Does it need to be strictly Apache Cassandra? Or is something built on/working with DataStax Enterprise allowed? I would think if it doesn’t depend on DSE-only technology, it could still apply to a general Cassandra audience.

Two days of tracks mean we need 60 approved talks. Ideally, we need over 100 submitted to ensure we have a good pool of quality talks. We already have quite a few vendor pitches that have nothing to do with Cassandra. Think of it as like CFP spam. https://events.linuxfoundation.org/cassandra-summit/program/cfp/ [events.linuxfoundation.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/events.linuxfoundation.org/cassandra-summit/program/cfp/__;!!M-nmYVHPHQ!M0BGXPRA1yBtXgBJnVInSj_nlCO6kQrG0xHjrCcG2jq3VtKaP1ehc5fnZw6A1T_N5jB-R46xdpP_SQkZtjL2zLg$> The deadline is December 11th. That is 12 days! If you are assuming that will get pushed out, don’t. We have a tight schedule before March 13th. Speakers must be notified of talk acceptance by the beginning of January to book travel in time. The full schedule will be published by mid-January. That being said, I have talked to quite a few people that are working on a submission. Thank you for being willing to create a talk! How can I help you get it completed?

Let’s make it a festival of the database we love and the things we build with it. One more thing. We need sponsors! If your employer can, this is a great opportunity to get your brand out in front of people building the future. I’ll be back. Go submit a talk. You’ll be happy you did! Patrick INTERNAL USE
