Define Special Interest Groups

[davidmirror-ops]

Motivation

Flyte community members come from different backgrounds and have specialized skills in various fields. Special Interest Groups are a way to define a "community inside the community" or gather individuals with similar interests to learn and create together. Withing SIGs, a narrower focus can be defined and more specific ideas can be discussed and/or implemented; helping scale the community by leveraging the expertise of its members.

Proposal

The proposal aims to define the requirements to form a SIG, a template to ease the process of defining a Scope, roles, and overall objectives. Some of the design principles would include: aligning with the new Governance model, making sure there is just enough structure while keeping the process simple, and giving a clear path to anyone looking to join a SIG.

Implementation

The SIG charter templates can take inspiration from the Kubernetes Steering Committee docs, and could be put into test by proposing at least one of the following ideas for SIGs:

• SIG Integrations (extending and improving Flyte's integrations ecosystem)
• SIG Large Models
• SIG Observavility
• What else?

I like SIG. could we also add some folks in sig to reviewers or approvers? they can help us review PRs.

hey @pingsutw that would be the Contributor role as defined in Governance

Right now, the process to add Contributors is just a matter of checking requirements and nominating the individual specifying the repo where they would have the privileges mentioned in the doc
