We are very excited to propose an idea that brings the Phoenix community together to have technical discussions on a recurring basis. The goal is to have a forum where we share technical knowledge we have acquired by working on various aspects of Phoenix and to continue to bring innovation and improvements as a community into Phoenix. We’d love to get feedback on this idea and determine the logistics for these meetings.
Here is what we were thinking: - Come together as a community by hosting *Phoenix tech talks* once a month - The topics for these meetings can be any technical subject related to Phoenix, including the architecture, internals, features and interfaces of Phoenix, its operational aspects in the first party data centers and cloud, the technologies that it leverages (e.g., HBase and Zookeeper), and technologies it can possibly leverage, adapt or follow *Logistics*: - *When*: First Thursday of each month at 9AM PST - *Duration*: 90 minutes (to allow the audience to participate and ask questions) - We will conduct these meetings over a video conference and make the recordings available (we are sorting out the specifics) - The meeting agenda and past recordings will be available on the Apache Phoenix site We need a coordinator for these meetings to set the agenda and manage its logistics. I will volunteer to organize these meetings and curate the topics for the tech talks, at least initially. To get the ball rolling, I will present the strongly consistent global indexes in the first meeting. What do you think about this proposal? Thanks, Kadir
