Yeah this is something that hopefully folks at DataStax can work to
update in its marketing material..

Special Report: August 2016

2016-08-06 Thread Chris Mattmann
Hi Apache Cassandra PMC,

I requested a special report last month that I never saw regarding
the issues going on in Cassandra regarding company control, etc.

Jonathan said he would be collecting the information and reporting
but perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. I didn’t want to wait until your
next reporting cycle. I think the issues were enough that an
out-of-band report was needed.

I now explicitly request a report this month for your project.
Please address:

1. Company control, specifically Datastax 
2. Planet Cassandra and its prominence on the website 
3. Issues like I’ve seen James Carman and others bring up about 
marketing material from DataStax 
4. PMC composition and overall approach to PMC and committers

Thank you.

Cheers, 
Chris Mattmann
