Meeting Notes
Quick summary
ApacheCon is coming in September and we need good Cassandra talks. CFP is open and ready. Progress on issues has been moving faster with an Alpha3 release. There was a proposal to outline what’s needed to move to Beta. Look to the mailing list for that. Discussion about inviting more contributors to participate in the sidecar project. Docs project is moving along nicely with some big contributions being committed.
ApacheCon CFP - Just go do it. A few talks have been submitted.
