Agenda for this week:

4.0 Status

Thrift issues in 3.x

ApacheCon is coming in September and we need good Cassandra talks. CFP is open and ready. Progress on issues has been moving faster with an Alpha3 release. There was a proposal to outline what’s needed to move to Beta. Look to the mailing list for that. Discussion about inviting more contributors to participate in the sidecar project. Docs project is moving along nicely with some big contributions being committed.

Meeting Summary:
The community and contributors remain focussed on the 4.0 release. There was broad consensus that we want to keep working towards the 4.0 QA Test Plan and a call for contributors to sign up for major components. We also touched on a number of other process discussions and agreed to take a few discussions to the mailing list.
