+
+#### Changed
+
+A vulnerability rated `Important` was found when using the `dc` or `rack`
internode_encryption setting. More details of CVE-2020-17516 Apache Cassandra
internode encryption enforcement vulnerability are available on this [user
thread](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r883eccde63637ea18ab5890c09c18e9573f8080bbccaa5ccd1304b8f%40%3Cuser.cassandra.apache.org%3E).
+
+Note: The mitigation for 3.11.x users requires an update to 3.11.10 not
3.11.24, as originally stated in the CVE. (For anyone who has perfected a flux
capacitor, we would like to borrow it.)
+
+The current status of Cassandra 4.0 GA can be viewed on this [Jira
board](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=355&quickFilter=1661)
(ASF login required). RC is imminent with testing underway. The remaining
tickets represent 3.3% of the total scope. Read the latest summary from the
community
[here](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rbc7e4664c0261b0d82baf4b303a7f10977bf138a7419d97d737e0b1a%40%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E).
+
+## Community Notes
+
+_Updates on Cassandra Enhancement Proposals (CEPs), how to contribute, and
other community activities._
+
+#### Added
+
+Apache Cassandra will be participating in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC)
under the ASF umbrella as a mentoring organization. This is a great opportunity
to get involved, especially for newcomers to the Cassandra community.
+
+We’re curating a list of JIRA tickets this month, which will be labeled as
`gsoc2021`. This will make them visible in the [Jira issue
tracker](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNAPSE-1125?jql=labels%20%3D%20gsoc2021)
for participants to see and connect with mentors.
+
+If you would like to volunteer to be a mentor for a GSoC project, please tag
the respective JIRA ticket with the `mentor` label. Non-committers can
volunteer to be a mentor as long as there is a committer as co-mentor. Projects
can be mentored by one or more co-mentors.
+
+Thanks to Paulo Motta for proposing the idea and getting the ticket list going.
+
+#### Added
+
+Apache Zeppelin [0.9.0](http://zeppelin.apache.org/download.html) was released
on January 15. Zeppelin is a collaborative data analytics and visualization
tool for distributed, general-purpose data processing system, which supports
Apache Cassandra and others. The release notes for the Cassandra CQL
Interpreter are available
[here](http://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.9.0/interpreter/cassandra.html).
+
+#### Changed
+
+For the GA of Apache Cassandra 4.0, any claim of support for Python 2 will be
dropped from update documentation. We will also introduce a warning when
running in Python 2.7. Support for Python 3 will be backported to at least
3.11, due to existing tickets, but we will undertake the work needed to make
packaging and internal tooling support Python 3.
+
+#### Changed
+
+The Kubernetes SIG is discussing how to encourage more participation and to
structure SIG meetings around updates on Kubernetes and Cassandra. We also
intend to invite other projects (like OpenEDS, Prometheus, and others) to
discuss how we can make Cassandra and Kubernetes better. As well as updates,
the group discussed handling large-scale backups inside Kubernetes and using S3
APIs to store images. [Watch here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5mEgFquIoo).
