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

Re: Media coordination (was: [VOTE] Release Apache Cassandra 4.0-beta1)

2020-07-20 Thread Sally Khudairi
Hello everyone --Mick pinged me about this; I wanted to respond on-list for 
efficacy.

We've had dozens of companies successfully help Apache Projects and their 
communities help spread the word on their projects with their PR and marketing 
teams. Here are some best practices:

1) Timing. Ensure that the Project has announced the project milestone first to 
their lists as well as announce@ before any media coverage takes place. If 
you're planning to time the announcements to take place in tandem, be careful 
with embargoes, as not everyone is able to honor them. We've been burned in the 
past with this.

2) Messaging. Keep your announcement plans and draft press releases, etc., 
private: limit discussions to the PMC. Drafting announcements on public lists, 
such as user@, whilst inclusive, may inadvertently expose your news prematurely 
to the press, bloggers, and others before its ready. This can be detrimental to 
having your news scooped before you actually announce it, or conversely, having 
the news come out and nobody is interested in covering it as it's been leaking 
for a while. We've also been burned in the past with this. Synching messaging 
is also helpful to ensure that the PMC speaks with a unified voice: the worst 
thing that can happen is having someone say one thing in the media and another 
member of the PMC saying something else, even if it's their personal opinion. 
Fragmentation helps no-one. This recently happened with a Project on a rather 
controversial topic, so the press was excited to see dissent within the 
community as it gave them more to report about. Keep things co
 ol: don't be the feature cover of a gossip tabloid.

3) Positioning. It's critical that whomever is speaking on behalf of the 
Project identify themselves as such. This means that the PMC needs to have a 
few spokespeople lined up in case of any media queries, and that the 
spokespeople supporting the project are from different organizations so you can 
. I cannot stress enough the need to exhibit diversity, even if everyone 
working on the media/marketing side is from a single organization --the ASF 
comes down hard on companies that "own" projects: we take vendor-neutrality 
very seriously. What's worked well with organizations that have pitched the 
press on behalf of a project is to pitch the project news, have spokespeople 
from other organizations speak on behalf of the PMC and follow up with 
different spokespeople/companies that have supporting products or activities. 
The ability to showcase breadth of deployment demonstrates Project relevance.

There have been instances of companies pre-announcing Project news and 
milestones before the Project has done so themselves, in the form of press 
releases, blog posts, articles on Medium/DZone/elsewhere, or on social media. 
Whilst we appreciate their enthusiasm, it has caused significant erosion of 
goodwill within the community, and issues with the press. 

Apache Projects that have been successful with outside (corporate) support to 
help with marketing and media relations have shared their press announcements, 
articles, posts, and pitches prior to going live to ensure that they are 
balanced and have proper attribution and form. I'm happy to help with this if 
needed.

Briefing analysts is a bit of a different situation, and I'm happy to help with 
that as well.

Best of luck,
Sally

Re: Media coordination (was: [VOTE] Release Apache Cassandra 4.0-beta1)

2020-07-20 Thread Benedict Elliott Smith
Thanks Sally, really appreciate your insight.

To respond to the community discourse around this:

> Keep your announcement plans ... private: limit discussions to the PMC

This is all that I was asking and expecting: if somebody is making commitments 
on behalf of the community (such as that a release can be expected on day X), 
this should be coordinated with the PMC.  While it seems to transpire that no 
such commitments were made, had they been made without the knowledge of the PMC 
this would in my view be problematic.  This is not at all like development 
work, as has been alleged, since that only takes effect after public agreement 
by the community.

IMO, in general, public engagements should be run past the PMC as a final 
pre-flight check regardless of any commitment being made, as the PMC should 
have visibility into these activities and have the opportunity to influence 
them.

> There has been nothing about this internally at DS

I would ask that you refrain from making such claims, unless you can be certain 
that you would have been privy to all such internal discussions.

> there's really no reason not to assume best intentions here

This is a recurring taking point, that I wish we would retire except where a 
clear assumption of bad faith has been made.  If you are criticised, it is 
often because of the action you took; any intention you had may be irrelevant 
to the criticism.  In this case, when you act on behalf of the community, your 
intentions are insufficient: you must have the community's authority to act.

Actually, in this case and many others it's because of people's unfounded
assumptions about motives, incentives, and actions taken and has little to
do with reality. Which is the definition of not assuming positive intent.

Benedict, re-reading it I realised that sentence lost some important

*I had not seen or heard* of anything internally as DS.

I do hope everyone read and reads it as such.

2020-07-20 Thread Benedict Elliott Smith
Firstly, that is a very strong claim that in this particular case is disputed 
by the facts.  You made a very specific claim that the delay was "risking our 
currently lined up coordination with journalists and other channels". I am not 
the only person to interpret this as implying coordination with journalists, 
contingent on a release schedule not agreed by the PMC.  This was based on 
semantics only; as far as I can tell, no intentions or assumptions have entered 
into this debate, except on your part.

> Which is the definition of not assuming positive intent.

Secondly, this is not the definition of positive intent.  Positive intent only 
indicates that you "mean well"

Thirdly, in many recent disputes about governance, you have made a negative 
claim about my behaviour, or ascribed negative connotations to statements I 
have made; this is a very thinly veiled example, as I am clearly the object of 
this criticism.  I think it has reached a point where I can perhaps 
legitimately claim that you are not assuming positive intent?

> motives, incentives ... little to do with reality

It feels like we should return to this earlier discussion, since you appear to 
feel it is incomplete?  At the very least you seem to have taken the wrong 
message from my statements, and it is perhaps negatively colouring our present 
interactions.

Actually, in this case and many others it's because of people's unfounded
assumptions about motives, incentives, and actions taken and has little to
do with reality. Which is the definition of not assuming positive intent.

2020-07-20 Thread Melissa Logan
Thank you, Mick, Sally et al. Appreciate this discussion.

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.
> This is a new approach for C* and our aim as a contributor is to be
transparent and follow community governance and norms. We're happy to share
what's worked marketing OSS in our experience, perhaps as an ad hoc
presentation or on an existing call -- just let me know. I've spoken to
several people in the community (from a range of companies) and everyone
shares an enthusiasm for seeing C* succeed and especially 4.0 -- from
publishing content (discussed here:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r45e124f34a05dc2871cf8b094e3f57476d651933b8a69837fda0d935%40%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E)
to hosting meetups and webinars, and more.

Sally, thank you for reiterating the guidelines and will take you up on a

2020-07-20 Thread Blake Eggleston
I don't think Benedict mentioned anything about people's motives or intentions, 
he simply had a concern about how marketing timelines became a factor in a 
release vote without the approval of the PMC. I think this is a reasonable 
concern, and doesn't mean that he's assuming bad intentions. That's my reading 
at least, although maybe I missed something?

2020-07-20 Thread Scott Hirleman
I'll add in here as someone who was acting as PM on a lot of cross-team
projects at my last few gigs, this is a good example of coordination
improving the process. If people are unwilling to change their opinions or
even express them, that is an issue. Timing of release/progress is
important and pushing back on whether changes are necessary is valid too.

Being aware that Marketing contributions are valid/valuable community
contributions is a key to the success of a project. Seems like there were
some white spaces in what was known but this was a good resolution for all.
Is there some update to public documentation that can be put out there to
explain the coordination and timing w/ the Marketing team? Want to make
sure this isn't only included in a single email chain but is posted up for
all to review and see because it's important info.

Re: Media coordination (was: [VOTE] Release Apache Cassandra 4.0-beta1)

2020-07-20 Thread Melissa Logan
For the 4.0 beta blog/infographic -- the PMC has approved and Sally has
also reviewed.

I'm happy to publish on site (per dev guidelines on GitHub) unless someone
else would like to volunteer and has the dev environment already set up on
their machine. If the latter, would you let me know today so we can
coordinate?

Characterizing alternate or conflicting points of view as assuming bad 
intentions without justification is both unproductive and unhealthy for the 
project.
