Super proud to be listed as one of the contributors to the release of Apache Flink 1.18 -- flink.apache.org/2023/10/24/a...
Also, very impressed that Flink goes out of their way to acknowledge every contributor, no matter how (in my case) trivial the contribution.

I have a serious email hoarding problem. I have deleted more than 100,000 email messages so far today while attending a view-only meeting. And I still have almost 50gb of email remaining.

After being involved in open source community for 25 years and writing about for almost as long I'm finally reading @jonobacon.bsky.social 's "art of community." It's interesting so far.
I also recommend Charles Vogl's "Art of community." Same title. Different book.

I'm looking forward to Airflow Summit in a little more than a week. I'll be talking about how to talk to your manager about open source - airflowsummit.org/sessions/202... - but mostly I'm looking forward to the conversations. Hope to see you there.

When I read an article like this I always, always wonder whether the people involved see the irony or if they are really this stupid.

Just got done with a "dress rehearsal" of a presentation I'll be giving in a few weeks.
I've been public speaking for 25 years, and I still get stage fright and sweats every single time I am on stage - even when it's just in front of my laptop camera.
