Thanks, Julien and Dan for volunteering!
I think we should have at a minimum 4 people so that it isn't a big
commitment, preferably 6. That way we share the load enough.
Is anyone else thinking about volunteering, but unsure? If so, please
reach out so we can work with you.
For example, if it's a matter of not being confident in some or all
sections of the code, we can work through it by pairing up with someone
that can help you learn.
I think this can be a really good way for newer contributors to get more
involved and learn about different parts of the project. Don't be shy!

This sounds good to me.
I'd sign up for triaging.
The more the merrier!

Hi everyone,
In the Parquet sync-up today, we were talking about how to keep up with
bugs and patches. The idea is that we don't want to scramble getting them
all done in the weeks before a release. That delays our releases and
doesn't get back to contributors soon enough, while they are most likely
to
continue contributing.
I think one way to avoid the problem is to sign up for triaging issues
and
contributions on a weekly schedule. The person who is signed up would
watch
for bug reports and contributions for a week and make sure it gets
addressed. That could mean fixing small bugs or finding the right person
to
do a review and getting confirmation they are looking at it. We should
also
be sure to mark issues in JIRA so we know what are release blockers as
they
come in.
I think a weekly rotation can be a good way to make sure this gets done,
but it depends on having volunteers that like the idea and would sign up.
What does everyone think? Would you sign up for one week every 2 months
or
so?
