Thanks Melissa! If all goes well there should be a 4.0 beta release ready for public this week. Coordinating media releases around open source releases is not something I've seen much of, or have much experience with. I can imagine that it is always going to be clumsy around an organic group of individuals around the world, individuals doing their best to be independent from the companies that employ them, companies that each have own stake in the project. We just have to do our best! If people know of other OSS projects doing this well it would be great to know and learn from them. To all non DataStax folk, I've only seen Melissa's work in this community (dev and private ML). There has been nothing about this internally at DS. The only thing I've heard about the media coordination is from Josh's post here, and I made mention of it when raising the vote: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r537fe799e7d5e6d72ac791fdbe9098ef0344c55400c7f68ff65abe51%40%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E DS of course benefits from a successful OSS project, but so do we all, so do please help Melissa (and all new contributors) out, there's really no reason not to assume best intentions here. regards, Mick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org
