The Cloud Native Computing Foundation supports the worldwide community of Cloud Native Community Groups (CNCGs) - community.cncf.io. CNCF is currently working on expanding the Cloud Native community worldwide, and we are happy to accept any new local communities to join our network. If you are interested in joining the list of official CNCF Community Groups, please review the information below. As of 2021, Cloud Native Community Groups program is powered by the Bevy platform, and managed by the CNCF staff.

For all Cloud Native Community Groups, CNCF offers the following benefits:

• One-time complimentary swag coupon of $100 USD to the CNCF Store provided to each community group (not to each organizer), is available after hosting 2 successful events per chapter within 3 months. NOTE: Registration must happen within the Bevy platform for this coupon to be earned. Requesting your voucher - write to [email protected] with your linked Bevy event pages.
• Joining the CNCF organizer-exclusive Slack channel for collaboration
• Boosting the visibility of your community group and events. See below under the “Communication” section for more details.
• Cost coverage for the hosted community platform, Bevy
  • This includes support from CNCF (Katie Greenley and Audra Montenegro)
  • And monthly office hours hosted by Bevy expert Maia Walshe

Please check out our best_practices.

Please fill out this request form in its entirety. If you do not hear back within 30 days, please reach out to [email protected] Please do not fill out the form more than once for the same chapter/city request.

CNCF is also happy to provide the space for projects communities at community.cncf.io (eg. to host the regular community meetings).

To request a new community chapter for the CNCF project, please file a ticket to the CNCF ServiceDesk - servicedesk.cncf.io (available for the project maintainers listed here - maintainers.cncf.io).

CNCF and Bevy have organized the training session for the Community Groups organizers. It has been recorded and now available on YouTube. You can also access shorter, more specific training videos by having a look at these self-paced video tutorials (use password "devfest").

Bevy Help Portal is available at https://help.bevylabs.com/.

Please reach out to us on the #communitygroups channel on the CNCF slack. Please don't use DMs unless strictly necessary as doing so both has the potential of overwhelming project maintainers and others with similar questions lose the benefit of public discussion.

It's best if you use a public communication channel whenever possible; however, if you need to communicate in private, please feel free to send the program admins a note via [email protected] (please use the public channels for any program-related discussion).

The #socialmedia channel via the CNCF slack workspace is also a great place to post your social media efforts requesting assistance from CNCF to amplify. Just tag Katie Meinders for Twitter, and Jessie Adams-Shore for LinkedIn.

• If you have any technical difficulties with the platform itself, please reach out to the Bevy platform support directly.
• Troubleshooting: The troubleshooting guide by Bevy is available here: help.bevylabs.com/article/499-troubleshooting

If your group has more than 90 days of inactivity in the number of events/meetups being help, then you will be deemed an “Inactive” group via the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and removed from community.cncf.io

Should a community group violate vendor neutrality, a CNCF core value, the following path towards deactivation will ocur.

• 1st offense = a written violation via email
• 2nd offense = a community meeting with organizers for final warning
• 3rd offense = disabling your chapter

The troubleshooting guide by Bevy is available here.
