Thanks Aaron for sending the details from the meeting that Sanjay
had arranged.
What meeting?
After we posted the design document, some HDFS contributors who participated in
the Jira reached out
to have a high bandwidth discussion to get clarification on the design document
in HDFS 1623.
Comments posted in the jira captured the feedback on the document.
An updated version of the document will incorporate the feedback.
Participants were suresh, kan, sanjay, jitendra, eli, todd, aaron m, dhruba,
dmytro.
The agenda for the last contributors's meeting included a presentation of the
HA design; unfortunately we ran out of time. I have requested a slot to present
the design at the next HUG.
It'd be nice if some of these discussions were held online, so that
those of us who don't live in the Bay Area can take part. Otherwise
there's the risk of partitioning the community, and the CAP theorem says
that's bad news. We end up inconsistent or not willing to participate in
the project (i.e. unavailable)
It also leads to situations that I've seen in other ASF projects where
one large organisation would make decisions, execute and announce before
anyone else knew what was going on.
I can offer some shared desktop tools to share slideware (works on
windows, Mac and Linux), but the voice side of that tends to go to
voice-conf. If we could use skype or google + conf calling (or similar),
that would give us the voice.
We could then hold intermittent RT meetings. There are still TZ issues;
in past standards work the conf time rolled between times that worked
well for EU, US and asia, such that two continents at a time could
participate
