KubeVirt Community is a repository that serves as the central hub for governance, membership policies, and organizational structure of the KubeVirt project.
The repository addresses the need for transparent project governance and community coordination in an open-source virtualization project. It centralizes documentation about how the project is organized, including membership requirements, decision-making processes through Special Interest Groups and Working Groups, and event scheduling. This approach allows contributors and users to understand the project's structure and find the right channels for participation without needing to navigate multiple sources.
Developers considering whether to engage with this repository should understand that it is not the main codebase—the actual KubeVirt implementation lives elsewhere. This repository is most valuable for those seeking to understand project governance, contribute to the community, or participate in organized working groups. It provides entry points for different types of involvement, from code contributions to non-code participation, and includes guidelines for AI-assisted contributions. The repository also directs users to release-specific information and roadmap details maintained in a separate location.
The project maintains active community engagement through multiple channels including weekly meetings, social media presence, and dedicated Slack channels. Documentation is regularly updated to reflect current policies and contribution guidelines, with clear pathways established for both new and experienced contributors to understand how to participate effectively.
