Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Oytun Tez]

I agree with Robert – localization (this is what we do at MotaWord) is a
maintenance work. If not maintained as well as mainstream, it will only
damage and distant devs that use those local websites.

Re: comments, I don't think people will really discuss furiously. But we at
least need a system where we understand the popularity of a package, it
helps to pick among similar packages if any. Something like the popularity
figure here that we can fetch from somewhere:
https://mvnrepository.com/popular

 Hey, Robert.

 I will keep an eye on the overall progress and get started on the blog
 post
 to make the community announcement. Are there (mid-term) plans to
 translate/localize this website as well? It might be a point worth
 mentioning in the blogpost.

 Hats off to you and Daryl — this turned out amazing!

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Thanks a lot Marta for offering to write a blog post about the community
site!

I'm not sure if multi-language support for the site is a good idea. I see
the packages site as something similar to GitHub or Jira. The page itself
contains very view things we could actually translate. The package owners
usually are only able to provide one or two languages for their package
description.
For the comments, we don't want disjoint discussions to happen.

I've also kicked off a discussion with Apache legal on the initiative [1].
We might not be able to host this at Apache, but let's see where the
discussion goes.

I agree with Marta that it might be good to have multi-language support as
a mid-term goal.

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Becket Qin]

The website is awesome! I really like its conciseness and yet fairly useful
information and functionalities. I cannot think of much to improve at the
moment. Just one thought, do we need an "others" category, just in case a
package does not fit into any of the current given categories?

Thanks Robert and Daryl for the great effort. Looking forward to seeing
this get published soon!!

I agree with Marta that

 Hey all,

 quick update on this project: The frontend and backend code have been
 put together into this repository:
 https://github.com/sorahn/flink-ecosystem
 We also just agreed on an API specification, and will now work on
 finishing the backend.

 It will probably take a few more weeks for this to finish, but we are
 making progress :)

 Hey Daryl,

 thanks a lot for posting a link to this first prototype on the mailing
 list! I really like it!

 Becket: Our plan forward is that Congxian is implementing the backend
 for the website. He has already started with the work, but needs at least
 one more week.

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Hey all,

Daryl and I have great news to share. We are about to finish adding the
basic features to the ecosystem page.
We are at a stage where it is ready to be reviewed and made public.

You can either check out a development instance of the ecosystem page here:
https://flink-ecosystem-demo.flink-resources.org/
Or you run it locally, with the instructions from the README.md:
https://github.com/sorahn/flink-ecosystem

Please report all issues you find here:
https://github.com/sorahn/flink-ecosystem/issues or in this thread.

The next steps in this project are the following:
- We fix all issues reported through this testing
- We set up the site on the INFRA resources Becket has secured [1], do some
further testing (including email notifications) and pre-fill the page with
some packages.
- We set up a packages.flink.apache.org or flink.apache.org/packages domain
- We announce the packages through a short blog post

Happy testing!

Best,
Robert

 Hi Daryl,

 Thanks a lot for the update. The site looks awesome! This is a great
 progress. I really like the conciseness of GUI.

 One minor suggestion is that for the same library, there might be
 multiple versions compatible with different Flink versions. It would be
 good to show that somewhere in the project page as it seems important to
 the users.

 BTW, will you share the plan to move forward? Would additional hands
 help?

 Thanks,

 Jiangjie (Becket) Qin

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Becket Qin]

Thanks for the update, Robert. Looking forward to the website. If there is
already a list of software we need to run the website, we can ask Apache
infra team to prepare the VM for us, as that may also take some time.

 This is a good idea. (Both the guise, and separate thread), I think
 once there is an actual packed in place we’ll be in a lot better position
 to discuss this.

 > The "Log in with Github" link doesn't seem to work yet. Will it only

 Correct, all the oauth stuff requires a real server. We are currently
 just faking everything.

 I will add a mock-login page (username/password that just accepts
 anything and displays whatever username you type in) so we can see the
 add-comment field and add-packages page once they exist.

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Hey all,

quick update on this project: The frontend and backend code have been put
together into this repository: https://github.com/sorahn/flink-ecosystem
We also just agreed on an API specification, and will now work on finishing
the backend.

It will probably take a few more weeks for this to finish, but we are
making progress :)

Best,
Robert

Thank you, all! If there are operational tasks about the ecosystem page(s),
let me know (organizing the content etc, whatever).

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Quick summary of our call:
Daryl will soon start with a front end, build against a very simple
mock-backend.
Congxian will start implementing the Spring-based backend early April.

As soon as the first prototype of the UI is ready, we'll share it here for
feedback.

[Robert Metzger]

Okay, great.

Congxian Qiu, Daryl and I have a kick-off call later today at 2pm CET, 9pm
China time about the design of the ecosystem page (see:
https://github.com/rmetzger/flink-community-tools/issues/4)
Please let me know if others want to join as well, I can add them to the
invite.

 Can you accept and review my proposal for the website?

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Becket Qin]

I agree. We can start with english-only and see how it goes. The comments
and descriptions can always be multi-lingual but that is up to the package
owners.

 That is awesome!

 I created a Jira ticket[1] to Apache Infra and got the reply. It looks
 that
 Apache infra team could provide a decent VM. The last piece is how to
 ensure the data is persisted so we won't lose the project info / user
 feedbacks when the VM is down. If Apache infra does not provide a
 persistent storage for DB backup, we can always ask for multiple VMs
 and do
 the fault tolerance by ourselves. It seems we can almost say the
 hardware
 side is also ready.

 Thanks,

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Thanks.

Do we actually want this page to be multi-language?

I propose to make the website english-only, but maybe consider allowing
comments in different languages.
If we would make it multi-language, then we might have problems with people
submitting packages in non-english languages.

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Nice, really good news on the INFRA front!
I think the hardware specs sound reasonable. And a periodic backup of the
website's database to Infra's backup solution sounds reasonable too.

Can you accept and review my proposal for the website?

That is awesome!

I created a Jira ticket[1] to Apache Infra and got the reply. It looks that
Apache infra team could provide a decent VM. The last piece is how to
ensure the data is persisted so we won't lose the project info / user
feedbacks when the VM is down. If Apache infra does not provide a
persistent storage for DB backup, we can always ask for multiple VMs and do
the fault tolerance by ourselves. It seems we can almost say the hardware
side is also ready.

Thanks,

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Thank you for reaching out to Infra and the ember client.
When I first saw the Ember repository, I thought it is the whole thing
(frontend and backend), but while testing it, I realized it is "only" the
frontend. I'm not sure if it makes sense to adjust the Ember observer
client, or just write a simple UI from scratch.
I have a very capable and motivated frontend developer who would be willing
to implement what I've mocked in my proposal.
In addition, I found somebody (Congxian Qiu) who seems to be eager to help
with this project for the backend:
https://github.com/rmetzger/flink-community-tools/issues/4

For Infra: I made the same experience when asking for more GitHub
permissions for "flinkbot": They didn't respond on their mailing list, only
on Jira.

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Becket Qin]

Thanks for writing up the specifications.

Regarding the website source code, Austin found a website[1] whose frontend
code[2] is available publicly. It lacks some support (e.g login), but it is
still a good starting point. One thing is that I did not find a License
statement for that source code. I'll reach out to the author to see if they
have any concern over our usage.

Apache Infra has not replied to my email regarding some details about the
VM. I'll open an infra Jira ticket tomorrow if there is still no response.

Thanks,

Jiangjie (Becket) Qin

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

@Bowen: I agree. Confluent Hub looks nicer, but it is on their company
website. I guess the likelihood that they give out code from their company
website is fairly low.
@Nils: Beam's page is similar to our Ecosystem page, which we'll reactivate
as part of this PR: https://github.com/apache/flink-web/pull/187

Spark-packages.org did not respond to my request.
I will propose a short specification in Becket's initial document.

Absolutely! Thanks for the pointer. I'll submit a PR to update the
ecosystem page and the navigation.

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Okay. I will reach out to spark-packages.org and see if they are willing to
share.

Do you want to raise a PR to update the ecosystem page (maybe sync with the
"Software Projects" listed here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Powered+by+Flink) and
link it in the navigation?

Best,
Robert

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Becket Qin]

Hi Robert,

I think it at least worths checking if spark-packages.org owners are
willing to share. Thanks for volunteering to write the requirement
descriptions! In any case, that will be very helpful.

Since a static page has almost no cost, and we will need it to redirect to
the dynamic site anyways, how about we first do that while working on the
dynamic website?

Thanks,

Jiangjie (Becket) Qin

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Ufuk Celebi]

I like Shaoxuan's idea to keep this a static site first. We could then
iterate on this and make it a dynamic thing. Of course, if we have the
resources in the community to quickly start with a dynamic site, I'm
not apposed.

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Robert Metzger]

Awesome! Thanks a lot for looking into this Becket! The VMs hosted by Infra
look suitable.

@Shaoxuan: There is actually already a static page. It used to be linked,
but has been removed from the navigation bar for some reason. This is the
page: https://flink.apache.org/ecosystem.html
We could update the page and add it back to the navigation bar for the
coming weeks. What do you think?

I would actually like to push for a dynamic page right away.

I know it's kind of a bold move, but how do you feel about sending the
owners of spark-packages.org a short note, if they are interested in
sharing the source? We could maintain the code together in a public repo.
If they are not interested in sharing, or we decide not to ask in the first
place, I'm happy to write down a short description of the requirements,
maybe some mockups. We could then see if we find somebody here in the
community who's willing to implement it.
Given the number of people who are eager to contribute, I believe we will
be able to find somebody pretty soon.

 Hey Becket,

 This is a great idea!
 For this to be successful, we need to make sure the page is placed
 prominently so that the people submitting something will get attention for
 their contributions.
 I think a dynamic site would probably be better, if we want features
 such as up and downvoting or comments.
 I would also like this to be hosted on Apache infra, and endorsed by
 the community.

 Does anybody here know any existing software that we could use?
 The only think I was able to find is AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/
 (which is a community packages site for Arch Linux. The source code of this
 portal is open source, but the layout and structure is not an ideal fit for
 our requirements)

 Best,
 Robert

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Becket Qin]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the feedback. These are good points. We should absolutely shoot
for a dynamic website to support more interactions in the community. There
might be a few things to solve:
1. The website code itself. An open source solution would be great. TBH, I
do not have much experience on building a website. It'll be great if
someone could help comment on the solution here.
2. The hardware to host the website. Apache Infra provides a few
services[1] that Apache projects can leverage. I did not see database
service, but maybe we can run a simple MySQL db in FreeBSD jail[2].

@Bowen & vino, thanks for the positive feedback!

@Shaoxuan Wang 
Thanks for the suggestion. That sounds reasonable to me. We probably need a
page in the Flink official site anyways, even just provide links it to the
ecosystem website. So listing the connectors in that static page seems
something we could start with while we are working on the dynamic pages.

Thanks,

Jiangjie (Becket) Qin

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

Hi Becket and Robert,

I like this idea!  Let us roll this out with Flink connectors at the first
beginning. We can start with a static page, and upgrade it when we find a
better solution for dynamic one with rich functions.

Shaoxuan

Re: [DISCUSS] Create a Flink ecosystem website

[Bowen Li]

Thanks for bring it up, Becket. That sounds very good to me. Spark also has
such a page for ecosystem project
https://spark.apache.org/third-party-projects.html and a hosted website
https://spark-packages.org/ with metadata, categories/tags and stats
mentioned in the doc.

Hey Becket,

This is a great idea!
For this to be successful, we need to make sure the page is placed
prominently so that the people submitting something will get attention for
their contributions.
I think a dynamic site would probably be better, if we want features such
as up and downvoting or comments.
I would also like this to be hosted on Apache infra, and endorsed by the
community.
