Hi Folks,
I just had an idea that I want to try now. The idea is to give little
HEADS-UP emails roughly at the beginning of each week. I would give a very
short summary of the big points that I want to work on for that week and if
others want to jump in they can also quickly outline what they are doing.

The reason I'm proposing this is that it can be hard to follow what is
going on in Flink. One could try and follow all the Jira issues and see who
is assigned to what but that would only give a rough indication. Currently,
people are working away on a new feature, sometimes for several weeks,
until they make a big code drop in a PR. I though it would be nice to know
roughly who's doing what. This would also give people the opportunity to
get involved in something if they find it interesting. If people find this
interesting I'll try and do this every week from now on.

Here goes my first heads-up: This (and the last weeks) week Stefan and I
have been working on the issues around
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3755. We were mostly
resurrecting an old PR from Till. Now we got it into good shape, we just
opened a big PR (https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2376) that introduces
API for key-groups and support in some layers. For the rest of the week,
we're planning to refactor the state backends to make them work with
key-group aware state.

Happy coding :-)
