Dear Cassandra PMC and community, The Board of Directors of the ASF apologizes for contributing to the sometimes heated nature of discussions in the last few days on this list.
We have reminded board members to remain civil in such discussions, whatever the context and history. As published in the reports that the Cassandra PMC regularly makes to the Board [0] there have been concerns earlier this year about the project not being sufficiently independent, which is a very strong requirement for Apache projects. We are aware that progress is being made and are hopeful that good progress will be continued. As for the Cassandra community, the Board is looking forward to a continued healthy Cassandra project and feels that the project is on a good track to recover from this somewhat difficult period. We wish Cassandra a bright future and are proud to have such a successful project at the ASF! -- Bertrand Delacretaz, for the ASF Board of Directors.
