Yep, misspoke on my part. Committer volunteers, pmc required was what I
poorly failed to articulate.

Apologies if I wasn’t clear. The intention was pmc and committers. I would
be inclined to open it further but we are tied into the ASFs review system
for which you need an ASF account. (If someone had commit access on another
project and wanted to participate , I’d be cool with that).

Re: Review ApacheCon Cassandra track submissions

Re-reading that, I realize I probably need to clarify:

1) Entire PMC *+ anyone else who wants to volunteer* vote on talks. Not
just PMC.

1) How about we have entire PMC vote on talks?
2) We need to do t-shirts. :) Do we need corporate sponsorship for that
(i.e. $$)? I can look into that if so.

Review ApacheCon Cassandra track submissions

2019-05-20 Thread Nate McCall
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
