The sonic-mgmt repository is part of the SONiC project. This repository primarily supports:

  • SONiC testbed deployment
  • SONiC feature testing

This wiki is the central hub for documentation, ownership, and collaboration guidelines for sonic-mgmt. It is designed to help contributors, maintainers, and community members navigate the test infrastructure, contribute effectively, and stay aligned on project priorities.

Code Reviewers

This repo uses a GitHub Actions workflow to automatically assign reviewers for new pull requests. The workflow identifies the top contributors from git history for files touched by the PR and requests them as reviewers.

How it works:

  1. A codeowners-cli tool analyzes git history to identify top contributors per file/folder.
  2. The tool output is stored in .github/.code-reviewers/contributors.yaml and used to generate a reviewer index.
  3. When a PR is opened, the assignReviewers workflow matches changed files to contributors and assigns reviewers automatically.

Refreshing the contributors list:

The contributors list needs to be refreshed periodically by manually running the codeowners-cli tool. See run.sh for an example.

📘 Guidelines

SONiC Test Subgroup Meeting

Regular community meetings are held by the SONiC test subgroup to discuss test-related topics.

Meeting links and schedules are available in the SONiC Community Meeting Calendar.

To accommodate global contributors, there are two meeting series:

  • West time zone: Every 4 weeks on Wednesday, 15:00–16:00 (UTC) - Link
  • East time zone: Every 4 weeks on Wednesday, 07:00–08:00 (UTC) - Link

Meeting frequency may increase based on topics and community needs. Always check the SONiC Community Meeting Calendar for the latest schedule.

Typical meeting topics include:

  • Test plan reviews
  • Issue triage
  • PR reviews
  • Community collaboration process improvements

How to book a topic: To reserve time for a topic like test plan review or specific discussion, please email the meeting hosts in advance. Reserved topics are discussed first; remaining time can be used for issue triage or PR reviews.

The community is considering adding more meeting hosts in the future.

If a topic is reserved, hosts will update the table below with the scheduled topic.

Github ID - Email

Sometimes, discussions in Issues or Pull Request comments are not sufficient, and it becomes necessary to contact community members by email for further conversation. However, finding a community member's email address can be challenging. To make this easier, the table below tracks additional information about community members, such as GitHub ID, name, email address, company, and more. Sharing information beyond your GitHub ID is completely voluntary—please feel free to update the table if you are willing to share these details with the community.
