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
    • Updates made to the MVP doc related to PMC requests; awaiting final feedback. Josh said the doc generally looked good.
  • Update: Recent Content. Please help share:
  • Coming soon: short event checklist for Cassandra events (Melissa Logan)
    • The event checklist has been drafted and shared with a couple community members for review. Hugh to share on dev list for final feedback.
  • Update: How to do calendar better (Melissa Logan)
    • We were able to add the marketing alias to the calendar invite, so any changes to event times will go to the alias in the future - be sure to sign up.
    • Did everyone see 4 invites? Sorry about that. :) Not sure why it was sent 4 times.
