Working groups

KernelCI Working Groups

Working groups are small teams of people focusing on a particular aspect of the project. Each group typically relies on a monthly meeting and a GitHub workboard to keep track of things.

There should also be a lead to coordinate activities within each group, such as:

  • updating the workboard
  • preparing regular meeting agendas and keeping minutes
  • sharing regular reports with the TSC, board and public mailing list

Infra WG

Formally known as the Infrastructure Committee, this group drives the infrastructure development of KernelCI, translating community requirements to system features. This group also drives Sysadmin team.

Mailing list: kernelci@lists.linux.dev

Members

The infrastructure WG is regulated by the KernelCI Technical Charter. Rules can be changed through TSC approval and documented in this git repo.

Web dashboard

Workboard: https://github.com/orgs/kernelci/projects/4

Mailing list: kernelci-webdashboard@groups.io

Team:

KernelCI designed a new Web Dashboard from scratch. This working group has been driving the progress of that work since the beginning of the work with the UX analysis conducted with the community.

SysAdmin

Workboard: https://github.com/orgs/kernelci/projects/7

Team:

The KernelCI common infrastructure requires some regular maintenance to keep web servers, databases and Cloud services up and running. This does not include any test lab other than some Kubernetes clusters as hardware platforms are maintained by separate companies and individuals. Members of the SysAdmin working group have admin rights on all KernelCI systems, wherever applicable. As per the 2022-12-08 TSC vote, admin rights cover the following items:

  • Machines (SSH, sudo):

    • Azure VMs
    • Kubernetes nodes
  • Web applications:

    • SysAdmin GitHub project board
    • Azure portal (admin access)
  • Encrypted repositories:

    • kernelci-jenkins-data
    • builder-config-data
