Re: NGCC 2020 ?

[Nate McCall]

Thanks for bringing this up again, Paulo!

Moving ApacheCon to online turned out to be complicated logistically, so we
just did a single C* track. Would be happy to help organize an NGCC though.

[DISCUSS] Logistics for Cassandra ApacheCon@Home track and NGCC

[Nate McCall]

Per my previous email:

2. Decide what we want to do about NGCC
3. Add some more talks as we go depending on demand
4. Figure out the logistics of how this will work by playing with Hopin

Again, this is pretty much a blank slate. Assume we have a virtual
conference system for 24hrs and can basically do whatever we want.

I would like to hear what some folks would like to see here - particularly
people who have participated in some of Patrick's scheduled calls (but
anyone is welcome to chime in).

ApacheCon Cassandra and NGCC 2020 Call for proposals

[Nate McCall]

I am delighted to share with you that we, the Apache Cassandra community,
in light of our success at last year at last year's conference, have been
given a three day track at this year's ApacheCon in New Orleans, LA, USA
[0].

The goal of this track is simple: we are going to get together to talk
about Apache Cassandra. As such, this will be the ideal place to network
with peers, ask questions, get answers, etc.

On day one, we will be having our Next Generation Cassandra Conference
(NGCC). All are welcome to attend but this day is targeted for Apache
Cassandra committers, contributors and large-scale cluster operators to get
together and discuss topics of interest to them for future development
efforts. The content will focus on internals and will be geared towards
folks with knowledge of the codebase and/or operating Cassandra in very
large environments. Talk submissions for NGCC should take this target
audience into account.

Days two and three will be more general purpose and accessible for a wider
audience. If you are interested in speaking here, put something together
that tells a story others will want to hear. What we are looking for is
general use case submissions that our users will find interesting. This can
be how you solved a specific problem or just a general picture into how
your organization uses Apache Cassandra. A good submission will embrace the
open source ethos of sharing information to help others solve similar
problems.

NGCC talks will be targeted to 30 minutes with 15 minutes for questions or
small break out discussions. General purpose talks will have 50 minutes
with five minutes for questions.

For more information, including details of how to submit proposals, please
see this page:
https://acna2020.jamhosted.net

Please indicate "Cassandra" as the category and add NGCC at the top of the
"Proposal abstract" text box if you are submitting an NGCC talk.

If you are interested in helping organize, plan, and review submissions for
the Cassandra track, we'll send additional details out closer to the CFP
deadline about how you can be involved.

Re: NGCC 2018?

I like Jon's idea, plenty of food for thought in terms of a 4.0
retrospective + what's on the future.

Re: NGCC 2018?

[sankalp kohli]

Another thing to  discuss will be how to improve testing further from the
learning of finding bugs in C* 4.0.

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Jason Brown]

+1 to Jon's sentiment. Further, perhaps we should use that time after
GA'ing 4.0 to poll our users what they need/want from the next major
release of the database.

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Jonathan Haddad]

I'm thinking a month or two after 4.0 would give us time to unwind after
the release and start to give real thought to big changes coming in the
next release.  Let's focus on one thing at a time.

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Jay Zhuang]

Are we going to have a dev event next month? Or anything this year? We may
also be able to provide space in bay area and help to organize it. (Please
let us know, so we could get final approval for that).

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Jonathan Haddad]

My interpretation of Nate's statement was that since there would be a bunch
of us at Lynn's event, we might as well do NGCC at the same time.

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Ben Bromhead]

It sounds like there may be an appetite for something, but the NGCC in its
current format is likely to not be that useful?

Is a bay area event focused on C* developers something that is interesting
for the broader dev community? In whatever format that may be?

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Nate McCall]

This was discussed amongst the PMC recently. We did not come to a
conclusion and there were not terribly strong feelings either way.

I don't feel like we need to hustle to get "NGCC" in place,
particularly given our decided focus on 4.0. However, that should not
stop us from doing an additional 'c* developer' event in sept. to
coincide with distributed data summit.

That was a factor in our thinking and my suggested timing/city, but as you
know such an event is more than just space in a conference room :)

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Patrick McFadin]

Ben,

Lynn Bender had offered a space the day before Distributed Data Summit in
September (http://distributeddatasummit.com/) since we are both platinum
sponsors. I thought he and Nate had talked about that being a good place
for NGCC since many of us will be in town already.

Nate, now that I've spoken for you, you can clarify, :D

Re: NGCC 2018?

[Jeff Beck]

I am an organizer with a conference (GR8Conf US) here in Minneapolis I
would be happy to assist with organizing and we also have recording
equipment to support up to 3 tracks. We operate under a non profit already
if we need a legal entity.

If it is the bay area I we can't help much with space but we have contacts
here if there is any desire to have it in the midwest.

NGCC 2018?

[Ben Bromhead]

The year has gotten away from us a little bit, but now is as good a time as
any to put out a general call for interest in an NGCC this year.

Last year Gary and Eric did an awesome job organizing it in San Antonio.
This year it might be a good idea to do it in another city?

We at Instaclustr are happy to sponsor/organize/run it, but ultimately this
is a community event and we only want to do it if there is a strong desire
to attend from the community and it meets the wider needs.

Here are a few thoughts we have had in no particular order:

   - I was thinking it might be worth doing it in SF/Bay Area around the
   dates of distributed data day (14th of September) as I know a number of
   folks will be in town for it.
   - Typically NGCC has focused on being a single day, single track
   conference with scheduled sessions and an unconference set of ad-hoc talks
   at the end. It may make sense to change this up given the pending freeze
   (maybe make this more like a commit/review fest)? Or keep it in the same
   format but focus on the 4.0 work at hand.
   - Any community members who want to get involved again in the more
   organizational side of it (Gary, Eric)?
   - Any other sponsors (doesn't have to be monetary, can be space,
   resource etc) who want to get involved?

If folks are generally happy with the end approach we'll post details as
soon as possible (given its July right now)!

Re: NGCC 2017 Announcement

[Gary Dusbabek]

Hi everybody! It was pointed out that we did not establish clear deadlines
for CFP submissions to NGCC. We'd like to have all responses in by August
19 (end of this week). That will give members of the PMC a few days to
consider them before making final decisions on or about the 26th of August.

So if you have a burning desire to help shape the direction of this project
and something concrete to say about it, this is your chance!

Thanks,

Gary

+1 for Tuesday (IMO, it's easier to get there over the weekend for

Bah! Jeff beat me to responding with essentially the same message. +1 for
Tuesday and the venue.

Looks great to me - especially the venue.  Date wise, Tuesday (19th) lets
people fly in on Monday instead of costing a weekend, so selfishly that
seems better to me.

Re: NGCC Proposal (Was Re: NGCC?)

[Gary Dusbabek]

I don't see any problem if a cadre of organizers want to put something
together in Europe. All it takes is someone (or group) to coordinate
things. Go for it.

One of the main points of this kind of event is to physically collocate
with other devs, so remote participation isn't something that we've looked
into.

Cheers,

Gary.

Hi Gary

NGCC looks very interesting, especially taking into account that we have no
summit this year. Being something that's aimed at C* developers and to
discuss its future, I was wondering if besides putting up the talks on
YouTube, we'll also have the opportunity to participate in the discussion
remotely?
In case it's not possible, does the community usually organise something
similar for Europe? In case it does, I would be happy to help organise it.

Best regards

NGCC Proposal (Was Re: NGCC?)

[Gary Dusbabek]

## Cassandra list email

Hi everybody,

Here are current thoughts about structure and timing. Your feedback is
welcome.

Date: One of 18, 19, or 22 September 2017. We are aware the Tokyo user
group is planning an event the first week in October. We’re doing our best
to give a buffer there.

Venue: After evaluating a few options in San Antonio, the event space at
Geekdom seems like a good fit and the right balance of cost and services (
goo.gl/tViC72).

Format: This will be a one day event, starting in the morning and running
through the evening. Here is a proposed agenda we can iterate on:

* 8-9am - catered breakfast, conversation
* 9-12 - presentations, including a coffee/snack break
* 12-1:30pm - catered lunch
* 1:30-4:00pm - presentations, including a coffee/snack break
* 4-5pm - lightning talks
* 5-6:30pm - happy hour and a half
* 6:30-9:30pm - dinner at a local restaurant

We hope to film the presentations and make them available on Youtube.

A few have already reached out offering various resources or assistance.
Thank you! Eric or I will be reaching out to coordinate as soon as we are
ready to finalize plans.

Please chime in if you have suggestions, especially those relating to
format.

Cheers,

Gary

Re: NGCC?

[Eric Stevens]

Trying to coordinate it around the eclipse seems neat on the surface, but
practically it's probably not a great idea as most major cities along the
eclipse line have largely sold out their hotel rooms for that event.

Gary Dusbabek and myself are both willing to shoulder the grunt work
of organizing this.

Since we're both in San Antonio, that's the location that would be
most practical for us.  It's also easy to get to, centrally located,
and the weather should be fantastic that time of year.

We were thinking we'd put together some options for venue, and propose
some dates, and circle back to the list in search of consensus.

If this seems reasonable for now, then we'll get back to everyone with
more info in a weeks time.

Re: NGCC?

[Patrick McFadin]

A couple years ago we tried to attach it to an ApacheCon event, but the
feedback from the ASF was fairly negative on attaching events. I don't
think making it a part of Apache Big Data would work.

The alternative as an independent event with sponsorship will be really
hard to coordinate and a potential political minefield.

Tl;DR Cassandra Summit Japan could be an ideal place.

Oh and Russ? You win for most awesome event activity ever.

You are right, of course.  I was (clumsily) trying to create a

I’m just throwing this out there, mostly because I’m a science nerd, but why 
not August 21st in the viewability range for the Solar eclipse?  Here is a map

I kind of agree with Russ, here. However, at the same time, a once-a-year,
in-person meeting that not everyone can physically attend isn't the only
avenue to bring up issues for discussion. All influencers/developers/power
users/whatevers should be encouraged to start discussions on the dev@ ML,
at anytime. In addition to being more in the Apache Way, it's trackable,
maintains history, and is publicly open to everyone. Traditionally, we as a
community haven't done so well with dev@ discussions, although I think it's
better than a few years ago and we are improving.

All this being said, I think having an in-person get together of the
developers (and any others) to help discuss roadmap, new and crazy ideas
wrt implementation, and just generally hang out is good thing. As space
usually follows budget, if we end up constrained for a NGCC, we may need to
be more (or less) selective than in years past -  I don't know how that'll
happen, but perhaps we can find a way with PMC voting or something along
those lines.

I like the idea of a NGCC, but we shouldn't subscribe to it as the only
medium for discussions of big issues/features/concerns.

-Jason

p.s. Yes, Jira can serve a similar purpose as a dev@ thread, but it's
usually not a great place to have design discussions of large features (I'm
guilty of this).

We should do our best to plan around Cassandra Summit Tokyo - NGCC in
September seems like a good idea.

Re: NGCC?

[K.Tomita]

I'm organizer for Cassandra Summit Tokyo.
we are Cassandra user's group of Japan.
We're planning to hold a conference by Tokyo to invite some committers
at a first week in October.
I'm preparing in order to announce it while being close.

And I welcome NGCC.
As far as possible , I'd like to cooperate.

Re: NGCC?

[Russell Bradberry]

> read: developers *of* Cassandra

Historically it has not only been developers of Cassandra but also specific 
power users, influencers, and experts.  If you want to be successful in 
deciding the direction of a product, you need more than its developers present. 
 For instance, I am not a Cassandra developer, but I have been invited every 
year. Same with folks like Peter Bailis, Rick Branson, and others who come in 
with a wealth of knowledge around varying use cases.  Unfortunately, I missed 
that last two years, but was hoping to make it this year.

And to be clear:

NGCC == Next Generation Cassandra Conference

And conference may or may not be a misnomer here.  I think what we're
talking about is more of a meeting of Cassandra developers (read:
developers *of* Cassandra), to discuss their respective needs / plans,
and to talk about how that might fit into a project road map.

IMO, a successful event would result in ideas and help inform
consensus about where the project is going, what is important, and who
is willing to collaborate on what.  I do not see this as a place where
actual decisions would be made, that wouldn't be inclusive of all the
people unable to attend.

The community-driven Cassandra Japan conference is tentatively
targeting the first week of October. We've had participants from Japan
the past couple of years at NGCC, so would be cool if we could
accommodate that.

+1 on Mid September. (We should probably move this to a vote/form thingy soon).

+1.

Are there guidelines for how to set something like this up or is it tribal
knowledge?

Hi,

Is anyone working on an NGCC event for this year? Given all of the
recent changes, it seems like it could be really useful. If not, is
there interest? When would be good, September? October? What about
location? I think we could get the space to host such an even in
either San Antonio (centrally located), or San Francisco (San
Franciscoly located).

Thoughts?

Just a heads up that I've sent out acceptances for 52 people.  If you're
surprised that you didn't get one, please resubmit your information.

Also, that leaves us with room for about ten more, so if you were on the
fence about coming, go for it!

Hi all,

This year's Next Generation Cassandra Conference will be June 8-9 (yes, two
days!) in Austin, Texas.  The first day will be a single track of prepared
presentations, similar to previous years'.  The second day will be reserved
for followup discussions in an "unconference" format.

Details and registration:

See you there!

NGCC 2015: April 16, Austin (colocated with Apachecon)

[Jonathan Ellis]

Hi all,

I'm hosting the Next-generation Cassandra Conference for C* contributors
alongside ApacheCon this year -- basically, we're subletting the conference
rooms from them.  So if you want to attend the rest of ApacheCon as well,
this is your chance.  And for those who attended last year, Austin is a lot
cooler in April!

Not coincidentally, we have room for twice as many attendees this year, as
well as two breakout rooms.  I want to try a JLS (JVM Language Summit)
model, where interested participants can move to an adjacent room to
continue the discussion around particularly interesting talks, without
derailing the schedule in the main presentation room.  So we'll still be
following a single track of talks, but branching off side discussions
around them.

Attendance is free, but if the available space fills up, presenters
will be given
priority.  So don't be shy about submitting a talk proposal!
