# Helm Maintainers
|
|
|
|
This document explains the leadership structure of the Kubernetes Helm project, and list the current project maintainers.
|
|
|
|
## What is a Maintainer?
|
|
|
|
(Unabashedly stolen from the [Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/MAINTAINERS) project)
|
|
|
|
There are different types of maintainers, with different responsibilities, but
|
|
all maintainers have 3 things in common:
|
|
|
|
1. They share responsibility in the project's success.
|
|
2. They have made a long-term, recurring time investment to improve the project.
|
|
3. They spend that time doing whatever needs to be done, not necessarily what
|
|
is the most interesting or fun.
|
|
|
|
## Types of Maintainers
|
|
|
|
The Helm project includes two types of maintainers: collaborators and core maintainers.
|
|
|
|
### Helm Collaborators
|
|
|
|
Helm collaborators are developers who have commit access to the Helm repository.
|
|
The duties of a collaborator include:
|
|
|
|
* Classify and respond to GitHub issues and review pull requests
|
|
* Perform code reviews
|
|
* Shape the Helm roadmap and lead efforts to accomplish roadmap milestones
|
|
* Participate actively in feature development and bug fixing
|
|
* Answer questions and help users
|
|
|
|
### Helm Core Maintainers
|
|
|
|
Helm core maintainers help shape the direction of the Helm project. In addition to the duties of a Collaborator, Helm Core Maintainers also:
|
|
|
|
* Run project planning meetings
|
|
* Place GitHub issues into GitHub milestones
|
|
* Prioritize issues within a milestone
|
|
|
|
The current core maintainers of Helm (in alphabetical order):
|
|
|
|
* Jack Greenfield - [@jackgr](https://github.com/jackgr)
|
|
* Matt Butcher - [@technosophos](https://github.com/technosophos)
|
|
|
|
## Project Planning
|
|
|
|
The Helm core maintainers hold regular planning meetings to set the project direction, milestones, and relative prioritization of issues. Planning meetings are coordinated via the #Helm room in the [Kubernetes Slack](http://slack.kubernetes.io/). In order to solicit feedback from the community, planning meetings are run in public whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
## Becoming a Maintainer
|
|
|
|
Generally, potential maintainers are selected by the existing core maintainers based in part on the following criteria:
|
|
|
|
* Sustained contributions to the project over a period of time (usually months)
|
|
* A willingness to help users on GitHub and in the [#Helm Slack room](http://slack.kubernetes.io/)
|
|
* A friendly attitude
|
|
|
|
The Helm core maintainers must unanimously agree before inviting a community member to join as a maintainer, although in many cases the candidate has already been acting in the capacity of a maintainer for some time, and has been consulted on issues, pull requests, etc.
