Hi all, I'm hosting the Next-generation Cassandra Conference for C* contributors alongside ApacheCon this year -- basically, we're subletting the conference rooms from them. So if you want to attend the rest of ApacheCon as well, this is your chance. And for those who attended last year, Austin is a lot cooler in April!
Not coincidentally, we have room for twice as many attendees this year, as well as two breakout rooms. I want to try a JLS (JVM Language Summit) model, where interested participants can move to an adjacent room to continue the discussion around particularly interesting talks, without derailing the schedule in the main presentation room. So we'll still be following a single track of talks, but branching off side discussions around them. Attendance is free, but if the available space fills up, presenters will be given priority. So don't be shy about submitting a talk proposal! http://learn.datastax.com/2015-Next-Generation-Cassandra-Conference.html -- Jonathan Ellis Project Chair, Apache Cassandra co-founder, http://www.datastax.com @spyced
