(Reply-to set to common-dev@) With over 900 patches not yet reviewed and approved for Apache Hadoop, it's time to make some strong progress on the bug list!
A number of Apache Hadoop committers and Hadoop-related tech companies are hosting an Apache Hadoop Community event on Friday, May 8th, after HBaseCon 2015. You are hereby invited for a fun, daylong event devoted to identifying and registering important patches and cleaning up the queue. Bring your own computing power. We hope to see you there! How to Get Involved For this first event, we are primarily targeting individuals with some experience either working with Hadoop or working with large, open source projects. In order to hit the ground running on that day, it is recommended some pre-work be done first: 1. Have or create an account on https://issues.apache.org/jira/. 2. Be familiar with the instructions on https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute. 3. Have a working development and test environment. See BUILDING.txt for requirements as well as how to execute a script to create a Docker image that has all of the components. 4. Register with https://www.eventbrite.com/e/apache-hadoop-global-bug-bash-tickets-16507188445 5. Hang out on the #hadoop channel on irc.freenode.net . As we get closer to the day, we’ll posting more procedural-type instructions and updates at https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/2015MayBugBash . Thanks everyone!
