+
+Our monthly roundup of key activities and knowledge to keep the community
informed.
+
+
+
+## Release Notes
+
+#### Released
+
+We are expecting 4.0rc to be released soon, so join the Cassandra [mailing
list](https://cassandra.apache.org/community/) to stay up-to-date.
+
+For the latest status on Cassandra 4.0 GA please check the [Jira
board](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=355&quickFilter=1661)
(ASF login required). We are within line-of-sight to closing out beta scope,
with the remaining tickets representing 2.6% of the total scope. Read the
latest summary from the community
[here](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r353a9256a0cb27cffcaaf3e58df0a3bea3bd7373cc490f6646632d37%40%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E).
+
+#### Proposed
+
+The community has been discussing [release
cadence](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/re15543b55e5d01245ad75f7ec35af97e9895d37c01562eab31963dd4%40%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E)
after 4.0 reaches GA. An official vote has not been taken on this yet, but the
current consensus is one major release every year. Also under discussion are
bleeding-edge snapshots (where stability is not guaranteed) and the duration of
support for releases.
+
+## Community Notes
+
+_Updates on Cassandra Enhancement Proposals (CEPs), how to contribute, and
other community activities._
+
+#### Added
+
+We are pleased to announce that Paulo Motta has accepted the invitation to
become a PMC member! This invite comes in recognition of all his contributions
to the Apache Cassandra project over many years.
+
+#### Added
+
+Apache Cassandra is taking part in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) under the
ASF umbrella as a mentoring organization. We will be posting a separate blog
soon detailing how post-secondary students can get involved.
+
+#### Proposed
+
+With 4.0 approaching completion, the idea of a project roadmap is also being
[discussed](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r630675e184a3d8db66893c8206ea0bcb9adce62e97dfcb667e4e3438%40%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E).
+
+#### Changed
+
+The Kubernetes SIG is looking at ways to invite more participants by hosting
two meetings to accommodate people in different time zones. [Watch
here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp-0JaptJ3Y).
+
+[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp-0JaptJ3Y)
+
+A community website dedicated to
[cass-operator](https://github.com/datastax/cass-operator) is also in
development focused on documentation for the operator. Going forward, the
Kubernetes SIG is discussing release cadence and looking at six releases a year.
+
+K8ssandra 1.0, an open source production-ready platform for running Apache
Cassandra on Kubernetes, was also released on 25 February and announced on its
new [community website](https://k8ssandra.io/). Read the [community
blog](https://k8ssandra.io/blog/2021/02/26/k8ssandra-1.0-stable-release-and-whats-next/)
to find out more and what's next. K8ssandra now has images for Cassandra
3.11.10 and 4.0-beta4 that run rootless containers with Reaper and Medusa
functions.
+
+## User Space
+
+#### Instana
+
+“The Instana components are already containerized and run in our SaaS
platform, but we still needed to create containers for our databases,
Clickhouse, Cassandra, etc., and set up the release pipeline for them. Most of
the complexity is not in creating a container with the database running, but in
the management of the configuration and how to pass it down in a maintainable
way to the corresponding component.” -

[...]
+
+#### Flant
+
+“We were able to successfully migrate the Cassandra database deployed in
Kubernetes to another cluster while keeping the Cassandra production
installation in a fully functioning state and without interfering with the
operation of applications.” -
