Thanks, Denis. Hello, everyone!
Indeed, I think releasing a "highlight" announcement makes sense here, and I'll
be happy to work with you over the next week or so to get that drafted.
And thanks in advance, Roman Shtykh, for acting as project spokesperson in your
role as release manager. Participation from the community at-large is greatly
appreciated!
Here's hoping everyone has a happy New Year!
Warmly,
Sally = = = = = vox +1 617 921 8656gvox +1 646 598 4616skype sallykhudairi

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
- News: 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.

Yes --that works for me. I appreciate your following up on this.
Should any non-GridGainers/additional PMCers wish to join the call, I presume
that would be possible, yes?

Sally,
I will schedule 30 minutes screen sharing call via GoToMeeting tool for 11.30
AM PST so that both Dmitriy and Nikita can attend.
Please confirm that the time works for you.

Thanks, Denis.
I'll be happy to chat with you tomorrow after 10AM PT, if that works for you.
Ideally there will be other members of the PMC on the call as well, so we can
discuss possible ways to help the project with outreach strategy and tactics.
Just so you know, I've worked with the GridGain PR/Comms team (Brigit,
Samantha, Elyce) on Ignite through the incubation process, as well as with
GridGain announcements (to ensure that they are in alignment with ASF
guidelines), so it'll be a good idea to loop them in at some point if they'll
be providing a supporting role to the project. I spoke with Elyce last week
about how Apache projects promote themselves.
Do let me know what time(s) work best for you (I'm on UTC -5, with
flexibility). Ideally we can do a conference call; otherwise Skype is do-able
as well.
Kind regards,

Hi Sally,
Thanks for a prompt reply.
I would be happy to have a call with you tomorrow or in the beginning of the
next year to describe everything in the details. Please let me know the time
that works for you and the way you prefer to talk (Skype, phone call, etc.). My
timezone is PST and, just in case, I located in Foster City, CA.
In the meanwhile, the significance of the feature is the following.
Apache Ignite is an in-memory data grid (IMDG). As all other IMDGs it’s
implemented as a distributed key-value storage [1]. The benefit of such an
implementation is that a solution/application that works on top of an IMDG can
scale out easily gaining significant performance improvements. However, it
requires application developers to re-implement existed solutions/applications
that usually work with relational databases by means of SQL language. Such a
migration from a relational database to the IMDG can be painful because the
developers have to rewrite SQL based code to IMDG’s native APIs.
However, with Apache Ignite SQL Grid feature [2] this painful and challenging
migration can be avoided in general. The developers can keep using existed
applications and tools written for relational databases and based on SQL
language with no or minor code modification.
All this means that with Apache Ignite the developers can benefit from both
horizontal scalability, distributed computations [3], real-time streaming [4]
supported by IMDGs and SQL as the main querying language. To my knowledge,
Apache Ignite is the only data grid that supports this combination and this
product belongs to Apache Foundation ;)
Hope this makes things much clearer to you.

Of course: we're happy to see what we can do.
Help me understand the significance of this feature --"not unusual" confuses me
somewhat, plus as a non-technologist, it would be great to see how we can
position this for the media to take note.
Perhaps we can connect over the next few days or early new year to sort this
out?
Cheers and chat soon,Sally

Marketing and Publicity Committee,
I’m reaching you out on behalf of Apache Ignite community. Recently our
community did the breakthrough releasing the support of DML (Data Modification
Language) that works on top of our in-memory data grid which is not usual for
products of such kind. The feature might be interested for those who still work
with conventional relational databases and can’t switch to a in-memory data
grid due to a lack of features like DML.
Is there any chance to make a wider announcement with your help? More details
about the DML support are below
Starting from version 1.8.0 this list is expanded with a new component named
In-Memory SQL Grid [2]. In-Memory SQL Grid adds in-memory distributed database
capabilities to Apache Ignite. It is horizontally scalable, fault tolerant and
SQL ANSI-99 compliant. SQL Grid fully supports all SQL and DML commands
including SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, MERGE and DELETE queries. The In-Memory SQL
Grid allows you to interact with Ignite platform using JDBC or ODBC APIs
without custom coding. This provides true cross-platform connectivity even from
languages such as PHP and Ruby which are not natively supported by the project.

The Apache Ignite Community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Ignite
1.8.0.
Apache Ignite In-Memory Data Fabric [1] is a high-performance, integrated and
distributed in-memory platform for computing and transacting on large-scale
data sets in real-time, orders of magnitude faster than possible with
traditional disk-based or flash-based technologies.
The Fabric is a collection of independent and well integrated components some
of which are the following:
- Data Grid
- Compute Grid
- Streaming & CEP
- Service Grid
Starting from version 1.8.0 this list is expanded with a new component named
In-Memory SQL Grid [2]. In-Memory SQL Grid adds in-memory distributed database
capabilities to Apache Ignite. It is horizontally scalable, fault tolerant and
SQL ANSI-99 compliant. SQL Grid fully supports all SQL and DML commands
including SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, MERGE and DELETE queries. The In-Memory SQL
Grid allows you to interact with Ignite platform using JDBC or ODBC APIs
without custom coding. This provides true cross-platform connectivity even from
languages such as PHP and Ruby which are not natively supported by the project.
Apache Ignite 1.8.0 also includes Redis protocol support and support for .NET
Entity Framework 2nd Level Cache and ASP.NET Session Caching. The full list of
the changes can be found here [3].
Please visit this page if you’re ready to try the release
