Agenda & Notes
- Sharing results from the user survey (Patrick McFadin)
- Many still on 3.x - how many plan to upgrade? How do we connect with these people to upgrade as 3.x will be EOL.
- Potential to follow-up with an operations survey - what they’re using to manage C. Consider doing this survey in a couple months. Majority results show C is hard to learn. Why hard to learn? What can we do on the Town Halls to help?
- New 5.0 features people are most interested in - ACID, SAI, UCS.
- Using Cassandra with other technologies - invite them to Town Halls. Showcase the ecosystem of technologies around C.
- 90 people said they wanted to contribute code - how to reach out? Send them LHF; 91 people for content. Patrick will co-create an email to send. Melissa suggested LHF landing page for getting started for Cassandra. Find Ekaterina’s OS.com article. Josh suggested we could add in the ReadMe.
- Next steps:
- Patrick drafting blog post for Cassandra site + byline within a week.
- Josh looking into how to contribute page / ReadMe.
- Melissa volunteered for PR outreach for survey/blog.
- Planet Cassandra Contributors (Patrick McFadin)
- https://planetcassandra.org/contact/. Want more use cases and blogs on the site. People just raise their hand and we’ll work with them to contribute. Give people a t-shirt for contributing.
- Update: MVP Program (Melissa Logan)
- Found an ASF-approved way to fund swag through Open Collective
