[ANNOUNCE] Weekly community update #13

[Till Rohrmann <tr...@apache.org>]

Dear squirrels,

here is the next weekly community update thread. Please post any news and
updates you want to share with the community here.

# Release 1.5

The community is still focused on hardening the Flink 1.5 release and
adding more automated end-to-end tests. If you want to help with the
effort, then look for release blocker issues [1] (be aware you have to be a
Flink contributor to see the release overview).

There is also some more discussion about writing the automated end-to-end
tests [2].

So far, the community could fix many of the serious deployment bugs. Once
the deployment is hardened, we want to create a first RC in order to
facilitate the release testing effort and to include more of the community
in it.

# Flink on Kubernetes

There is a discussion about how to implement Flink on Kubernetes [3]. If
you are interested in this feature, please join the discussion.
