+:page-post-date: December 1, 2023
+:page-post-author: Apache Cassandra PMC
+:description: announcement of the Apache Cassandra Catalyst program
+:keywords:
+
+One of the cornerstones of https://www.apache.org/theapacheway/[The Apache
Way^] is "community over code," the belief that the most sustainable and
healthy projects are those that value a diverse and collaborative community. By
working together, strong communities can rectify problems that arise during
code development and can better evolve a project to meet technology demands.
+
+Today we are excited to announce the
xref:cassandra-catalyst-program.adoc[Apache Cassandra Catalyst program], an
effort that aims to recognize individuals who invest in the growth of the
Apache Cassandra community by enthusiastically sharing their expertise,
encouraging participation, and creating a welcoming environment. This is the
first PMC-led community program of its kind within the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF) ecosystem, and we hope it inspires other ASF projects to find
simila [...]
+
+Below you’ll find a couple of questions we feel are important to address right
away, but for more information, you can visit the
xref:cassandra-catalyst-program.adoc[Cassandra Catalyst Program page] and
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQ6FJZ9Z6Jpym0q1KUXzjnzEsHJvsmjQ3R6KEs6Qs8Jg7W_Q/viewform[nominate
someone or apply^].
+
+**What does it mean to be a Cassandra Catalyst?**
+
+Catalysts are trustworthy, expert contributors with a passion for connecting
and empowering others with Cassandra knowledge. The individuals must be able to
demonstrate strong knowledge of Cassandra such as production deployments,
educational material, conference talks, or other ways. In broad terms, Catalyst
can participate in two groups of activities:
+
+* **Contribution**: Engaging with the project and community in a myriad of
ways including responding to community questions, welcoming new members; or
engaging in JIRA tickets.
+* **Promotion**: Telling others about Cassandra, on and offline. This can
include promoting the project on social media; publishing Cassandra content so
that others can learn more about Cassandra; speaking about Cassandra at an
event; or organizing an event for the community.
+
+**Who can become a Cassandra Catalyst?**
+
+Anyone can nominate an individual to become a Catalyst or apply themselves.
This program applies to existing contributors who have been involved in
Cassandra for years or those who are newcomers to the community.
+
+**How is this different from being a Cassandra committer?**
+
+The Catalyst award is not to be confused with the
https://cassandra.apache.org/_/community.html#how-to-contribute[project’s
committership or being on its PMC^], roles that involve project participation
and contributions. The Catalyst program is recognition for effort of any type
around the project, and is not a position or title within the project or the
ASF.
+
+**What are the benefits of becoming a Catalyst?**
+
+Cassandra Catalysts will be formally recognized for their ongoing work to
foster a more collaborative and robust Cassandra community. Catalysts will be
listed in several ways including posted to the Cassandra website; announced at
community events; given a digital badge for social media profiles; and
inclusion in a private channel on the ASF Slack for networking.
+
+**How does someone become a Catalyst?**
+
+Individuals can become Catalysts by applying through an
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQ6FJZ9Z6Jpym0q1KUXzjnzEsHJvsmjQ3R6KEs6Qs8Jg7W_Q/viewform[online
form^] where their nomination will be reviewed by the Catalyst committee and
endorsed by the PMC. They will need to submit proof and details of their
activity in the Apache Cassandra community. Nominations will be open every 12
months and will be announced on all Apache Cassandra channels.
+
+We plan to announce the first group of Catalysts at the upcoming
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/cassandra-summit/[Cassandra Summit^] on
December 12-13 in San Jose, California. For those interested in applying, be
sure to do so before Friday, December 8 at 5:00 p.m. UTC to be included in this
first announcement.

+=== What is Apache Cassandra?
+
+Cassandra Catalysts are individuals who invest in the growth of the Apache
Cassandra® community by enthusiastically sharing their expertise, encouraging
participation, and creating a welcoming environment. Catalysts are trustworthy,
expert contributors with a passion for connecting and empowering others with
Cassandra knowledge.
+
+Cassandra Catalysts must be able to demonstrate strong knowledge of Cassandra
such as production deployments, educational material, conference talks or other
ways.

+
+[openblock,image-expand inner inner--narrow py-large cf]
+----
+[discrete]
+=== What does a Cassandra Catalyst do?
+
+The ways that Catalysts can get involved in the community and be recognized
for their work can be broadly grouped into two areas: *Contribution* and
*Promotion*. Everyone is applicable including existing committers.
+
+*Contribution* is engaging with the Cassandra project and community:
+
+* Responding to questions in Cassandra community spaces
+* Welcoming new people into Cassandra community spaces
+* Engaging in JIRA tickets
+* Outstanding contributions to Cassandra in the areas of code, documentation,
design, and others that grow the core project
+
+*Promotion* is telling others about Cassandra, both online and offline:
+
+* Promoting Cassandra on social channels and in other communities
+* Publishing a blog, video or other content on relevant websites
+* Publishing a use case on the Apache or Planet Cassandra sites
+* Speaking about Cassandra at an event
+* Organizing a Cassandra-focused meetup or event
+
+_Cassandra community spaces include the Cassandra mailing lists (dev@, user@),
Cassandra channels in the ASF Slack, questions tagged with ‘Cassandra’ on Stack
Overflow and DBA Stack Exchange._
+
+Anyone can nominate an individual to become a Catalyst or apply themselves.

+[discrete]
+=== Contribution
+
+[discrete]
+==== Responding to community questions
+
+Cassandra users ask questions in community spaces every day. Catalysts who
engage in this activity will be on hand to respond to people as their questions
arise. This could mean providing the answer they are seeking, or it could be
connecting them with someone else in the community who can provide an answer.
+
+[discrete]
+==== Welcoming new community members
+
+As new people join Cassandra community spaces, Catalysts can help out by
creating a clear sense of belonging. This can involve sending newcomers a
message to introduce themselves, engaging with them in some discussion about
how they use Cassandra, and generally making them feel welcome in the
community. Documentation on best practices and how to do this effectively will
be co-created by Catalysts, including templates for predefined messages.
+
+
+[discrete]
+==== Engaging in JIRA tickets
+
+JIRA is the primary platform for discussion about Cassandra development.
Engagement on JIRA means providing meaningful input on tickets and submitted
code that moves the work forward and helps to improve the Cassandra user
experience.
+
+[discrete]
+==== Outstanding contributions to the Cassandra project
+
+As an open source project, Cassandra relies on contributions from the
community in many areas - code, documentation, design, marketing, and others.
Getting involved in these areas is a great way to have a real impact on the
project and community. Catalyst recognition is awarded to committers and
contributors alike. Contributors recognised as a Catalyst, because of their
contribution work, are likely already being considered to be invited as
committer. The Catalyst program is never used a [...]

+[discrete]
+=== Promotion
+
+[discrete]
+==== Promoting on social channels
+
+Consistent promotion on social channels and within other communities is a
great way to grow the Cassandra project. Catalysts can promote the project in
this way, provided it is intentional and significant.
+
+[discrete]
+==== Publishing Cassandra content
+
+Creating content about Cassandra is a great way to contribute to the ongoing
growth of the community and project, and it is one of the primary ways that
people find out more about how Cassandra can be used and implemented. This can
include any kind of text, video, or audio content. Blogs and use cases are
published on the xref:index.adoc[Apache Cassandra website] and syndicated on
https://planetcassandra.org/usecases/[Planet Cassandra,window="_blank"].
+
+
+[discrete]
+==== Speaking about Cassandra
+
+Events are a vital part of community engagement and growth. As such, speaking
at them is a great way to spread the word about Cassandra. These events can be
in-person or virtual and could be organized by the Cassandra community (e.g.
monthly Town Halls) or external events that are relevant to the interests of
the Cassandra project.
+
+[discrete]
+==== Organizing Cassandra events
+
+In addition to speaking at events, Catalysts can also organize Cassandra
events. This could be a meetup group that is fully focused on Cassandra, or it
could be an event within another community that is relevant to the Cassandra
project. Catalysts may also host or assist with Cassandra Town Halls or
Contributor Meetings (open to all community members).
+

+
+[openblock,image-expand inner inner--narrow py-large cf]

+[discrete]
+=== Benefits for Catalysts
+
+All Catalysts will be formally recognized as a ‘Cassandra Catalyst’. This
comes with the following benefits:
+
+* Being listed on the Cassandra site as an Catalyst
+* Announced at Cassandra Summit and/or other community events
+* A digital badge
+* Inclusion in the ASF Slack for networking, and sharing best practices and
resources with other Catalysts.
+* Occasional swag/giveaways (dependent on community funding)
+
+Catalysts will be recognized for their ongoing work to foster a more
collaborative and robust Cassandra community. New Catalysts will be announced
as they are confirmed and Catalyst status will be reviewed every 12 months.

+Individuals can become Catalysts by applying through an online form where
their nomination will be reviewed by the Catalyst committee and endorsed by the
PMC. They will need to submit proof and details of their activity in the Apache
Cassandra community. Nominations will be open every 12 months and will be
