Dear contributors of the Sqoop community. Subsequent to earlier discussions we had, please see the following that describes the approach for Sqoop contributor meetings.
I am proposing the following for a vote. Please vote on this. The voting will run for 7 days and will end on EOD Mar 14, 2015. Venkat Ranganathan and Jarek Jarcec Cecho (Sqoop PMC Members)? === Sqoop contributor meetings: Goal : Foster faster contributions and easier discussions. Reasoning: We've seen regular contributors meetups quite helpful in order communities (Hive, Parquet to name a few), so we would like to try them out in Sqoop as well. Frequency: The proposal is to meet roughly once in 4 weeks. Duration of each meeting: 60-120 minutes Meeting Place: We'll host Google hangout, so that everyone can join. We will also look at hosting these events in companies so that contributors can get to know each other and enjoy some drinks and food also! Meeting topics: Contributors can send the topics of interest to the mailing list. It may be as simple as a JIRA ticket id or some presentation about usage/experience. Topics for the meetings will be selected and agenda sent out at least 3 days before the meetings There can be ad-hoc topics for discussions if there is enough time. Followup: Minutes and action items will be captured and sent to the mailing list. ===
