Discussion:

• Talked about the switch to GitHub/Gitbox, now GitHub is the primary repo,
  we talked about how to enable GitHub integration with Apache ID of committers and the private team of bookkeeper committers on GitHub
• Discussion about creating PR + issues:
  • Enrico: it is not very user-friend
  • Flavio: we should have issues in order to have a clear change log, we need a standard way to track the origin of the issue
  • There is general consensus about having PR  + issues
  • Flavio suggests to have design discussions on the issue and leave comments on the PRs
• Release 4.5.0:
  • Missing some performance improvements from Yahoo, some API issue to be merged in 4.5 and then we can postpone other improvement to 4.6
  • Most of the feature from Salesforce are in
  • Enrico wants to add runtime minimal support for Java9 for 4.5
  • Need to wait for patches from Twitter branch in order to support DistributedLog
• Release management: Flavio suggests:
  • Release manager should go to JIRA and mark blockers issue in JIRA/GitHub for the release
  • We need to start a discussion on the mailing list in order to decide the release manager and start the process
• Process to avoid duplication: Let's use the BookKeeper Proposal
• Web end point:
  
  • Salesforce is using a REST/http endpoint to pull configs
  • Matteo says Prometheus already exposes an HTTP endpoint
  • Dustin from SF will see Twitter PRs
  • Matteo says it would be better to have some HttpServlet to deploy on the preferred container, Enrico agrees
  • Flavio remarks it is better not to introduce third party dependencies without reasons
• We will discuss how to merge current ready pull requests on the mailing list, we want not to rebase every patch
