Folks, Now that we're past feature freeze for 1.5, I'd like to set up a discussion of the features that Accumulo developers are interested in for 1.6 and beyond. The purpose of this discussion will be to raise awareness of projects that you think are cool and important, and to rally the community. As a proposed format, let's plan on a series of 2-5 minute presentations of individual features -- what it is, why it's important, how should we build it, and who needs to help. We'll record the presentations for posterity.
Since the community is now distributed throughout several states, let's try our hand at an online discussion. Depending on participation, we'll pick a forum that can accomodate everyone. If you're interested in attending, please fill out this doodle with what time you would be available: http://www.doodle.com/w9zb77ya3ykxr4zv If you can, please try to fill out the survey by Tuesday afternoon. After we get a good feel for times and participation, I'll schedule an online forum and send out a meeting invitation. If you would like to present a feature, send me an email directly at [email protected], and I'll make sure you get time to present it. I look forward to seeing what everyone has up their sleeves! Cheers, Adam
