Looking for Cassandra Forward topics and speakers
Hi everyone,
A couple of years ago, I organized a Cassandra Forward event to get
people excited about the next version of Cassandra. It's time to ramp
up the excitement about one of the more consequential releases of
Cassandra: 5.1 or 6. Whatever we land on as a version will impact the
community with the addition of ACID transactions.
There is a lot more to talk about, so my plan is to create a nicely
rounded menu of topics that showcase the velocity of our new features.
Format: Online and prerecorded.
Date: First week of March
My main issue is needing speakers. Here's the topic list (please feel
free to comment on this)
- Accord: I can cover this like I have been. No need for a speaker there.
- TCM: I think the most important thing nobody knows about with
future Cassandra.
- Sidecar (Spark jobs, Live migration) #2 on my list of "things you
should know about Cassandra but don't." This project has been in the
shadows too long and I think users will love it.
- Cassandra and Kubernetes: Not especially new, but certainly ramping
up. This would be great topic for an end user to discuss. Share the
good and bad.
- CQL Management API: Can we just celebrate the end of JMX hell
potentially? Who can talk about this?
SAI enhancements were recently highlighted by Caleb on the ML. This
isn't just a one-and-done feature, and its future is really cool.
This you?
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR ANY OF THIS! Here are some options:
- If you want to give a talk but don't want to deal with the
logistics of recording, I can get you on Zoom and record it.
- Don't have time to create the content for a talk? I can get you in
a Zoom and do an interview style recording. 30-60 minutes of your
time.
- Can't get permission to talk? Let's find somebody who can give the
talk, and then we can work together to ensure the content is right.
- I will feed java files into ChatGPT about the feature you love and
present it like a boss.
I recommend choices 1-3.
Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your time if you got this far.

Awesome! Thank you Maxim and Carlos. DM incoming.
I have 2 hours of content between DMs and replies here if each talk is
15 minutes. This will be a great preview tour of Cassandra.next()
I say that except TCM. We still need somebody to take that on and, at
a minimum, explain what it is and how it will affect operations, etc.
If you are interested, hit me up in Slack DMs. I need to get this
locked in by the end of the week, otherwise I'm going on a recruiting
run. Alex Petrov has been the champion for this feature, but I'm just
going to assume he's completely slammed.
If I had my dream speaker for TCM, it would be somebody who knows
little about TCM, operates a lot of Cassandra, and is willing to dig
in and share what they learned.

Hello community, Patrick,
I can also prepare some PP slides (status, design, and progress) and a
short talk for:
- CQL Management API
If you can help, option 2 sounds good to me.

Hello Patrick,
Count me in!
I would like to pick either
- CQL Management API: Can we just celebrate the end of JMX hell
potentially? Who can talk about this?
Or
- SAI enhancements were recently highlighted by Caleb on the ML. This
isn't just a one-and-done feature, and its future is really cool.
What would be your timeline for this? Option 2 sounds great to me!
Cheers,
Carlos
