Thank you Robbe. I reviewed the document it looks reasonable to me. I will touch on some points that were not mentioned: - Runner exercise different code paths. Doing auto conversions and focusing on DirectRunner is not enough. It is worthwhile to run things on DataflowRunner as well. This can be triggered from Jenkins. It will validate that we are still compatible for python 2. - Similar to above but with an eye on perf regressions.
For project tracking on JIRA, please feel free to create any new issues, close stale ones, or take ownership of any open issues. All JIRAs should be assigned to the people actively working on them. If you wan to track it in a separate way, you can also propose that. (For example a kanban board is used for portability effort which is fully supported in JIRA.) I will also call out to a few other people in addition to Holden who helped out or showed interest in helping with Python 3. @cclaus, @luke-zhu, @udim, @robertwb, @charlesccychen, @tvalentyn. You can include these people (and myself) for reviews and other questions that you have. Welcome again, and looking forward to your contributions.
