accumulo summit 2014 keynote: the accumulo community
DESCRIPTION
Speakers: Sean Busbey, Josh Elser Apache Accumulo is more than just open source licensed code, it’s a community focused on providing public good. This emphasis on community over code is a major tenet of The Apache Way. In this talk Josh Elser and Sean Busbey discuss how the project has grown and matured. Our community is bigger and better organized than it’s ever been. Come hear how these community gains have spurred not only improvements in our own codebase but also our integration with other projects.TRANSCRIPT
