Hi! As was discussed on GIRAPH-285 it seems to be right time to think about the release. It seems like Avery has agreed to be an official RM and I'm volunteering for an RM sidekick role ;-)
My plan is pretty simple: I would like to start with JIRA triaging, figure out which ones folks consider to be blockers for 0.2 and then help Avery curate the release branch. I am also volunteering to test RCs with Hadoop 2.0.2-alpha (as part of the Bigtop 0.5.0) and also do some limited testing with Hadoop 1.1.0 and CDH3/4 If this sounds like a good plan, here's a couple of areas where help would still be appreciated: * if you can test RCs with different versions of Hadoop -- please let me know. In fact, my most rigorous testing (to the extent it can be called that way) will be focused on Hadoop 2.0.2-alpha * JIRA triage -- we've got 17 issues tagged with 0.2 http://s.apache.org/qH and 22 issues that are assigned to folks, but not to the 0.2 release: http://s.apache.org/zE If you are an issue owner please let me know whether yours could be considered a blocker for 0.2 Thanks, Roman.
