Starting from today, I am officially a Pig committer!
The Pig PMC has decided to “promote” me to committer after 2 years of continued involvement in the platform.
I am really excited to be part of this great community, and to receive this acknowledgement of my work.
I will do my best to contribute to the project and make Pig a better platform!
Cheers!

My proposal for this year’s Google Summer of Code (GSoC) has been accepted!
Also this year I will be working on Apache Pig.
Last year I worked on the backend and on improving performance. This year instead I will work on the front end and on improving usability. I will implement a couple of “syntactic sugar” features for Pig/Latin.
These features are simple but quite useful. My proposal outlines some interesting use cases.
This year I will be mentored by Thejas Nair. I am very happy to be able to contribute again to this very interesting open source project.
It’s a pity I didn’t start GSoCing before and this will be my last year (blame my memory, on my first year as a PhD student I missed the deadline by 3 days…).

My project has been accepted for Google Summer of Code!
I will be working on Pig, more specifically I will implement a binary comparator for secondary sort.
I am really excited for this opportunity to contribute!
