Airbyte

Good morning!

Currently, there are 16 issues on <https://github.com/orgs/airbytehq/projects/108/views/2?filterQuery=|this board> that are "Waiting Eng Team", but none, since last week at least, that are on status "Eng Team: In Review". It seems community pull requests are not being worked on at the moment. Filtering by the current sprint, nothing at all shows up.

Is there any strategy the development team is currently undergoing that the community should know about? Even if there is no timeline, it'd be great to have more transparency.

Hi <@U07QH45FV52>,

We are excited to be welcoming a new team member in early November that will be focusing a lot more on our Airbyte Community!

As of last week, we have updated our <https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/contributing-to-airbyte|Contribution Guidelines> to make the back-forth with engineering and the community simpler.  We are now requesting that Airbyte maintainers have `WRITE` access on PR submission branches.  This should help with dependency bumps etc, it will also ensure that contributors get named as GitHub authors for their work.

Hopefully this insight is helpful!

The new system looks great <@U06EADEMRNZ>

Any update on when the new employee will start?

I'm sure you're aware and do the best you can ... it's just having to rebase updates daily and manage conflicts against the base version is tedious and time consuming ... I've rebased my <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/pull/68194|contribution> at least a dozen times, and re-version it twice already.

+1 on this issue as well. While I don't currently handle a large Airbyte Cloud account (just a couple of small ones at the moment), the delay in reviewing <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/pull/66536|the PR for the Facebook Pages> connector has us subscribing to another platform (Fivetran), instead of having  everything on Airbyte :grimacing:
