I agree with Ted that these minor issues can be ironed out especially if the community is open to constructive criticism as these folks are. IMHO the health of the community is much more important than minor insignificant shortcomings. Social development is changing many things and causing incongruities in the way we're used to working: we need to adapt to them instead of penalizing podlings. Many projects even years after graduation stumble occasionally but eventually find their way.
With that said I also hope some of the mentors continue on with the community's PMC after graduation. +1 (binding) -Alex On Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 9:08 AM, Andrew Hart <ah...@apache.org> wrote: > +1 (binding) > > --Andrew > > On 2/6/14 10:51 PM, Sebastian Schelter wrote: > >> +1 (binding) >> >> Fully agree with Ted's view on the Spark community. >> >> On 02/07/2014 06:32 AM, Ted Dunning wrote: >> >>> +1 (binding) >>> >>> These wrinkles are not as big as they appear.
