GitHub service disruption

Hello, FYI, GitHub is currently having a service disruption which results in their databases not acting consistent. For me, this impaired creating issues and pull requests - they have been created with a proper ID, but they are not available with a subsequent request. This might also impair the

I want to clarify that this would not prevent Amazon contributors from being nominated. Nor it would prevent collaboration between Amazon employees. A good thing about Apache is that everything is recorded and presented to the entire community, this includes the dev list, github review/commit

Hey Sergio, I think it's mostly to keep the Dockerfile size down by matching the system python package. Of course people can extend the image and use python 3.6 / 3.7. I think we should follow this up with an update to the new Ubuntu LTS version as a base docker image at which point it would use

-1. I dont see the need for additional level of hierarchy. I totally am for recognizing good code reviewers. We can recognize this by making them committers. Being a good reviewer should be sufficient to become a committer in my opinion. (Assuming that there is a seperation between PPMC and

I think your last word you meant "reviewers", right? yeah, this was also my understanding. A new "below-committer" level called "reviewer". So 3 levels now... On Mon, Oct 22, 2018 at 3:50 PM Tianqi Chen wrote: > To be clear, we are not splitting the committers into reviewers, we are >

The situation most projects are facing(including us), is lack of code reviews. Code reviews are the most important part of the project, and high-quality reviews are extremely time-consuming, maybe as much as so as the code itself. Usually, it is only committers do the code reviews, the code

Are there any other major Apache projects which have this designation? I am always continually suspicious of efforts to reinvent Apache rules from other non-Apache projects, when Apache projects have historically been quite successful within the Apache platform. In fact, operating outside of
