Assemble Kubernetes 1.12 Release Team

[justaugustus]

There were some rumblings on #sig-release in getting a jump on assembling the Release Team for 1.12.
I'm interested in picking up the Features Lead role (PR here: #166) and @tpepper had some interest in assuming a role as well.

Opening this issue for tracking nominations and whatnot.

/assign @jberkus

[kacole2]

I'm interested in shadowing you @justaugustus for Features.

[justaugustus]

@kacole2 That would be dope!
I believe we're going to be discussing the selection process at the SIG Release meeting tomorrow at 5pm EDT.
Zoom link here. Stop by, if you can.

[justaugustus]

From today's SIG Release meeting:

• @tpepper for RT Lead
• @AishSundar for RT Lead Shadow
• @justaugustus for Features Lead
• @kacole2 for Features Lead Shadow (mentioned above, +1 to this!)

Adding @christianh814 to #168 as CI Signal Shadow.

[justaugustus]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that I've seen all of the comments and am SOOOOO thrilled about how many people are ready to step up for Release Team duty!

We're going to make an open call announcement at tomorrow's Community Meeting, and continue building a bit of a pipeline before making any other decisions on roles.

Please note that for some (read: most) roles, we're happy to have multiple shadows.
Here are the currently available roles:

• CI Signal Lead
• Bug Triage Lead + Shadow(s)
• Branch Manager Lead + Shadow(s)
• Release Notes Lead + Shadow(s)
• Communications Shadow(s)
• Patch Release Manager + Shadow(s)

There are also some role that are filled, but could have multiple shadows.

Watch this thread for updates! :)

[justaugustus]

@rajendar38 Just to clarify, would you prefer to participate as a Features shadow or a PR Triage shadow?
Either is fine, I just need to know which.

[justaugustus]

Hey everyone,

Thank you so much for volunteering for the Kubernetes 1.12 Release Team!
Anyone who posted here should have a role; please check #168 and verify that. Please also feel free to review the PR to ensure your contact info is accurate.

To participate in the Release Team, you may occassionally need magic powers, which come from being a Kubernetes GitHub organization member.

Here are a few useful resources to help you along in that journey:

• Community Membership
• Kubernetes Contributor Guide
• Kubernetes Cheat Sheet
• Understanding the release process

...and some useful Slack channels:

• #sig-contribex (Contributor Experience)
• #sig-release (For Release activities)
• #kubernetes-dev
• #kubernetes-users
• #kubernetes-teachers
• #kubernetes-novice
• #meet-our-contributors

I would suggest proactively reaching out to your role lead to get a jump on the process and learn how you can best contribute.

Additionally, we're still looking to staff the following roles:

• CI Signal Lead
• Bug Triage Lead
• PR Triage Lead
• Branch Manager

So feel free to send anyone who might be a good fit for these roles our way!

Happy shipping!
