Hi everyone, It's been about 3 months since we released Avro 1.8.0 and we've already accumulated several fixes that we should get out in a release. Sean suggested it a few days ago, but I'm not sure if everyone saw that thread. Anyone interested in being the release manager for 1.8.1?
I think we should set a goal of a release about once each quarter. If we let ourselves go 18 months between releases, then contributors can't use their work soon enough to continue caring and contributing. I think a quarterly release goal is a good first step toward making the project more contributor-friendly. For example, we usually have good participation getting ready for releases so it's a good excuse to get some reviews done in addition to getting committed fixes out the door. Thoughts and comments? rb -- Ryan Blue
