-### Helm

-[Helm](https://helm.sh) is the package manager for Kubernetes. The packages for
-Helm are called Charts. Helm version 2 is the current stable release series and
-is currently focused on stability, minor non-breaking feature additions, and
-better documentation.
-
-Helm is a sub-project on a much smaller scale from Kubernetes core, the most
-active repository on GitHub. Contributing to Helm and navigating the project is
-similar to many other open source projects.
-
-The [Helm Contributing Guide](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
-contains much of what you need to get started including:
-
-* Support and conversation channels
-* Filing issues and the lifecycle of issues
-* Project milestones and what [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org) means to Helm
-* Details on contributing a patch, via a pull request, and what to expect
-
-The Helm maintainers have a weekly public meeting that's open to anyone to attend.
-The meeting is recorded and available on YouTube for those unable to attend.
-Details on the meeting are in the [Readme](README.md) for SIG Apps.
-
-In addition to Helm itself, there are a number of sub-projects of Helm. These
-projects can be found on the [kubernetes-helm](https://github.com/kubernetes-helm).
-Each of these projects has its own contribution guide but is part of the broader
-Helm project.

-### Community Charts
-
-[Charts](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts) is a community curated set of Helm
-packages for Kubernetes. While organizations and individuals are encouraged to
-create their own charts – something Helm provides tools for – the community
-charts are a place for people to use, share, and contribute to.
-
-There are a few ways to contribute to charts:
-
-1. Create or improve charts
-1. Contribute to continuous testing
-1. Write down best practices or document other details
-
-Charts has its own [contributing guide](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
-and [review guidelines](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/blob/master/REVIEW_GUIDELINES.md)
-that can act as a launching off point for involvement.
