Awesome - was missing the link to CASSANDRA-17930. That's a good home to link 
these efforts to. Thanks!

Re: Cassandra project status update 2022-10-13

2022-10-13 Thread Derek Chen-Becker
Hi Josh,

I do have a ticket for the CircleCI addition:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17950. It's a subtask of
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17930, which I'm planning
on doing more work on once I get confirmation that I'm not doing something
wrong with CircleCI :)

I put the JIRA ID in the commit message but I guess I forgot to mention it
in the request for reviewer :(

For the doc PR Mick just said to submit the PR first since it's a small
change, but I'm happy to open a JIRA ticket for it if that's a more
appropriate path.

Cheers,

Derek
