Hi folks,
There are ~6,000 Hadoop JIRA issues that have gone unaddressed,
including ~900 with patches waiting to be reviewed. Among other things, this
lack of attention to our backlog is making the Hadoop project very unfriendly
to contributors--which is ultimately very unhealthy for the project.
In hopes of resetting our community habits a bit, a bunch of us are
organizing a "bug bash" of sorts on Friday May 8th, the day after HBase Con.
We're thinking about holding an in-person event someplace in the San Francisco
Bay Area... but we definitely want this to be a virtual event for participants
around the world!
As details form, we'll let you know. But we wanted to send an initial
notice so you can save the date, and also share your ideas on how we can make
this event successful.
Thanks!
