Sig-release: Assemble Kubernetes 1.15 Release Team

[spiffxp]

This is the official issue for assembling the Kubernetes 1.15 Release Team.

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

tl;dr the current role chooses their successor, this should happen trasnparently

There may be refinements to the process along the way, but I would like to open this issue to get the ball rolling.

I'll open a companion PR to go along with this issue

/sig release
/area release-team
/milestone v1.15

[spiffxp]

/assign @spiffxp
I'll be pinging the v1.14 roles for their selections

/assign @claurence @tpepper
I've asked @claurence to take the role of Release Lead, and @tpepper to take the role of Release Lead Shadow. This is not intended to setup Tim to take on v1.16, so I would recommend one additional Release Lead Shadow TBD by whatever process @claurence sees fit.

[spiffxp]

At this point in the process, we're not looking to identify shadows, solely leads.

[spiffxp]

/assign @justaugustus
You've opened the last three of these, if you have opinions or suggestions on how this should proceed. I may be occupied with getting things out the door as we near the end of the cycle so it would be helpful to have someone not so close to the wire ensure this results in a timely release team

[claurence]

I'd like to nominate @kacole2 to be enhancements lead for 1.15

[justaugustus]

@spiffxp -- I'm on it! Release Team HR is my fave :heart_eyes:

[nikopen]

Happy to nominate Nick Lane @soggiest to lead bug triage for v1.15!

[amwat]

As discussed in the release team meeting, we'd like to experiment with having a non-googler test infra lead with a confirmed googler co-lead/shadow (who has access to the infrastructure).
To that effect I'd like to nominate @imkin to be the test-infra lead and @Katharine for the co-lead/shadow :)

[lachie83]

I would like to express interest in the following roles:

• Release team lead shadow
• Enhancements shadow

[kacole2]

thanks @claurence. Happy to accept and help you make another successful Kubernetes release!

[justaugustus]

I'd like to +1 @lachie83 as an additional Release Team Lead shadow!

[nikopen]

Having been part of the release team since v1.12 and triage lead in the last two releases, I'm interested in being a Release Lead Shadow.

[hoegaarden]

I'd like to nominate Cheryl Fong @Bubblemelon to be release branch management lead for v1.15.

[jimangel]

I'd like to nominate Barnie (@MAKOSCAFEE) to be docs lead for 1.15!

[mariantalla]

I'd like to nominate @alejandrox1 to be the v1.15 CI signal lead.

[justaugustus]

The initial PR for the 1.15 Release Team is here: #548

@claurence -- please approve your shadows and that PR when you have a chance.

@dstrebel / @nwoods3 -- please nominate your successors for Release Notes and Communications Lead, respectively.

[nwoods3]

I would like to nominate @castrojo for Communications Lead 1.15 and @onlydole @kbarnard10 and I would like to be considered for shadows.

[dstrebel]

Would like to nominate @onyiny-ang for Release Notes lead for 1.15.

[claurence]

I'd like to accept @lachie83 @nikopen and @tpepper as Release Lead shadows for 1.15

[claurence]

and adding in @jberkus who has expressed interest in being a Lead for Shadows for 1.15. This is a new role whose initial responsibilities would be to support shadows, ensure their success and help with shadow selection.

[jimangel]

After doing docs for the past 3 releases, I'm interested in pushing my comfort zone and being a CI Signal Shadow for 1.15.

[krmayankk]

i would like to shadow for Enhancements

[mariantalla]

If there's still space, I'd be interested in shadowing test-infra.

[craiglpeters]

I'd like to shadow enhancements 🖐

[claurence]

Thanks for all the interest in shadowing! We will be sending out a survey again similar to what was done in the 1.14 cycle

@spiffxp - given we're doing a survey for shadows do we need to leave this issue open until shadow selection is done or is getting the lead team enough to close this?

[justaugustus]

Let's keep it open until we either close the books on shadows or post a link to the forthcoming survey.

[simplytunde]

I am still interested in continuing my role as a doc shadow for 1.15. excited!!!

[jberkus]

The application from for Shadows is now available! Please fill it out if you're interested in shadowing.

@simplytunde @craiglpeters @mariantalla @krmayankk @lachie83

[Bubblemelon]

@SlickNik would like to continue as a branch management shadow from 1.14 :tada:

[denisra]

I know I might be a bit late for this release, but I'd like to shadow for the Patch Release Management Team or the Bug Triage if possible.

[justaugustus]

This is complete! Thanks to everyone who volunteered!
