<h1>April 2015 in the Flink community</h1>
<p><i></i></p>
<article>
<p>14 May 2015 by Kostas Tzoumas (<a href="https://twitter.com/kostas_tzoumas">@kostas_tzoumas</a>)</p>
<p>April was an packed month for Apache Flink.</p>
<h3 id="flink-runner-for-google-cloud-dataflow">Flink runner for Google Cloud Dataflow</h3>
<p>A Flink runner for Google Cloud Dataflow was announced. See the blog
posts by <a href="http://data-artisans.com/announcing-google-cloud-dataflow-on-flink-and-easy-flink-deployment-on-google-cloud/">data Artisans</a> and
the <a href="http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.de/2015/03/announcing-Google-Cloud-Dataflow-runner-for-Apache-Flink.html">Google Cloud Platform Blog</a>.
Google Cloud Dataflow programs can be written using and open-source
SDK and run in multiple backends, either as a managed service inside
Google’s infrastructure, or leveraging open source runners,
including Apache Flink.</p>
<h2 id="flink-090-milestone1-release">Flink 0.9.0-milestone1 release</h2>
<p>The highlight of April was of course the availability of <a href="/news/2015/04/13/release-0.9.0-milestone1.html">Flink 0.9-milestone1</a>. This was a release packed with new features, including, a Python DataSet API, the new SQL-like Table API, FlinkML, a machine learning library on Flink, Gelly, FLink’s Graph API, as well as a mode to run Flink on YARN leveraging Tez. In case you missed it, check out the <a href="/news/2015/04/13/release-0.9.0-milestone1.html">release announcement blog post</a> for details</p>
<h2 id="conferences-and-meetups">Conferences and meetups</h2>
<p>April kicked off the conference season. Apache Flink was presented at ApacheCon in Texas (<a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fhueske/apache-flink">slides</a>), the Hadoop Summit in Brussels featured two talks on Flink (see slides <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/AljoschaKrettek/data-analysis-with-apache-flink-hadoop-summit-2015">here</a> and <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/GyulaFra/flink-streaming-hadoopsummit">here</a>), as well as at the Hadoop User Groups of the Netherlands (<a href="http://www.slideshare.net/stephanewen1/apache-flink-overview-and-use-cases-at-prehadoop-summit-meetups">slides</a>) and Stockholm. The brand new <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Apache-Flink-Stockholm/">Apache Flink meetup Stockholm</a> was also established.</p>
<h2 id="google-summer-of-code">Google Summer of Code</h2>
<p>Three students will work on Flink during Google’s <a href="https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015">Summer of Code program</a> on distributed pattern matching, exact and approximate statistics for data streams and windows, as well as asynchronous iterations and updates.</p>
<h2 id="flink-on-the-web">Flink on the web</h2>
<p>Fabian Hueske gave an <a href="http://www.infoq.com/news/2015/04/hueske-apache-flink?utm_campaign=infoq_content&amp;utm_source=infoq&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_term=global">interview at InfoQ</a> on Apache Flink.</p>
<h2 id="upcoming-events">Upcoming events</h2>
<p>Stay tuned for a wealth of upcoming events! Two Flink talsk will be presented at <a href="http://berlinbuzzwords.de/15/sessions">Berlin Buzzwords</a>, Flink will be presented at the <a href="http://2015.hadoopsummit.org/san-jose/">Hadoop Summit in San Jose</a>. A <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Apache-Flink-Meetup/events/220557545/">training workshop on Apache Flink</a> is being organized in Berlin. Finally, <a href="http://2015.flink-forward.org/">Flink Forward</a>, the first conference to bring together the whole Flink community is taking place in Berlin in October 2015.</p>
