[[!meta title="Gluster FOSS development is awesome"]]
|
|
|
|
## TL; DR
|
|
|
|
Last night I suggested a change to [[!gluster]] - after I woke up,
|
|
my patch has already been incorporated - that is awesome!
|
|
|
|
## The experience
|
|
|
|
After beginning my journey with [[!gluster]] some months ago
|
|
and my recent blog about
|
|
[[How to access gluster from multiple networks|how-to-access-gluster-from-multiple-networks]],
|
|
I have made a great experience with glusterfs yesterday:
|
|
|
|
After [mentioning that I have the same problem](http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-March/020945.html) as [何亦](http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-March/020939.html)
|
|
and [suggesting a patch](http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-March/020948.html),
|
|
I had this incredible experience:
|
|
|
|
1. Someone ([[!twitter nixpanic]] aka Niels) suggested to prepare it for inclusion
|
|
1. GlusterFS has [an organic process for development and testing](http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Simplified_dev_workflow) - seeing the patch going through this process gives me the impression someone cares about code quality
|
|
1. After creating the [bugreport](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1199577), the process smoothly started
|
|
1. The patch was reviewed within hours
|
|
1. And finally merged into the master branch as well as [included for glusterfs 3.6.3](http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-March/020955.html)
|
|
|
|
The overall experience as a FOSS *contributor* can be described by a single word:
|
|
|
|
A-W-E-S-O-M-E
|
|
|
|
I have contributed to many FOSS projects, but this experience is exceptionally great -
|
|
thanks for the help everyone and keep up the good work!
