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.

The KernelCI Dashboard is a web platform (Django + React) which aims at providing an easy way for the community to look at the test results. Its API also powers kci-dev - our cmdline tooling - for results visualization in the terminal. It is still under active development, open to feedback and feature requests, all in https://github.com/kernelci/dashboard.

The KernelCI Dashboard working group meets every 2 weeks on Mondays at 14 UTC via Zoom. There we discuss bug reports, feature requests, and prioritization.

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
