SIG Contributor Experience Deep Dive
summary
SIG Contributor Experience runs the contributor hub at kates.dev, maintains 50+ calendars and mailing lists, and monitors GitHub activity via devstats.cncf.io to track PR velocity and contributor counts. It built moderator tooling for ~120,000 Slack users that sends ephemeral nudges (for example replacing “guys” with “folks”), staged a virtual contributor celebration whose bake-off video became the channel’s top clip, and is coordinating a default-branch rename across 200+ repos while running mentoring programs like Google Summer of Code, Outreachy, and LFX.
