Dear Apache Mesos Community, Development in Mesos has been active lately, with work taking place to enable things like hybrid cloud and network storage support, as well as improvements to the scheduler API designed to make the lives of framework developers easier.
Apache Mesos version 1.5 is just around the corner; we hope to cut the first release candidate (RC) within the next week, so keep your eyes peeled on the mailing lists! As always, your help testing this release during the RC phase is greatly appreciated. We've also scheduled our 2nd quarterly Doc-A-thon on January 11th, hosted at Mesosphere HQ in San Francisco! You'll be able to join remotely using Zoom, or in person. To see an event description and RSVP please visit the Meetup page <https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Mesos-User-Group/events/245293694/>. Last week I sat down with long-time Mesos committer Jie Yu to discuss the storage effort that he’s been leading. Find the interview on the Mesos Blog <http://mesos.apache.org/blog/>. And if you haven’t yet checked out Ben Mahler’s recent performance working group progress report, you can find it there as well! Going forward, we’ll endeavor to bring you monthly updates like this on the latest progress in the project. Next Month, we’ll celebrate the new release and go into detail on the exciting new features that made it in. If you have anything you'd like to share in the newsletter (blog posts, calls for contribution, announcements) please email me or join the community working group, which meets every other week on Monday at 10:30 am Pacific time using Zoom <https://zoom.us/j/274510516>. The next meeting will be on December 18th. Best, Greg
