In any event, I think creating JIRA ticket (regardless of how right/wrong it 
may be) would be appropriate in such settings as well as producing a fix and a 
PR/Patch essentially allowing it to be vetted by ASF process. 
On the other hand I also hear Tony’s point about "short turnaround”. Certain 
issues may be very obvious (e.g., NPEs, spelling, misconfiguration etc) and I 
think we need to show a bit more flexibility while fostering community 
participation as I (based on personal experience in previous ventures) strongly 
believe that a bug fixed jointly in such settings and merged right away draws 
more interest from attendees to the specific technology and goes to the heart 
of the community participation/collaboration (everyone present is part of that 
fix - a true community fix). After all, attendees of such event are the 
community and if there is a consensus among all, that should be enough for an 
implied +1. Don’t you agree?
