Community Meetings

The Cilium contributors gather regularly for a Zoom call open to everyone. During that time, we discuss:

Status of the next releases for each supported Cilium release
Current state of our CI: flakes being investigated and upcoming changes
Development items for the next release
Any other community-relevant topics during the open session

If you want to discuss something during the next meeting's open session, you can add it to the meeting's Google doc. The Zoom link to the meeting is available in the #development Slack channel and in the meeting notes.

Special Interest Groups

The Cilium project has Special Interest Groups, or SIGs, with a common purpose of advancing the project with respect to a specific topic, such as network policy or documentation. Their goal is to enable a distributed decision structure and code ownership, as well as providing focused forums for getting work done, making decisions, and on boarding new contributors.

To learn more about what they are, how to get involved, or which ones are currently active, please check out the SIG.md in the community repo <https://github.com/cilium/community/blob/main/SIG.md>_
