<h3 name="workinggroups">Working Groups</h3>

<p>
As the community has scaled, we work on larger and more involved features and components in separate interest or <i>working</i> groups.
We keep track of these working groups <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MESOS/Apache+Mesos+Working+Groups">here</a>.
In this list, you will be able to get in touch with the stakeholders, contributors and committers interested in certain features for Mesos and join in on the design meetings.
