+<title>Flink Community Update - September&#39;19</title>
+<description>&lt;p&gt;This has been an exciting, fast-paced year for the 
Apache Flink community. But with over 10k messages across the mailing lists, 3k 
Jira tickets and 2k pull requests, it is not easy to keep up with the latest 
state of the project. Plus everything happening around it. With that in mind, 
we want to bring back regular community updates to the Flink blog.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The first post in the series takes you on an little detour across the 
year, to freshen up and make sure you’re all up to date.&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;h1 id=&quot;the-year-so-far-in-flink&quot;&gt;The Year (so far) in 
Flink&lt;/h1&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Two major versions were released this year: &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://flink.apache.org/news/2019/04/09/release-1.8.0.html&quot;&gt;Flink
 1.8&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://flink.apache.org/news/2019/08/22/release-1.9.0.html&quot;&gt;Flink
 1.9&lt;/a&gt;; paving the way for the goal of making Flink the first framework 
to seamlessly support stream and batch processing with a single, unified 
runtime. The &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://flink.apache.org/news/2019/02/13/unified-batch- [...]
+
+&lt;p&gt;The 1.9 release was the result of the &lt;strong&gt;biggest community 
effort the project has experienced so far&lt;/strong&gt;, with the number of 
contributors soaring to 190 (see &lt;a 
href=&quot;#the-bigger-picture&quot;&gt;The Bigger Picture&lt;/a&gt;). For a 
quick overview of the upcoming work for Flink 1.10 (and beyond), have a look at 
the updated &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://flink.apache.org/roadmap.html&quot;&gt;roadmap&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 
id=&quot;integration-of-the-chinese-speaking-community&quot;&gt;Integration of 
the Chinese-speaking community&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As the number of Chinese-speaking Flink users rapidly grows, the 
community is working on translating resources and creating dedicated spaces for 
discussion to invite and include these users in the wider Flink community. Part 
of the ongoing work is described in &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-35%3A+Support+Chinese+Documents+and+Website&quot;&gt;FLIP-35&lt;/a&gt;
 and has resulted in:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;A new user mailing list (user-zh@f.a.o) dedicated to 
Chinese-speakers.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;A Chinese translation of the Apache Flink &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://flink.apache.org/zh/&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/zh/&quot;&gt;documentation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Multiple meetups organized all over China, with the biggest one 
reaching a whopping number of 500+ participants. Some of these meetups were 
also organized in collaboration with communities from other projects, like 
Apache Pulsar and Apache Kafka.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;center&gt;

+&lt;/center&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In case you’re interested in knowing more about this work in 
progress, Robert Metzger and Fabian Hueske will be diving into “Inviting Apache 
Flink’s Chinese User Community” at the upcoming ApacheCon Europe 2019 (see 
&lt;a href=&quot;#upcoming-flink-community-events&quot;&gt;Upcoming Flink 
Community Events&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 id=&quot;flink-documentation-20&quot;&gt;Flink Documentation 
2.0&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Besides the translation effort, the community has also been working 
quite hard on a &lt;strong&gt;Flink docs overhaul&lt;/strong&gt;. The main 
goals are to:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Organize and clean-up the structure of the docs;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Align the content with the overall direction of the 
project;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Improve the &lt;em&gt;getting-started&lt;/em&gt; material and make 
the content more accessible to different levels of Flink experience.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Given that there has been some confusion in the past regarding 
unclear definition of core Flink concepts, one of the first completed efforts 
was to introduce a &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.9/concepts/glossary.html#glossary&quot;&gt;Glossary&lt;/a&gt;
 in the docs. To get up to speed with the roadmap for the remainder efforts, 
you can refer to &lt;a

+&lt;h2 
id=&quot;improvement-of-the-contribution-process-and-experience&quot;&gt;Improvement

+
+&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://flink.apache.org/contributing/how-to-contribute.html&quot;&gt;guidelines&lt;/a&gt;
 to contribute to Apache Flink have been reworked on the website, in an effort 
to lower the entry barrier for new contributors and reduce the overall friction 
in the contribution process. In addition, the Flink community discussed and 
adopted &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120731026&quot;&gt;bylaws&lt;/a&gt;
 to help the [...]
+
+&lt;p&gt;For code contributors, a &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://flink.apache.org/contributing/code-style-and-quality-preamble.html&quot;&gt;Code
 Style and Quality Guide&lt;/a&gt; that captures the expected standards for 
contributions was also added to the “Contributing” section of the Flink 
website.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It’s important to stress that &lt;strong&gt;contributions are not 
restricted to code&lt;/strong&gt;. Non-code contributions such as mailing list 
support, documentation work or organization of community events are equally as 
important to the development of the project and highly encouraged.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 id=&quot;new-committers-and-pmc-members&quot;&gt;New Committers and PMC 
Members&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The Apache Flink community has welcomed &lt;strong&gt;5 new 
Committers&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;4 PMC (Project Management 
Committee) Members&lt;/strong&gt; in 2019, so far:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id=&quot;new-pmc-members&quot;&gt;New PMC Members&lt;/h3&gt;

Hequn, Jiangjie (Becket) Qin, Rong Rong, Zhijiang Wang
+&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Congratulations and thank you for your hardworking commitment to 
Flink!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h1 id=&quot;the-bigger-picture&quot;&gt;The Bigger Picture&lt;/h1&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Flink continues to push the boundaries of (stream) data processing, 
and the community is proud to see an ever-increasingly diverse set of 
contributors, users and technologies join the ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In the timeframe of three releases, the project jumped from 
&lt;strong&gt;112 to 190 contributors&lt;/strong&gt;, also doubling down on the 
number of requested changes and improvements. To top it off, the Flink GitHub 
repository recently reached the milestone of &lt;strong&gt;10k 
stars&lt;/strong&gt;, all the way up from the incubation days in 2014.&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;p&gt;The activity across the user@ and dev@&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; 
mailing lists shows a healthy heartbeat, and the gradual ramp up of user-zh@ 
suggests that this was a well-received community effort. Looking at the numbers 
for the same period in 2018, the dev@ mailing list has seen the biggest surge 
in activity, with an average growth of &lt;strong&gt;2.5x in the number of 
messages and distinct users&lt;/strong&gt; — a great reflection of the 
hyperactive pace of development of the  [...]

+
+&lt;p&gt;In support of these observations, the report for the financial year 
of 2019 from the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) features Flink as one of the 
most thriving open source projects, with mentions for:&lt;/p&gt;

+
+<p>This has been an exciting, fast-paced year for the Apache Flink community. 
But with over 10k messages across the mailing lists, 3k Jira tickets and 2k 
pull requests, it is not easy to keep up with the latest state of the project. 
Plus everything happening around it. With that in mind, we want to bring back 
regular community updates to the Flink blog.</p>
+
+<p>The first post in the series takes you on an little detour across the year, 
to freshen up and make sure you’re all up to date.</p>

+
+<p>Two major versions were released this year: <a 
href="https://flink.apache.org/news/2019/04/09/release-1.8.0.html";>Flink 
1.8</a> and <a 
href="https://flink.apache.org/news/2019/08/22/release-1.9.0.html";>Flink 
1.9</a>; paving the way for the goal of making Flink the first framework to 
seamlessly support stream and batch processing with a single, unified runtime. 
The <a 
href="https://flink.apache.org/news/2019/02/13/unified-batch-streaming-blink.html";>contribution
 of Blink</a> to Apache  [...]
+
+<p>The 1.9 release was the result of the <strong>biggest community effort the 
project has experienced so far</strong>, with the number of contributors 
soaring to 190 (see <a href="#the-bigger-picture">The Bigger Picture</a>). For 
a quick overview of the upcoming work for Flink 1.10 (and beyond), have a look 
at the updated <a href="https://flink.apache.org/roadmap.html";>roadmap</a>!</p>
+
+<h2 id="integration-of-the-chinese-speaking-community">Integration of the 
Chinese-speaking community</h2>
+
+<p>As the number of Chinese-speaking Flink users rapidly grows, the community 
is working on translating resources and creating dedicated spaces for 
discussion to invite and include these users in the wider Flink community. Part 
of the ongoing work is described in <a 
href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-35%3A+Support+Chinese+Documents+and+Website";>FLIP-35</a>
 and has resulted in:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>A new user mailing list (user-zh@f.a.o) dedicated to 
Chinese-speakers.</li>
+</ul>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+  <li>A Chinese translation of the Apache Flink <a 
href="https://flink.apache.org/zh/";>website</a> and <a 
href="https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/zh/";>documentation</a>.</li>
+</ul>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Multiple meetups organized all over China, with the biggest one reaching 
a whopping number of 500+ participants. Some of these meetups were also 
organized in collaboration with communities from other projects, like Apache 
Pulsar and Apache Kafka.</li>

+<p>In case you’re interested in knowing more about this work in progress, 
Robert Metzger and Fabian Hueske will be diving into “Inviting Apache Flink’s 
Chinese User Community” at the upcoming ApacheCon Europe 2019 (see <a

Events</a>).</p>
+
+<h2 id="improving-flinks-documentation">Improving Flink’s Documentation</h2>
+
+<p>Besides the translation effort, the community has also been working quite 
hard on a <strong>Flink docs overhaul</strong>. The main goals are to:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Organize and clean-up the structure of the docs;</li>
+</ul>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Align the content with the overall direction of the project;</li>
+</ul>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Improve the <em>getting-started</em> material and make the content more 
accessible to different levels of Flink experience.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Given that there has been some confusion in the past regarding unclear 
definition of core Flink concepts, one of the first completed efforts was to 
introduce a <a 
href="https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.9/concepts/glossary.html#glossary";>Glossary</a>
 in the docs. To get up to speed with the roadmap for the remainder efforts,

 to contribute to Apache Flink have been reworked on the website, in an effort 
to lower the entry barrier for new contributors and reduce the overall friction 
in the contribution process. In addition, the Flink community discussed and 
adopted <a 
href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120731026";>bylaws</a>
 to help the community collaborate and coordinate more smoothly.</p>
+
+<p>For code contributors, a <a 
href="https://flink.apache.org/contributing/code-style-and-quality-preamble.html";>Code
 Style and Quality Guide</a> that captures the expected standards for 
contributions was also added to the “Contributing” section of the Flink 
website.</p>
+
+<p>It’s important to stress that <strong>contributions are not restricted to 
code</strong>. Non-code contributions such as mailing list support, 
documentation work or organization of community events are equally as important 
to the development of the project and highly encouraged.</p>

+
+<p>The Apache Flink community has welcomed <strong>5 new Committers</strong> 
and <strong>4 PMC (Project Management Committee) Members</strong> in 2019, so 
far:</p>

+
+<p>Flink continues to push the boundaries of (stream) data processing, and the 
community is proud to see an ever-increasingly diverse set of contributors, 
users and technologies join the ecosystem.</p>
+
+<p>In the timeframe of three releases, the project jumped from <strong>112 to 
190 contributors</strong>, also doubling down on the number of requested 
changes and improvements. To top it off, the Flink GitHub repository recently 
reached the milestone of <strong>10k stars</strong>, all the way up from the 
incubation days in 2014.</p>

+
+<p>The activity across the user@ and dev@<sup>1</sup> mailing lists shows a 
healthy heartbeat, and the gradual ramp up of user-zh@ suggests that this was a 
well-received community effort. Looking at the numbers for the same period in 
2018, the dev@ mailing list has seen the biggest surge in activity, with an 
average growth of <strong>2.5x in the number of messages and distinct 
users</strong> — a great reflection of the hyperactive pace of development of 
the Flink codebase.</p>
