Re: [DISCUSS] Pirk Incubation Proposal

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

Re: [DISCUSS] Pirk Incubation Proposal

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]

Re: [DISCUSS] Pirk Incubation Proposal

Henry I totally understand the spirit of your statement but I want to be clear in speaking for my own involvement here. I am participating in this proposal and proposed podling as an apache member. That I happen to work for hortonworks has absolutely nothing to do with it and frankly I wish it

Re: [DISCUSS] Pirk Incubation 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

Re: [DISCUSS] Pirk Incubation Proposal

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.

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.

Re: [DISCUSS] Pirk Incubation Proposal

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

Nope. It was just a concern, but if others don't feel it is, no worries. Just wanted to raise it before it became one later. Cheers, Benjamin -Original Message- From: Joe Witt [mailto:joe.w...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 7, 2016 11:26 AM To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re:

Benjamin, Definitely good to get solid discussion going on naming early. Curious to understand more of your perspective on what could be potentially offensive about Pirk. Thanks Joe On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 10:50 AM, Benjamin Young wrote: > Looks like a great project! > >

RE: [DISCUSS] Pirk Incubation Proposal

Looks like a great project! I'd like to propose (early!) that you consider changing the name from Pirk, however. It's too close to things that could easily be offensive or misunderstood. My personal recommendation would be "Piranha" http://www.morewords.com/ has several more options if you
