Making it Easier to Contribute to Airflow by Making Development a 'Breeze'

Have you ever considered contributing code to Airflow but didn't know how to go about it or were intimidated by the the process and the technical setup? Enter 'Breeze', the super productive Airflow development environment. This month we're excited to welcome Jarek Potiuk, Principal Software Engineer at Polidea. He's a driving force behind 'Breeze', which makes it much easier to ramp up quickly as a productive Airflow contributor. Join us!

Here's a description of the talk from Jarek: "This talk is mainly about making life better for developers of Apache Airflow. It’s been born out of frustrations of first-time Airflow developers we had when we joined the project almost a year ago. As we remember it now - the time it took to setup the test and development environment was counted in days rather than minutes. Also it was not easy to understand how we can easily iterate over tests, how we can effectively run tests in different variants of the Airflow environment and how to make sure that what we submit a PR that will flawlessly pass Travis CI builds. Since we had a team working on Airflow, we had to figure out how to efficiently share the environment between the developers in our team. Initially we developed a really nice development environment for ourselves just to speed up our work, but we understood others have the same problems, so we decided to bring the experience we had into the mainstream of Airflow development."

Additional Note: Would you like to participate in a separate hands-on workshop provided by Jarek? We're gauging interest in a session to be held sometime between the 27th and 30th of August. If you're interested, please send a message to Brian Lavery, the meetup organizer.

The presentation will be followed by food, drink and mingling to network and talk about Airflow.
