Contributing to the StreamSets Data Collector Community
As you likely already know, StreamSets Data Collector (SDC) is open source, made available via the Apache 2.0 license. The entire source code for the product is hosted in a GitHub project and the binaries are always available for download.
As well as being part of our engineering culture, open source gives us a number of business advantages. Prospective users can freely download, install, evaluate and even put SDC into production, customers have access to the source code without a costly escrow process and, perhaps most importantly, our users can contribute fixes and enhancements to improve the product for the benefit of the whole community. In this post, I’d like to acknowledge some of those contributions, and invite you to contribute, too.
