4. About Apache Kylin
http://kylin.apache.org
Extreme OLAP Engine
for Big Data
Apache Kylin is an open source Distributed Analytics
Engine designed to provide SQL interface and multi-
dimensional analysis (OLAP) on Hadoop, supporting
extremely large datasets and sub-second level
response time.
kylin / ˈkiːˈlɪn / 麒麟
--n. (in Chinese art) a mythical animal of composite form

7. Incubating Process

8. Our Practices
Building open source community in China

9. The Challenges
The GFW and others

10. East vs West
The Culture Challenge

11. Chinese vs English
There’s no Tower of Babel

12. Timezone

13. User vs Contributor
Contributing is growing fast

14. Open vs Close
Corp willing to contribute…but not all

15. Do first vs Talk first
from coding to communicating

16. F2F vs Discuss @list
discussion, vote, release…
open more and more

17. WeChat vsWeChat Group, QQ Group, IM Group…
Mailing List
Google Group
Twitter
IRC

18. Why WeChat?
Kylin Twitter account
Kylin WeChat Public account

19. Why WeChat?
One spark Group, 500 peopleKylin User Group
No tech discussion there

20. Mailing list activity
Data from New ASF Infa Services:
https://lists.apache.org/ngrams.html?dev@kylin.apache.org
Keep discussion open, and in mailing list

21. Media and News
“Like arch-rival Amazon.com, the soon-to-split eBay Inc. is something of an oddity in that it
hasn’t historically been a big contributor to the open-source community. But the e-commerce
pioneer hopes to change that with the release of the source-code for a homegrown online
analytics processing (OLAP) engine that promises to speed up Hadoop while also making it
more accessible to everyday enterprise users.”
