Hi folks: My team and I created and managed the Planet Cassandra Meetup - a virtual monthly meetup to share Cassandra use cases, best practices, case studies, community updates, and other similar topics: https://www.meetup.com/cassandra-global/
As we have stepped back from organizing this, we're looking for one or more individuals who are interested in stepping up. In short, it would mean finding speakers and hosting the event virtually each month. You can see a detailed list of activities here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/Planet+Cassandra+Meetup It's a fun way to stay up-to-date on Cassandra and connected with the community. I'm happy to share more details if anyone is interested. In an ideal world, a couple people would collaborate to draw ideas from multiple sources and share the workload. Note: Meetup.com does incur a monthly fee of about $15/mo which I believe will remain at this legacy/lower fee. If we don't hear from anyone by Friday, Jan. 3 we plan to close the group. Any questions, just let me know. Thanks! Melissa
