Special Interest Groups
Rucio Special Interest Groups (SIG) serve the purpose to offer a forum for interested users, operators, and developers to discuss and plan the evolution of a specific part of Rucio. The topic of a SIG needs to be well-defined and the community interest on the topic needs to be above a threshold to justify the creation of a SIG, instead of covering the topic just within the weekly Rucio meeting. A SIG topic can involve one or multiple Rucio components, or even the entire system. SIGs are open to any interrested community member.
Structure
Each SIG must define
- A well-defined objective of the group (Creation of a report, Development of a functionality, ...)
- An expected end-date
- Means to achieve the objective, such as regular meetings, a mailing-list, mattermost channel, a workshop, ...
- A convener
