Kgateway Community is a governance and community documentation repository for an open source, cloud-native Layer 7 proxy based on Envoy that implements gateway routing using Kubernetes Gateway API resources.
The repository serves to organize and document how the kgateway project operates as a community. It provides the structural information needed for participation, including communication channels, meeting schedules, and contribution guidelines. The project maintains dedicated Slack channels for general discussion and contributor coordination, hosts regular community meetings with recorded sessions, and publishes governance documentation that defines how decisions are made and the project is managed.
Developers considering involvement with kgateway should use this repository as their entry point to understand how to engage. The repository clearly separates paths for code contributions and documentation contributions, each with dedicated guidance. It also establishes security reporting procedures through vulnerability disclosure documentation. This is the appropriate place to learn the project's governance model and find the calendar for community meetings where use cases and concerns can be discussed directly with maintainers.
The project maintains active communication infrastructure with multiple Slack channels for different purposes and a documented meeting schedule. Documentation is organized into distinct contribution guides for code and documentation work, with governance policies formally documented. Security issues have an established disclosure process separate from general communication channels.
