Community Membership

This document outlines the responsibilities of contributor roles in Agones.

This is based on the Kubernetes Community Membership.

There are currently two roles for this project, but that may grow in the future.

Role Responsibilities Requirements Defined by
Releaser Create Agones releases Sponsored by 2 approvers Commit access to the Agones repository
Approver Review and approve contributions Sponsored by 2 approvers and multiple contributions to the project Commit access to the Agones repository and OWNERS file approver entry

New contributors

New contributors should be welcomed to the community by existing members, helped with PR workflow, and directed to relevant documentation and communication channels.

Established community members

Established community members are expected to demonstrate their adherence to the principles in this document, familiarity with project organization, roles, policies, procedures, conventions, etc., and technical and/or writing ability. Role-specific expectations, responsibilities, and requirements are enumerated below.

Releaser

Releasers are engineers that are able to commit to the Agones repository with the express purpose of publishing Agones releases. They are not approvers and as such are not expected to perform code reviews or merge PRs. Using their commit privileges above and beyond creating releases is grounds for revoking commit access and being demoted from being a releaser.

Defined by: Commit access to the Agones repository.

Requirements

  • Enabled two-factor authentication on their GitHub account
  • Work at Google
    • This is due to some steps in the release process that require Google internal processes
  • Have read the contributor guide
  • Sponsored by 2 approvers. Note the following requirements for sponsors:
    • Unlike for the Approver role, sponsors should both be from Google
  • Open an issue against the Agones repo
    • Ensure your sponsors are @mentioned on the issue
    • Label the issue with the meta tag
    • Complete every item on the checklist (preview the current version of the template)
    • There is no need to include any contributions to the Agones project
  • Have your sponsoring approvers reply confirmation of sponsorship: +1

Responsibilities and privileges

  • Responsible for creating Agones releases
  • Granted commit access to Agones repo

Approver

Code approvers are able to both review and approve code contributions. While code review is focused on code quality and correctness, approval is focused on holistic acceptance of a contribution including: backwards / forwards compatibility, adhering to API and flag conventions, subtle performance and correctness issues, interactions with other parts of the system, etc.

Defined by: Commit access to the Agones repository and OWNERS file approver entry.

Note: Acceptance of code contributions requires at least one approver.

Requirements

  • Enabled two-factor authentication on their GitHub account
  • Have made multiple contributions to Agones. Contribution must include:
    • Authored at least 3 PRs on GitHub
    • Provided reviews on at least 4 PRs they did not author
    • Filing or commenting on issues on GitHub
  • Have read the contributor guide
  • Sponsored by 2 approvers. Note the following requirements for sponsors:
    • Sponsors must have close interactions with the prospective member - e.g. code/design/proposal review, coordinating on issues, etc.
    • Sponsors must be from multiple companies to demonstrate integration across community.
  • Open an issue against the Agones repo
    • Ensure your sponsors are @mentioned on the issue
    • Label the issue with the meta tag
    • Complete every item on the checklist (preview the current version of the template)
    • Make sure that the list of contributions included is representative of your work on the project
  • Have your sponsoring approvers reply confirmation of sponsorship: +1

Responsibilities and privileges

  • Responsible for project quality control via code reviews
    • Focus on code quality and correctness, including testing and factoring
    • May also review for more holistic issues, but not a requirement
  • Expected to be responsive to review requests in a timely manner
  • Assigned PRs to review related based on expertise
  • Granted commit access to Agones repo
