Awesome! Thank you Maxim and Carlos. DM incoming. I have 2 hours of content between DMs and replies here if each talk is 15 minutes. This will be a great preview tour of Cassandra.next()
I say that except TCM. We still need somebody to take that on and, at a minimum, explain what it is and how it will affect operations, etc. If you are interested, hit me up in Slack DMs. I need to get this locked in by the end of the week, otherwise I'm going on a recruiting run. Alex Petrov has been the champion for this feature, but I'm just going to assume he's completely slammed. If I had my dream speaker for TCM, it would be somebody who knows little about TCM, operates a lot of Cassandra, and is willing to dig in and share what they learned.
