Activity: - Some really crude git log | grep | cut | sort nonsense suggests 58 different patch authors / contributors so far in 2018. This may be undercounted by a bit. - Blake Eggleston, Sam Tunnicliffe, and Stefan Podkowinski were added to the PMC (congrats!) - We're up to about 45 changes pending in 3.11.3 and 30'ish in 3.0.17, nearing time for some new release votes Notable Commits to 4.0 since February - CASSANDRA-12151 landed, brining audit logs - CASSANDRA-13910 landed, removing probabilistic read repair chance - Pluggable storage interfaces are being added incrementally, with the write path, repair, and streaming interfaces already committed If you're bored on this weekend and want something to do, here's Kurt's list of patches that need reviews: Bugs: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14365 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14204 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14162 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14126 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14365 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14099 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14073 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14063 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14056 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14054 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14013 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13841 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13698 Improvements: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14309 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10789 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14443 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13010 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11559 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10789 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10023 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8460 And Josh's similar JIRA query: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20cassandra%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20unresolved%20AND%20status%20in%20(%22Patch%20Available%22%2C%20%22Awaiting%20Feedback%22)%20AND%20reviewer%20is%20EMPTY%20ORDER%20BY%20updated%20DESC
