Hi Cassandra devs, Patrick McFadin sent this to the users list, but it was buried at the end of a long email so I wanted to highlight this here as well.
DataStax is starting a new Apache Cassandra conference, DataStax Accelerate, May 21-23 in Maryland. DataStax is pleased to offer a free, full-conference pass to the Cassandra community: use code DevRelFree when you register at https://www.datastax.com/accelerate. Hope to see you there! -- Jonathan Ellis co-founder, http://www.datastax.com @spyced
