Apache Cassandra Accepted to GSoD

2019-04-30 Thread Nate McCall
Hi Folks,
Quick update to say that we got accepted to Google's Season of Docs project:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants/

Outline of potential projects is here for reference:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/Apache+Cassandra+GSoD+2019+application

Huge thanks to the volunteers (listed on the above confluence page)
who signed up for mentorship and took time to fill out the
applications.

Note that the dev@ email is on there as the contact point (it needed
to be a published, shared project address). Dinesh or myself we take
the initial inbounds as we are listed as mentors on the application,
but everyone please feel free to jump in to answer any questions that
come up during this process.

We'll write again once we know more about who we are working with.

Cheers,
-Nate

Free pass to DataStax Accelerate

Hi Cassandra devs,

Patrick McFadin sent this to the users list, but it was buried at the end
of a long email so I wanted to highlight this here as well.

DataStax is starting a new Apache Cassandra conference, DataStax
Accelerate, May 21-23 in Maryland.  DataStax is pleased to offer a free,
full-conference pass to the Cassandra community: use code DevRelFree when
you register at https://www.datastax.com/accelerate.

Hope to see you there!
