Discussion about new contributors, status of yas3fs

[bitsofinfo]

Hi all

@danilop, I was added as a contributor on this project along w/ @ewah a long while back but I am no longer able to effectively contribute, review PRs, or participate etc

I do however get notifications and notice a ton of issues being opened, outstanding PR's etc. I'd like to throw out the idea that @danilop add some additional users as contributors so this project does not end up dying due to lack of integrated PR's, releases and bugfixes etc.

There has not been a release in over a year

I'd suggest adding some folks who have contributed recent PRs, perhaps they would have interest?

I'd have to get this approved with my employer first (I work for AWS, but yas3fs is a purely personal interest), but assuming that goes through, I'd be glad to contribute here.

I'd be happy to help with the stewardship of the project.

[danilop]

This is a great idea! I am being slow even in just participating to this discussion.

Is everybody ok if I add this new 4 contributors?

@dacut @ruffle-b @Liath @bilts

[dacut]

Good by me. Thanks!

[bitsofinfo]

all for it +1

[dacut]

Did this take place? I did get approval on my end, so that should be squared away. Thanks, and happy new year!

[danilop]

I just added them - I think they need to accept:

@dacut @ruffle-b @Liath @bilts

Welcome to the project and shame on me for being so slow!

[dacut]

Got it now. Thanks!

It's great to see some fresh activity on this project!

It would be a huge shame if this project were to die. It has some killer features which just don't exist in alternative tools – e.g. multi-node awareness via SQS/SNS.

Thanks to all contributors past & present for their work on this.

Guys, we've got plenty of contributors but there're still opened PRs and issues. Any chances to get the PRs reviewed and merged at least? I completely agree with @ollietreend - the project is awesome and it's really pity it's not developing anymore.

[bitsofinfo]

I'd add u as a member but only @danilop can do that, and I don't have any time for this project.

Unless @danilop responds, you might just want to fork it along with other interested parties and create a new official version in another project, complete w/ releases, new builds etc.

[danilop]

Hi @jazzl0ver, thank you for your feedback! You are now a collaborator for this project.

[jazzl0ver]

Hi @danilop Thanks for the invitation!

@danilop what is the best way to update https://pypi.org/project/yas3fs/ ?
