Hey all, I will not be able to Mentor this time.
But we should make sure that all people who want to mentor should at least have signed a Apache iCLA, being an active committer for the project so we prevent conditions like with GSoC. Right now we have a load of contributions that can only be pulled by current committers and this leads to doubling the effort of reviewing the already reviewed work. Cheers Markus .::Yagni likes a DRY KISS::. On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 10:54 AM Ed Cable <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks.
