The core team of maintainers are Mike Beaumont (@michaelbeaumont), Chetan Patwal (@cPu1), Jake Klein (@aclevername) and Claudia Beresford (@Callisto13).
The project uses Slack. If you get stuck or just have a question then you are encouraged to join the Weave Community Slack workspace and use the #eksctl channel.
Eksctl is an open-source project built to interact with a closed-source product. This means that 99% of the project operates like any other open-source one, with 1% of things happening in slightly secretive fashion as the maintainers work with the folks at Amazon to synchronise the release of cool new EKS stuff 😎 .
For that 99%, we strive to keep development open, and transparent. Work is driven through partnership with AWS and the needs of the community. We welcome all contributions and user feedback to the project.
The roles in the eksctl community are as follows:
- End users. In other words the reason why we are all here!
- Community contributors. These could be end users themselves, or those working on their open-source game.
- Maintainers. See the maintainer docs for a list of maintainer responsibilities.
Decisions are made by Maintainers with input from both Amazon and the community. All the decisions which can be made publicly will take into account the opinions of all in the community with sufficient opportunity given for those interested to get involved.
A new schedule and format for community meetings is being worked out... watch this space! 👾 👀
The main one is Always be kind, and the rest can be found in our Code of Conduct.
