and making sure they have high visibility within the release notes to ensure consistency so it's easier for users to digest and distinguish defining features of each release. I guess that's my platform :joy:

[munnerz]

There's been a few volunteers above already, but I'd like to volunteer for test-infra shadow as well 😄

[makoscafee]

I would love to shadow the Docs again.

[chkumar246]

Hey everyone! 👋 I would love to contribute anywhere I can.. I'd love to passively participate this time as I haven't done this before. I'd like to play the shadow role anywhere 🙂

Thanks for all the interest y'all. The Handbooks for each of the roles can be found @ https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/tree/master/release-team/role-handbooks. Please read them to familiarize yourself with the role and an overview of the work involved.

I know there have been a lot of requests for it, but I would like to shadow CI Signal under @mariantalla as well while doing anything needed for Enhancements assistance. I can take a far back seat to let others have the chance. I would like to familiarize myself with more aspects of the release process.

[sureshpalemoni]

Hello I would like to shadow Communications/Docs/Release Notes

[pontiyaraja]

I like to shadow test-infra

[spiffxp]

I would like for us to aim to have the team locked in place by the end of next week (Friday, Jan 11th)

[markyjackson-taulia]

If there is any room for me anywhere to help/shadow, I would love to be in

[timmycarr]

I would like to shadow bug triage or comms if possible.

[justaugustus]

It's really wonderful to see all of the people who have volunteered for the 1.14 Release Team!

I've seen your emails, DMs, and notes here; just churning through the post-holiday backlog.

The questionnaire for Release Team shadows will be out next week. Anyone still interested in shadowing will be required to submit it to be considered for a position. I'll post it here and on k-dev, once it's ready to go. :)

[krmayankk]

@justaugustus i would like to shadow on patch release management, bug triage and enhancements. Any one is good :-)

[krmayankk]

@justaugustus when do we know what we got ? Should we attend the next sig-release ?

[justaugustus]

The questionnaire for Release Team shadows will be out next week. Anyone still interested in shadowing will be required to submit it to be considered for a position. I'll post it here and on k-dev, once it's ready to go. :)

@krmayankk -- the survey will be out tomorrow. Hang tight in the meantime.

[justaugustus]

The Kubernetes 1.14 Release Team shadow questionnaire is live!
If you're interested in participating in the 1.14 Release Team, please fill it out: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/k8s-114-rt-shadows

[spiffxp]

Given that we just got the questionnaire out yesterday, doesn't seem realistic to lock in place today. Let's aim to have the team locked in place by the end of next week (Friday, Jan 18th)

[justaugustus]

@spiffxp -- SGTM!

[markyjackson-taulia]

Did the Kubernetes 1.14 Release Team shadows already form based on the questionnaire?

[justaugustus]

@markyjackson-taulia -- the 1.14 Leads are working through the survey results. You should have a response this week.

[spiffxp]

/close
I think our team has been pretty well assembled by this point

[k8s-ci-robot]

@spiffxp: Closing this issue.

It seems we don't have a patch release team yet.
