# CNCF Staff Repository

This repository tracks the work of the [CNCF Projects Team](https://www.cncf.io), documenting monthly activities and contributions across the cloud native ecosystem.

## What is This?

The CNCF Projects Team supports the operational needs of 180+ [CNCF projects](https://www.cncf.io/projects/), maintaining critical infrastructure, governance documentation, and community resources. This repository serves as the source of truth for team activities and automated reporting.

## Monthly Reports

Monthly activity reports track team contributions across CNCF repositories. Each report includes:

- **Executive Summary**: Month's key achievements and focus areas
- **Team Metrics**: Aggregate pull requests, issues, and repository impact
- **Individual Contributions**: Detailed breakdown of each team member's work
- **Repository Activity**: Comprehensive list of PRs and issues by repository

Reports are automatically published as GitHub issues when committed to the `reports/` directory.

## Automation

This repository uses GitHub Actions to automatically:

1. **Create GitHub Issues**: When a report is committed to `reports/`, an issue is automatically created or updated
2. **Title Extraction**: Issue titles are extracted from the H1 heading in each report
3. **Content Sync**: Issue bodies are kept in sync with report file contents
4. **Weekly Project Metrics**: Every Monday at 9:00 AM UTC, a new project metrics report is generated

### Project Metrics Reports

The repository automatically generates weekly reports tracking CNCF project lifecycle metrics:

- **Graduation Review Backlog**: Count of projects in graduation review by status
- **Graduation Review Velocity**: Average time to complete graduation reviews
- **Incubation Review Backlog**: Count of projects in incubation review by status
- **Incubation Review Velocity**: Average time to complete incubation reviews
- **Sandbox Application Reviews**: Count of sandbox applications completed by year
- **Sandbox Review Velocity**: Average time to complete sandbox reviews
- **Onboarding Completed**: Count of project onboardings completed by year

Reports are generated from:
- GitHub Projects API (CNCF TOC Project Board #27)
- TOC repository issues (graduation/incubation labels)
- Sandbox repository issues (New and onboarding labels)

Reports are saved to `reports/projects/` with accompanying visualizations.

No manual issue creation is required - simply commit a report file and the automation handles the rest.

## Report Format

Monthly reports follow a standardized format:

- **Filename**: `YYYY-MM-projects-team-report.md`
- **Title**: `# Projects Team - YYYY-MM-01`
- **Sections**: Executive Summary, Team Summary, Individual Contributors

Example: `reports/2025-09-projects-team-report.md` → Issue titled "Projects Team - 2025-09-01"

## Data Sources

Reports are generated from:
- GitHub API data (pull requests, issues, commits)
- CNCF DevStats (contribution analytics)
- Project lifecycle tracking systems
- LFX Mentorship platform data

**Note**: Reports capture GitHub activity only and are not a complete measure of team member performance. Many activities (meetings, strategy, cross-functional work) are not reflected in GitHub metrics.
