I think we are on the same page here about working hard to build the community. We need to work hard to make the community grow. I was merely saying that how that effort converts into adoption is not something that can be predicted. I hope that clarifies. Always looking for guidance to make the most out of our efforts at community building and ways we can improve.
I hope the information provided in this thread helps display that we are working hard and committed to building a vibrant Apache Tez community.

Community doesn't just happen. Community doesn't just grow of its own accord. Community grows when people make serious, explicit actions to help it grow, to bring in newcomers, to publish plans in many places *before* code is written. Building community is hard work that you have to intend to do. If you don't do the work, it won't just happen any more than code writes itself. -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
