CC-ing Apache Ignite dev@ in the loop. Igniters, PMC members had a talk with Sally Khudairi who represents ASF Marketing & Publicity group. Sally, thanks a lot for finding a time to jump on the call.
One of the main topics of the call was our latest 1.8.0 release. It was agreed that Sally would help the community to prepare an additional announcement so that we can expand awareness of the following features: In-Memory SQL Grid. Sally, hope that I could convey the main benefit of this feature to you. Just in case, here is my recent blog post [1] where it’s explained how PHP users can leverage from this new component. Redis protocol support. Roman S., could you find a time and write a blog post about it or recount the main benefits that Sally can include in the announcement referring to you? .NET features. Already well described in this post [2]. Just in case, Pavel T. will be able to provide more details if needed. Also we discussed marketing related activities, issues and approaches related to Apache Ignite in general. At the moment community members maintain the following sources that increase awareness of Ignite: Blogs: https://ignite.apache.org/blogs.html <https://ignite.apache.org/blogs.html> News: https://ignite.apache.org/news.html <https://ignite.apache.org/news.html> Twitter: https://twitter.com/ApacheIgnite I will deep dive into this topic the next year relying on you, Igniters, and Sally trying to find a way to get all we can from existed channels as well as implementing other approaches.
