Agreed! This would be a helpful resource. I've had a few situations (especially looking for advice for dealing with crazy "contributors") where I would have loved to use this...

This is wonderful and very needed. I can relate... Thanks for bringing this up! Don’t really know what the perfect setup (zoom? slack? in person meetings?) for such thing would be, but having

I would really need this already, good idea Matt! Lorenzo

+1 nb I think healthy projects have to have happy maintainers and contributors to thrive long-term. Also, part of that is for them to feel genuinely welcomed and included.

All agreed with Matt's points. To add to this, Prometheus has its own mailing list, and this will be true of others I suspect. We have had confusion about how mailing lists are supposed to work in

Hi, Yeah, good idea :) I've always missed networking channels for maintainers, I mean "inter-projects". And for the upcoming CloudNativeCon, I think would be great if CNCF could arrange some

+1 to this idea.

+1 NB. This SIG stands to benefit all projects, and hopefully, help recognize all types of contributors (non-code). I’d like to see a contributor ladder come forth here. - Lee

+1 from me as well. Thanks Paris!

While we're talking about this... If anyone needs someone to talk to or figure out how to deal with this stuff... I am happy to listen and share what I've learned. I feel like I have a system (that

This is a no brainer, we will create a mailing list to start: https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/339 We are also gearing up for our bi-annual maintainer survey next month, so if you have questions or

> Brandon and I hosted two zoom meetings last year where we invited all the maintainers to give us feedback on what the CNCF can do for them. I learned a lot from those meetings including lots of
