Community meeting

If you’re new to etcd, this meeting is probably the place to start! It’s also where you should bring proposals of new features or major project changes, or follow-ups on PR reviews.

Issue triage

Issue triage meetings alternate weeks with the Community Meeting. They are aimed at getting through our backlog of PRs and Issues. Triage meetings are open to any contributor; you don’t have to be a reviewer or approver to help out! They can also be a good way to get started contributing.

Robustness tests

Join us biweekly for a collaborative exploration of etcd’s correctness under pressure. Our goals are to demystify distributed system testing by sharing knowledge and fostering a robust testing culture within the etcd community, as well as to expand expertise by mentoring new reviewers and approvers for etcd robustness tests. We invite community members to propose items for the meetings.

Documentation Meetings

Want to help improve and expand etcd’s documentation? Have a feature that needs to be added to the docs? Or maybe you want to write or edit a blog post. We could use you. This is also a good first meeting for you if you’re in Australia, NZ, China, or Japan time zones.

Operator working group

Join the etcd operator working group for discussions on the development and management of the etcd operator. These meetings are held biweekly and are open to all community members who wish to contribute or stay informed about the project.

Join contributors and maintainers online, every two weeks.

For meeting details, consult the etcd community meeting and [robustness tests meeting][robustness-tests-meeting-doc] documents.

Missed a meeting? No problem. See the etcd channel for meeting videos.

Contributing

Your contributions to etcd code and documentation are welcome! If you find a problem or would like an enhancement, create an issue -- or better yet, consider submitting a pull request.
