Subject: [DISCUSS] Opportunities to contribute

Geode community,

I want to inform you of some upcoming changes and opportunities. If you have 
been thinking about contributing to the Geode project, this is a great time to 
jump in and get started.

Many of us in the Geode community are employed by VMware. While each of us 
participates and earns merit as individuals (following the Apache Way), VMware 
has decided to focus its efforts on the commercial GemFire product. Practically 
speaking, this means that many of the most active members of the Geode 
community will be much less involved going forward.

As with any change, this leads to new opportunities. Here are some ways you can 
contribute:

• Contributing and reviewing code, documentation, or examples
• Learning, improving, and operating CI pipelines
• Participating as a Release Manager for v1.15.1
• Becoming a Committer or PMC member based on project contributions
• Publishing educational content such as blogs, videos, or conference 
talks
• Answering questions on the dev list and internet forums like 
StackOverflow
• Updating the WIKI or JIRA 

Note that Apache considers contributions in ALL forms as earning merit as a 
committer. You don’t need to be an expert on Partitioned Region replication 
code to become a committer. 

VMware remains a strong proponent of open source software and the Apache 
Software Foundation. VMware is committed to actively supporting an orderly and 
responsible transition to enable other members of the community to take the 
project forward. 

I know many of you have contributed greatly from the early days of incubation, 
through graduation, and all the releases up until now. I want to personally 
thank you for those efforts whether in documentation, bug reports, websites, 
discussions, feature proposals, or code submissions.

Please let me know your thoughts on this change and any ideas you have. If you 
would like to contribute, please shout out and ask questions! There are many 
people ready to provide mentoring and answer questions.

Thanks,

Hi all,

 

We need to ship a new Geode 1.15.1 patch to fix a few issues. Part of the Geode 
and ASF release process is identify a Release Manager to collect the changes, 
prepare a release candidate, and publish the release binaries. The good news 
is, we have a well-vetted set of scripts and instructions [1] to automate this 
and make it super easy for first timers to go through the process.

 

Anyone want to volunteer? We would like to start this process next week (Sept 
6).

 

Thanks,

Anthony

Thanks Rupert!  Since Rupert is not a committer, is anyone available to help 
him learn the ropes?

Anthony

Re: Release manager for 1.15.1?

[Alexander Murmann]

Hi Rupert and Anthony,

Thanks for your initiative, Rupert! It’s great to see community members step up 
like this. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to help with the release 
without being a committer or ideally a PMC member, since the vast majority of 
steps require committer credentials. This means that at best you’d be able to 
learn for future releases by watching someone else do the tasks. I encourage 
you to keep contributing and seek becoming a committer or even PMC member at 
which point it’s gonna be fabulous to have you step up as a release manager.

Sorry to deliver the disappointing news. Does that make sense?

Do we have a committer, or better PMC member, who is willing to help out as 
release manager for Geode 1.15.1?
