Notes from yesterdays sync call:
Uwe suggested adding in checks for the C++ ABI to detect breaking
changes. Discussed adding this to a CI build job daily.
Wes asked if certain C++ symbols could be marked experimental when
performing the C++ ABI checks.
Uwe also mentioned the potential of using PIMPLs to hide pointers and
implementation to prevent future C++ ABI breakage. He mentioned Parquet
C++ has a similar setup.
Discussion around having all build artifacts and testing ready for
automation in relationship to the release of 0.10.0
Wes mentioned that the C++ and Java implementation threads around Unions
has gone stale, but should be completed before the 1.0 release.
It was mentioned that integration test should cover schema and field
metadata.
Discussion around upcoming Man AHL hackathon and PyCon sprints.
* JIRA tickets have been updated by Uwe with extra details and notes
* Some tickets have been marked with beginner tags
* Suggested to use conda to make the environment setup/build process
easier for new contributors
* Pandas extension series mentioned as a potentially good
hackathon/sprint topic
Mention of revisiting Arrow roadmap discussions to potentially break the
roadmap into smaller JIRA tickets for contributors.
