Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Hi all, I came across GSoD 2019[1]. This is different from GSoC and focuses on improving documentation for Open Source projects. I think this would be beneficial for Cassandra especially with 4.0 coming up. However, working with a technical writer will require a substantial time commitment from

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Hi Dinesh Great idea. We should be able to find some Instaclustr people to help with technical input (Stefan has already put his hand up). I’m also happy to help with the application if that’s useful. Cheers Ben --- *Ben Slater* *Chief Product Officer*

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Cool. I’m willing to help by taking sub sections of the overall effort. The docs need a lot of TLC. Thanks , Rahul Singh Principal Architect | 1.202.390.9200 | rahul.si...@datastax.com On Mar 12, 2019, 8:58 PM -0400, Ben Slater , wrote: > Hi Dinesh > > Great idea. We should be able to find some I

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Hey guys, the deadline to pick folks is today. I looked through the 7 that were in the last spreadsheet that Andrew sent out and liked these applicants in no particular order. They had made an effort to propose a project. Others they had shown experience in other community projects as well as API

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

So, I think we need to figure out if anybody is actually willing to put in the time to help and mentor these contributors, since the last person to reach out was roundly ignored. Who volunteered the project for this? I think they need to step up and get involved. Right now, I don't feel comfo

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Hi Benedict, Nate & I are driving this effort and a bunch of folks from the community have volunteered. We're actively working with the GSoD team. We also have responded to everyone who has reached out. Nobody was ignored. Dinesh > On Jul 23, 2019, at 1:13 PM, Benedict Elliott Smith > wrote

Glad to hear it - perhaps it would help if there were a bit more visibility? Last I saw was Immanuel contacting the list almost a month ago and, well... (seemingly) crickets. On 23/07/2019, 21:44, "Dinesh Joshi" wrote: Hi Benedict, Nate & I are driving this effort and a bunch of

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Hi Benedict, I am sorry for the lack of communication. We will send out an update soon. Based on GSoD's guidelines, Nate created gsod2...@cassandra.apache.org email alias so that potential writers could contact the mentors for clarifications regarding Cassandra tech writing projects. We were in

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

That's great, I'm really pleased to hear it. It's just been completely invisible to the rest of the community, which is a shame - but I have no desire to detract from the work you've done, now I know it's been going on behind the scenes. It would certainly help in future, I think, if you guys

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Benedict - this is totally fair ask. Initially, we wanted a wide audience to help, but the GSoD stuff only allowed for two project contacts on the sign up forms. Apache Airflow (the other ASF project accepted) and us both had to do some work-arounds for how the ASF process/mail lists/etc are setup
