Hi Folks, As you probably know, the ApacheCon NA CFP recently closed. We received *a lot* of submissions for the Cassandra track (thanks everyone!!!). 3x more than any other project specific track and *almost* as much as the catch-all big data track.
Not only that, but there are a lot of good ones in there. To accommodate this, we added another user-focused day (bringing us to 1 day of NGCC and 2 days of talks) as well as another room. We'll be able to take 19 user talks and 9 NGCC talks. If you are a committer (or by extension a PMC member) and you want to help grade talks, please let me know by replying to this email and we'll get you setup. More instructions will follow once we get a head count. As we need to get started, I'll cap the number of people to whoever has replied within 72 hours of sending this email. Thanks again to everyone that submitted abstracts! I can't tell you how happy we were to see the response once we got access to the submissions. Cheers, -Nate
