I know a lot of people are excited to see the return of Cassandra Summit and I'm one of them! This has always been a gathering of not only people that use and love Cassandra but people that push the edge of scale and data. I hope to see a lot more of that in 2023.
This summit is being run by the Linux Foundation, which has a great track record of quality technical events. We want to make sure they see this as something they want to support year over year. To do that, we'll need everyone from the community to step up in some way and help make this a successful event. There are three important things we'll need to ensure we do this in 2024 and beyond. - Sponsorship. A major part of the funding that isn't optional. If your company is involved in the Cassandra ecosystem, consider a sponsorship level that makes sense for you. Prospectus coming soon. - Registration. If you can make it to San Jose, get registered as soon as you can. If you can't make the trip, register for the virtual event, and let's show the Linux Foundation what an amazing community we are! Watch for the opening of registration soon. - Content. Some of my favorite moments from previous summits were attending the talks given by the community. When the CFP opens in a couple of weeks, get in there and pitch your story. I'll be asking a lot so just prepare yourself. I'm especially looking forward to hearing from newer Cassandra community members since the last summit. This is our community and our event. Let's make this a celebration of amazing engineering and the people in our community.
