Bob, Your ideas are welcome! I do like the idea of an aggregation point for Geode content. Our past experience with the Apache JRoller blog site was…not the best. We do have some content aggregated in the wiki [1] but it’s not a great content platform either.
My main concerns are a) ensuring PMC control of any Geode-branded site and b) that any source code artifacts for this site are hosted on ASF-managed infrastructure (e.g. apache GitHub) and c) that site contributions are made via our normal contributor model of accepting PR’s. +1 from me assuming those concerns are incorporated into this effort Thanks, Anthony [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Articles+and+Presentations <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Articles+and+Presentations> > On Apr 10, 2020, at 10:04 AM, Bob Glithero <rglith...@vmware.com.INVALID> > wrote: > > Thanks.
