Joining the Flux community

We want the Flux project to be the vendor-neutral home for GitOps in a Cloud Native world.

Started 2016 to automate deployments at Weaveworks, the project has grown dramatically since then. Especially since the planning of Flux v2 and GitOps Toolkit SDK it was clearer that the scope became more ambitious and that the Flux project has become the home for the Flux family of projects, all solving specific GitOps needs.

We also want our community to be diverse, helpful, collaborative and a fun place to be, so we would love to have you join us!

Getting involved

Finding your interest

To get started, it’s important you find out which parts of Flux you are interested in first.

Currently stable:

V2 - soon to replace all v1 projects:

And there is loads more under https://github.com/fluxcd, we all work on this as a community together.

Joining the community

All the projects have docs to help you get started, so a first step is obviously using the projects and getting some first-hand experience. Afterwards you can help out on Slack answering questions, maybe extend the docs or fix some small issues.

Teams

Up until we started defining governance the Flux project had implicit teams only - if at all. In reality we all were one big team. Of course every contributing member of the community had their own area of interest and motivation.

We are in the process of slowly formalising some team structures apart from “interest in one or more given sub-project(s)”. There currently are

All projects and teams are open to contributors and every part of the Flux project appreciates your help and consideration. Check out the links above to learn more about the team in question.

Meetings

We run regular meetings and discuss things there. We are very happy if new users, contributors and developers join and we can put names to faces.

We are looking forward to seeing you there.
