The presentation discusses the sub-projects of the Kubernetes Special Interest Group for Contributor Experience and their automation efforts in generating annual reports.
The Kubernetes Special Interest Group for Contributor Experience manages sub-projects such as community, community management, documentation, Dev stats, elections, events, and GitHub management.
The group also focuses on mentoring and Slack infrastructure.
The annual report generator tool creates empty annual report templates and issue templates for the sub-projects.
Automation efforts were made to generate lists of community enhancement proposals for the annual report templates.
The annual reports serve as a way to gauge the health of sub-projects and to identify areas where help is needed.
The reports can also be used to convince employers to allow contributions to Kubernetes.
The group is in need of help in the mentoring and elections sub-projects.
