Re: NGCC 2020 ?
Thanks for bringing this up again, Paulo! Moving ApacheCon to online turned out to be complicated logistically, so we just did a single C* track. Would be happy to help organize an NGCC though.

NGCC 2020 ?
Hey folks, Nate mentioned on this thread [1] the possibility of co-locating NGCC with ApacheCon@Home but there was no subsequent update on this. Has there been any definition on this ? I think NGCC could be a good opportunity to gather the development community to discuss blockers and remaining work to release 4.0 and perhaps start discussing how to improve our development/release process post-4.0. I have some free cycles in the coming weeks and if there's interest from the community I would be happy to help coordinate/facilitate this. ApacheCon tracks are from Sep 29 to Oct 1, maybe we could do NGCC after ApacheCon on Oct 2 (Friday)? If folks think this is too soon, maybe we could move it to later in the year but I think it would be nice to have NGCC this year as we approach the end of the 4.0 release. Below are some potential topics that could be interesting to discuss: - 4.0 what is left, release timeline estimation, how people can help stabilization, etc.. - Post-4.0 development/release process - Lightning talks: CEP, Kubernetes-SIG, etc.. - 5.0 tentative roadmap Please let me know your thoughts on this. Cheers, Paulo [1] - https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cassandra.apache.org/msg15470.html
ApacheCon Cassandra and NGCC 2020 Call for proposals
I am delighted to share with you that we, the Apache Cassandra community, in light of our success at last year at last year's conference, have been given a three day track at this year's ApacheCon in New Orleans, LA, USA [0]. The goal of this track is simple: we are going to get together to talk about Apache Cassandra. As such, this will be the ideal place to network with peers, ask questions, get answers, etc. On day one, we will be having our Next Generation Cassandra Conference (NGCC). All are welcome to attend but this day is targeted for Apache Cassandra committers, contributors and large-scale cluster operators to get together and discuss topics of interest to them for future development efforts. The content will focus on internals and will be geared towards folks with knowledge of the codebase and/or operating Cassandra in very large environments. Talk submissions for NGCC should take this target audience into account. Days two and three will be more general purpose and accessible for a wider audience. If you are interested in speaking here, put something together that tells a story others will want to hear. What we are looking for is general use case submissions that our users will find interesting. This can be how you solved a specific problem or just a general picture into how your organization uses Apache Cassandra. A good submission will embrace the open source ethos of sharing information to help others solve similar problems. NGCC talks will be targeted to 30 minutes with 15 minutes for questions or small break out discussions. General purpose talks will have 50 minutes with five minutes for questions. For more information, including details of how to submit proposals, please see this page: https://acna2020.jamhosted.net Please indicate "Cassandra" as the category and add NGCC at the top of the "Proposal abstract" text box if you are submitting an NGCC talk. If you are interested in helping organize, plan, and review submissions for the Cassandra track, we'll send additional details out closer to the CFP deadline about how you can be involved.
