I suppose with the hackathon and flink forward behind us, I'm thinking we should start shifting gears more getting what we have into master in production state and less on continuing working on a hacking branch. If we think it'll fairly quick there's no big need to create an official branch, and if it's going to be long lived perhaps we should rethink our process.

A random branch on some personal GitHub account can seem a bit sketchy and adding a branch to our repo could make it more visible for people that are interested. > On 12.

This is a relatively simple change, but there were so many merge conflicts that in the end it was easier to just reimplement the changes atop master. More importantly, most changes will require refactoring before actually going in. > On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 3:16 PM, Robert Bradshaw <rober...@google.com> wrote: >> How much of this is not suitable to merging into master directly (not as >> is, but as separate PRs)? >> On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 3:10 PM Ben Sidhom <sid...@google.com> wrote: >> > Hey all, >> > I've been working on a proof-of-concept portable Flink runner with some >> other Beam contributors.
