# Kubernetes GitHub Organization Guide
The Kubernetes project leverages multiple GitHub organizations to store and
organize code. This guide contains the details on how to run those organizations
for CNCF compliance and for the guidelines of the community.
## SLOs
The [GitHub Administration Team] will aim to handle requests in the following
time frames:
- Organization invites should be handled within 72 hours of all requirements for
membership being met (all +1s obtained).
- Repository creation or migration requests should be responded to within 72
hours of the issue being opened. There may be information required or specific
requirements that take additional time, but once all requirements are met, the
repo should be created within 72 hours.
- Security or moderation requests should be handled ASAP, and coverage should be
provided in multiple time zones and countries.
- All other requests should be responded to within 72 hours of the issue being
opened. The time to resolve these requests will vary depending on the
specifics of the request.
If a request is taking longer than the above time frames, or there is a need to
escalate an urgent request, please mention **[@kubernetes/owners]** on the
associated issue for assistance.
## Organization Naming
Kubernetes managed organizations should be in the form of `kubernetes-[thing]`.
For example, [kubernetes-client](https://github.com/kubernetes-client) where the
API clients are housed.
Prior to creating an organization please contact the steering committee for
direction and approval.
Note: The CNCF, as part of the Linux Foundation, holds the trademark on the
Kubernetes name. All GitHub organizations with Kubernetes in the name should be
managed by the Kubernetes project or use a different name.
## Transferring Outside Code Into A Kubernetes Organization
Due to licensing and CLA issues, prior to transferring software into a
Kubernetes managed organization there is some due diligence that needs to occur.
Please contact the steering committee and CNCF prior to moving any code in.
It is easier to start new code in a Kubernetes organization than it is to
transfer in existing code.
## Team Guidance
Each organization should have the following teams:
- teams for each repo `foo`
- `foo-admins`: granted admin access to the `foo` repo
- `foo-maintainers`: granted write access to the `foo` repo
- `foo-reviewers`: granted read access to the `foo` repo; intended to be used
as a notification mechanism for interested/active contributors for the `foo`
repo
- a `bots` team
- should contain bots such as @k8s-ci-robot and @thelinuxfoundation that are
necessary for org and repo automation
- an `owners` team
- should be populated by everyone who has `owner` privileges to the org
- gives users the opportunity to ping owners as a group rather than having to
search for individuals
**NB**: Not all organizations in use today currently follow this team guidance.
We are looking to coalesce existing teams towards this model, and use this model
for all orgs going forward. Notable discrepancies at the moment:
- `foo-reviewers` teams are considered a historical subset of
`kubernetes-sig-foo-pr-reviews` teams and are intended mostly as a fallback
notification mechanism when requested reviewers are being unresponsive.
Ideally OWNERS files can be used in lieu of these teams.
- `admins-foo` and `maintainers-foo` teams as used by the kubernetes-incubator
org. This was a mistake that swapped the usual convention, and we would like
to rename the team
## Repository Guidance
Repositories have additional guidelines and requirements, such as the use of CLA
checking on all contributions. For more details on those please see the
[Kubernetes Template
Project](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes-template-project), and the
[Repository Guidelines](kubernetes-repositories.md)
