HI Joe, Thanks for your reply. Technically, that is what ALL mentors suppose to do. Wear different hats when representing as Apache member. But we all know that is not how it happens in reality. Most people nowadays get paid to do open source by day employer so like it or not some influence of t

Some more diversity among mentors would be nice, even though the mentors are all impeccable Apache members. The proposal template[1] says it is “useful” if that initial committers state their affiliations. I think it would be helpful here. Julian [1] http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal

One immediate concern is all mentors coming from Hortonworks. I would strongly suggest to find more balance mentors. I know we had this discussion about "fake" diversity stuff, but I strongly advise to do more effort to get mentors from different background than one company. - Henry On Tuesda

Hi Nick, One of our driving goals in open sourcing Pirk is to build and foster a diverse community around scalable, robust PIR. Although the initial committers of Pirk come from a limited set of entities, we are absolutely committed to recruiting and growing a diverse committing community. Thanks

Hi Shane, Great point. There are good public datasets available for testing and development purposes via AWS Public Data Sets (https://aws.amazon.com/datasets/), the US Open Data Initiative (http://catalog.data.gov/dataset), Kaggle's public datasets (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets), etc. Thanks

Certainly sounds like an interesting project. One thing to think about will be ensuring you can find sufficent datasets and testsets under appropriate licenses so any project participant can run tests against a realistic scenario. Joe Witt wrote on 6/7/16 11:25 AM: > Benjamin, > > The correct wa
