Matt, I don't want to sound too old school but I not sure the use of slack is a good idea: At least one ASF project that has decided to move away from Gitter: https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@airflow.incubator.apache.org/msg00901.html Apparently there are issues around accessibility:

Hi Russell, The “flow” (the processors on the canvas and the relationships between them) is stored on disk as /conf/flow.xml.gz [1]. You can also export selections from the flow as “templates” [2], along with a name and description, which can then be saved as XML files and loaded into a new

ASF's chat bot has the ability to automatically record conversations and mail them to a list. As long as you remember to turn it on before starting the conversation (wink), it's not too bad. http://www.apache.org/dev/asfbot.html#meetings Bryan Bende wrote: My only concern with any kind of

Thanks, Joe. I've digested the document you linked. I think my real question is simpler. I don't think I'm interested in hacking NiFi's internal details. I assumed that once I "paint" my canvas with processors and relationships, it's harvestable in some form, in some /.xml/ file somewhere,

In my opinion, Bryan brings up early a huge point given the paucity of NiFi documentation, discussion and samples out there in Googleland. It would be a big loss not to have questions and answers show up in searches. On 10/10/2016 12:46 PM, Bryan Bende wrote: My only concern with any kind of

My only concern with any kind of chat/channel is the loss of searchable public content. Right now the mailing list posts show up in Google searches and can be found through other various tools, which is valuable for people searching for information related to an issue they are seeing. If people

Good evening, I am a new member to the community so I do not know much about the current needs. Still I'd like to point at gitter.im which has an open-sourced IRC bridge ( https://irc.gitter.im/) for the heavy IRC users. Overall imho a good Slack alternative, its aim is to provide chatrooms for

All, I'd like to revisit the idea of having (and promoting) a Slack team for the Apache NiFi community. We broached the subject in an email thread a while back [1]. The email lists are great and IRC per se is still popular in the open-source community, but I think for folks that are more

I feel that Oleg was really close, and it would be nice for this to be in 0.7.1 but it isn't necessary. I did functional testing on the current state of the PR and I am +1 in that respect. -- Mike On Oct 10, 2016 9:40 AM, "Tony Kurc" wrote: > So in reviewing the Jiras, it

Russ, For reliable integration testing I'd recommend having a mocked implementation of the process session. Not sure how easy we make that right now but that would be better than trying to rely on internal details of any given implementation. For general understanding of the under the covers
