# SIGs - Special Interest Groups

As described in the ONNX [governance](https://github.com/onnx/onnx/tree/master/community#sig---special-interest-groups), Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are persistent groups responsible for specific parts of the project. SIGs have open and transparent proceedings to develop goals and implement code contributions. SIGs are also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the code in their areas.

## Joining a SIG
If you are interested in participating, please [join the discussion](https://gitter.im/onnx) in the respective Gitter room. Details about any upcoming meetings will also be shared in the Gitter rooms. SIG artifacts can be found in the [sigs repository](https://github.com/onnx/sigs).
