Building Meltano in Public: four weeks into the relaunch
To quote myself: attracting a few dozen people who really get it, will stick with it, and will help make it happen is exactly what I was aiming for, so I’d call this a successful relaunch! 😁
Earlier this week, it was my turn to host a GitLab Group Conversation (a publicly live streamed Q&A on the GitLab Unfiltered YouTube channel) on Meltano. I used the opportunity to share some updates about last month’s announcement of Meltano’s new strategy and direction and the response and impact so far.
If you’re curious, check out the presentation on Google Slides and the Q&A on YouTube. The presentation content can also be found on our blog.
Personally, I couldn’t be happier with how things have turned out so far, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has given Meltano a try, shared feedback from their experience, and contributed to the future of this open source ELT solution.
In conclusion, allow me to quote from the Slack conversation I had with GitLab CEO Sid Sijbrandij after he saw the presentation:
Sid: great content, love the quotes on slide 3, these people really get what you’re doing.
Douwe: Yep, and attracting a few dozen people who really get it, will stick with it, and will help make it happen is exactly what I was aiming for, so I’d call this a successful relaunch! 😁
