Airbnb Recap
-
[Paul] Airbnb is continuing work on features related to migrating
more jobs onto Airflow - DB connection scalability, impersonation,
refreshing web UI, DAG git versioning, task resource isolation
-
Other Recaps
-
[Chris] Improvements to Import functionality. Joy did some work
around CLIs and mark success in collaboration with Bolke.
-
[Jeremiah] Came up with the Merge tool. Focusing on the work around
configuration.
-
Meeting cadence
-
[Max] We can have monthly meetings. Let’s start with monthly we can
change the cadence. We should invite all contributors. We should
specify in
the invite that everyone is welcome. Currently posting this on
the mailing
list and wiki.
-
*Action Item* Gurer to schedule monthly meetings next one at Airbnb.
Airbnb is welcoming folks to come onsite
-
Blog/Documentation
-
[Max, Chris, Jeremiah] Having a blog would be useful. We can
structure our thoughts.
-
[Andrew] Blog should have better language with screenshots and all.
This raises the level of effort bar and this might mean that
nobody really
does it.
-
[Max] Maybe use Medium? We can try it out.
-
[Max] Haven’t looked at the documentation for a long time. I don’t
really know about its quality.
-
[Arthur] Looking at the email list responses, seems like the
documentation is missing certain elements.
-
[Max] Maybe we can interview people who just started and identify
gaps.
-
*Action Item* [Jeremiah] We can also ask the mailing list about this.
He will send this out.
-
Cooperation guidelines
-
[Max, Arthur]
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/Community+Guidelines
-
[Chris] Let’s link the guidelines to contributor md . This should be
discoverable
-
Release
-
[Chris, Max] Bolke might have branch with High charts and Licensing
cherry picked. We can use this as a dry run. We can test the process.
-
[Max] Big release is probably around September.
-
[Andrew] If we want to have a true practice, we need to be diligently
following Apache guidelines.
-
[Max] We might want to revive the email thread about how we should do
this.
-
[Chris] It would be great for someone who hasn’t done this before to
do this.
-
[Andrew] Building a script for this is smart otherwise the manual
work is painful from experience.

-
*Action Item* [Max] Max will own this. This will happen by 08/19.
-
[Arthur] For the main release around mid September. We need to
confirm this date.
-
Roadmap
-
[Max] Maybe each company puts their own section? Or should we have a
more cohesive roadmap?
-
*Action Item* Gurer to schedule a roadmap discussion
-
Misc
-
[Max] For executor thinking about sticking with Celery and maybe
having Docker implemented on top of it.
-
[Max] We might want to explore Sphinx for generating documentation
from code.
- [Max] Please review the impersonation design review. This is pretty
simple and reversible.
