Wanted: Community maintainer for Spring Cloud etcd

[spencergibb]

Looking for someone to maintain this project with goals for releases and potentially moving out of the incubator (Spring Cloud AWS is community maintained).

This person (or team or org) should commit to long term maintenance.

Initial work would be done via Pull Requests (PRs), but as we get more comfortable, commit rights will be given.

You might try emailing the etcd-dev list: https://github.com/coreos/etcd#contact

[spencergibb]

@philips thanks for the tip.

I'm in but I don't have any experience with this, but am sure I can get up to speed fast.

[spencergibb]

@rprakashg Thanks! I assume when you say "I don't have any experience with this", you mean maintaining an open source project. Not a problem. I go on holiday tomorrow until Jan 9. I try and put together some issues while I'm out that I see need updating and we can start with some PRs. They will be similar to many issues here.

[spencergibb]

And just because @rprakashg has volunteered, don't let that keep you from doing so as well. The more active maintainers, the better. I see at least two or three being a good number.

[rprakashg]

Yes @spencergibb sorry should have clarified that duh!

[spencergibb]

NP. Look forward to working with you.

[rprakashg]

Yep same here.

[amilarajans]

i'm a dev and i would like to contribute. ( i'm a noob for etcd )

[dragontree101]

hope spring-cloud-etcd support for etcd v3 :)

[spencergibb]

@dragontree101 that's for a different issue.

@amilarajans contributions are always welcome regardless of if you are a maintainer or not.

[amilarajans]

@spencergibb then looking forward to work with the team :)

[marcingasior]

@spencergibb I'd like to help as well.

[spencergibb]

@rprakashg @marcingasior I'm back from holiday. I didn't get a chance to add the issues. It's in my backlog.

[spencergibb]

I've added some issues today. Feel free to grab one. Please ask questions if there is clarification needed.

[rprakashg]

@spencergibb cool will check it out

[venilnoronha]

@spencergibb I'm willing to work on this! Where should I begin?

Hi @spencergibb, there is still interest and have a community maintainer for this project ? Best

[spencergibb]

Indeed there is

[heitorfm]

Do i start from the oldest or from newest issues ?

[spencergibb]

It's so out of date, I'm not sure what is valid anymore.

We need to start at #58

It's a big job and I won't have time to walk you thru things in the near term.

We chat on https://gitter.im/spring-cloud/spring-cloud

Hi, @spencergibb I have interest in contributing to this project and may be become maintainer if it's posible. As first try, implemented #58 (https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-cloud-etcd/pull/60) And i see next future tasks as - 1) made tests for discovery part (check every parameter, add aditional properties to discovery properties according to spring-cloud-consul) 2) move to jetcd (etcd v3 api library) 3) review and made tests for config submodule

[spencergibb]

@sudoHackIn that would be great. Let's start with pull requests as you have done. Not super concerned about a java 11 baseline as next year spring is adopting a java 17 baseline (older baseline will be supported for sometime)
