Design Up Front: Socializing Ideas with Enhancement Proposals
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 · on Friday, 2021-10-15· at 16:30· Concourse Hall 151 + Online·
summary
Kubernetes, Tekton and Shipwright run structured enhancement proposals stored in GitHub single source of truth repos with a README design and a metadata file tracked by tooling; proposals target alpha beta GA stages, often require reviewers from two companies, and map to release planning or community roadmaps. Projects report faster, cheaper design iteration but suffer stalled PRs, reviewer bandwidth, and slow feedback; automation and SIG-first vetting reduce wasted author effort.
