With over 900 patches not yet reviewed and approved for Apache Hadoop,
it's time to make some strong progress on the bug list!
A number of Apache Hadoop committers and Hadoop-related tech companies
are hosting an Apache Hadoop Community event on Friday, May 8th, after HBaseCon
2015. You are hereby invited for a fun, daylong event devoted to identifying
and registering important patches and cleaning up the queue. Bring your own
computing power. We hope to see you there!
How to Get Involved
For this first event, we are primarily targeting individuals with some
experience either working with Hadoop or working with large, open source
projects. In order to hit the ground running on that day, it is recommended
some pre-work be done first:
1. Have or create an account on https://issues.apache.org/jira/.
2. Be familiar with the instructions on
https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute.
3. Have a working development and test environment. See BUILDING.txt
for requirements as well as how to execute a script to create a Docker image
that has all of the components.
4. Register with
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/apache-hadoop-global-bug-bash-tickets-16507188445
5. Hang out on the #hadoop channel on irc.freenode.net .
As we get closer to the day, we’ll posting more procedural-type
instructions and updates at https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/2015MayBugBash .
Thanks everyone!
