    right place.

+ ## Creating a new SIG
137
+
138
+ The process of creating a new SIG involves two major components:
139
+ community building and the administrative side.
140
+
141
+ Bring your SIG proposal first to the centos-devel mailing list to find
142
+ other like-minded people who wish to start the SIG with you. Also look
143
+ around outside of the CentOS project for people who may want to
144
+ distribute projects on CentOS
145
+
146
+ Once you have a core group that wants to make this happen, open a ticket
147
+ on the [board issue tracker](https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issues)
148
+ with your proposed SIG, and someone there will walk you through the
149
+ process.
