I haven't looked into GSoD this year. However, the scope of a GSoD project has to be sufficient for the amount of time that is allocated by GSoD. They had 2 project lengths when we last participated - short & long. Projects need to be defined accordingly. It is a lot of work and I personally don

I tend to agree with Mick. We should have a bit of time to look around and do a final cross check. Also, our CI is really painful these days and I am not talking only about test failures, but infra. On Tue, 8 Mar 2022 at 13:56, Mick Semb Wever wrote: > We do not want to encourage/enable the rush

I agree with Josh here. If we can’t be adding things that pass review up until the moment we decide to cut the release it means people are not following our stated goals/process for suitability for merge. If that is the case then we should work to fix that, not add arbitrary soft freeze window

Any of the docs contributors interested in taking the lead on this? Perhaps Dinesh could share some tips on how to create the GSoD application. I think there is a lot of documentation that needs to be created/migrated, would be nice to have some external help on this. For instance, some virtual t

At the very least we should wait until the current issues with CI have resolved, so that pending work can merge, before declaring any freeze. From: Mick Semb Wever Date: Tuesday, 8 March 2022 at 15:13 To: dev@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Next release cut Should we plan some soft

2022-03-08 Thread Benjamin Lerer
Hi everybody, We discussed cutting the next release in May but did not provide more clarity about it. The cassandra-4.0 branch was created on the 1st of May last year. So it would make sense to do something similar this year. Does it sound reasonable? Should we plan some soft freeze before that? D
