Hi Brian, Thank you very much for the update and for all the coordination from M&P. I appreciate the thoughtful approach to pacing the content and completely agree with the proposed order. Prioritizing the Geode 2.0 Release Announcement on January 12 makes perfect sense given its timeliness.
The plan for the Ozone and DiDi case study and the Modernization Epic series also sounds great. I am fully supportive of splitting the modernization article into multiple parts and discussing the best structure and cadence. Thank you again for your guidance and partnership. I am looking forward to the upcoming discussions and to helping move everything forward.

Because of the holiday break, M&P now has drafts and finished articles on: * Geode 2.0 Release Announcement * Apache Ozone / DiDi Global Case Study * Apache Geode 2.0: A Modernization Epic To spread out the distribution of this content, I am recommending this timing: Geode 2.0 Release Announcement: to be posted/announced on January 12 (or ASAP) Apache Ozone / DiDi Global Case Study: finished, to be posted on apache.org in late January/early Feb, then syndicated later on Dev.to Apache Geode 2.0: A Modernization Epic: Draft received, which is very lengthy, and we would like to discuss here how to possibly split it into two or three parts, and then figure out the timing of these posts (every two weeks?) We can discuss the order and timing aspects as you like, but M&P is set on doing the 2.0 announcement first due to sheer timeliness. Thanks for the discussion to come and the work thus far!
