Re: Apache AGE (Incubating) - Community Graduation Vote

2021-12-02 Thread Muhammad Usama
+1 from me along with a huge thanks and congrats to the whole Apache AGE
team.

I have been involved with PostgreSQL and related open source projects for
more than a decade,
and when I came across this Graph extension for PostgreSQL, it immediately
made me very
excited and encouraged to become a part of it.
I honestly believe that it is a wonderful idea with lots of potential and
very bright future ahead.
Although I am a bit of a silent member of the community since I joined, but
I have been closely
following the development and discussion and I think the project has come a
long way and
mature enough to graduate.

Thanks
Best regards
Muhammad Usama

Re: [DISCUSS] Committer Requirements

2022-01-11 Thread Muhammad Usama
I agree with most of the points mentioned above While in my opinion knowledge
of the code base and of the core concept of the product should be weighted
most among other requirements. Since the committer(s) has the
responsibility and authority to accept the code changes so it is very
important that the person has a complete understanding and knowledge of the
product and able to identify if the code/feature they are going to commit
would not break some seemingly unrelated feature or behavior. So IMHO an
ideal candidate would be the one who has good indepth knowledge of
PostgreSQL and Apache AGE, along with that an active contributor (either in
terms of code contributions, testing or discussions) to the community.

The reason I feel an overall understanding of the architecture is most
important is because, a few years back I was honored with the committer
responsibilities for Pgpool-II (https://www.pgpool.net) project. And what I
have learned during that period is most of the contributions the
community receives are of good code quality and solves the problem in hand,
the aspect that lacks  at times, especially from new contributors is the
understanding of how the piece of code they are contributing will affect
the overall product.

Muhammad Usama
