Thanks for your interest in the project. Here are my thoughts about the points raised.
>>> I'd like to hear from the PPMC how they plan to expand their dev >>> community. I expect us to attract more developers by increasing awareness. We have given presentations about the project internally (at least at Yahoo!) and externally. Some of the developers have written a paper about it and presented in 2010 (KDCloud) and we have proposed a talk for the next hadoop summit. Hopefully as developers hear more about the project they will feel compelled to join the community and contribute. We also expect to attract more attention once we have a release out (I believe we are close to cut a release). With a release, we can write a few blog posts about it and promote the project. Is there anything important I'm missing? >>> P.S. The metrics aren't really clear. What is "55 on dev" --- 55 unique >>> posters? 55 posts? Did they change by more than X% since last quarter? We don't have numbers from previous quarters. The only other number I have is 124 watchers on github. -Flavio On Mar 13, 2012, at 10:56 PM, Patrick Hunt wrote: > +s4-dev@ > > On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 6:48 AM, Daniel Shahaf <d...@daniel.shahaf.name> > wrote: >> Ping, waiting for a response from s4-dev@ folks. >> >> Daniel Shahaf wrote on Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 16:19:27 +0200: >>> Jukka Zitting wrote on Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 14:41:00 +0100: >>>> Just pick one from the list (ideally one that you aren't directly >>>> mentoring), read the submitted report (if one exists!) and compare it >>>> to the previous report (for most podlings that's the one from December >>>> [2]) and a quick browsing of things like the podling status page [3], >>>> web site, list archives and svn commit history.
