Hi folks, Just to throw my hat into the ring on this subject: I recognize that I have been inactive from a contribution standpoint since Flume's introduction into the ASF incubator, but still follow Flume on the mailing lists and in other community meetups. I've done a bunch of work with Flume in the past, and I remain very interested in where Flume is going. Flume's direction is something important to me; but I have seldom weighed in, as I often felt that others were resolving things in a manner that did not require my input.
Unfortunately, my duties with my own startup have prevented me from taking a more direct role in the building of Flume for quite some time. I believe that there are ways in which it makes sense for WibiData to directly integrate with Flume in the future -- but time and resources are scarce at a startup, so this has not been something I've yet demonstrated externally in front of the incubator community. I look forward to a time in the future when my duties are rearranged once again, and I can devote more of my time back to hacking than I do now :) (The one constant at a startup, after all, is change.) Regards, - Aaron Kimball PS -- My affiliation should be updated to "WibiData"; we changed the company name from Odiago to WibiData recently.
