To learn more about the product, see the Kyma repository.

Kyma is also on social media. Visit the website and follow Kyma on Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Contribution

We are an open-source community and the number of contributors is growing. Meet the Kyma team members who are the regular contributors and the Kyma founders.

Process

Before you start to contribute, review the contribution rules. To understand better the way the Kyma community works, read about the working model and learn about the Special Interest Groups and Working Groups in Kyma.

All contributors follow the recommended Git workflow that relies on forks, branches, rebasing, and squashing. Review it to ensure that you contribute high-quality code and content to the project.

Issues

To request a feature or report a bug, go to the given repository's issue tracker and raise an issue using one of the available templates. The owners of the repository will review your issue and provide you with their feedback. If you are not certain which repository your issue refers to, open it in the kyma repository.

Collaboration

Feel invited to join the public Core SIG meetings where you can contribute to the Kyma development and help us drive it forward. Contact the Kyma team directly on Slack to exchange ideas, ask questions, receive hints and tips, and extend your experience with Kyma.

Guidelines and templates

You can also find these guidelines and templates in the community repository:

• Naming conventions
• Document templates
• Overview of the content strategy and content guidelines
• Release process details
• Decisions made by Kyma team members and the Core SIG.
• Coding standards

There are also repository guidelines for the Kyma team members. The guidelines contain a folder, file, and document structure required for a skeleton Kyma repository.

Security

The community is relentless about Kyma security. To report a security issue, send an email with details directly to [email protected] instead of using a public issue tracker.
