I think a separate mailing list for just ticket creation would be nice as well. I think that’s what many of us filter down the commits@ list to. That doesn’t have to happen in place of the proposed change but would make it easier for people to follow new issue creation. From there I go to and

Like many difficult problems, it is easier to point them out than to suggest improvements. Anyway, I wasn't proposing we change the mechanisms of communication, just excusing my simplification of (my view of) the problem to avoid ending up in a quagmire on that topic. This is a great example of e

I think all complex, nuanced and especially emotive topics are challenging to discuss over textual media, due to things like the attention span of your readers, the difficulties in structuring your text, and especially the hoops that have to be jumped through to minimise the potential for misinterp

This was very much not my intention to imply. I thought I had crafted the email carefully to not imply that at all. This topic is complex, and fully exploring all of the detail would be onerous over email. DataStax, in my opinion, consciously tries to be a good citizen. However there are emerge

I don't know about everyone else, but a big deterrent in contributing code to Cassandra for me (over the last 4 years or so) is the massive amount of ramp up that needs to happen in order to get started working on something meaningful. This comes in a variety of forms - understanding how test fail

While i agree with this generally, it's misleading. It comes across like Datastax is dictating and excluding others from participating, or perhaps discouraging others or whatever. The truth is, whenever someone comes along who is independent, and interested in developing Apache Cassandra, the

This is a much more useful focusing of the discussion, in my opinion. It seemed to me that city hall was focusing on a very narrow definition of project health. I would be the first to say the project need to improve here, but doing so will be challenging; I'm not sure anyone really knows how to

Yesterday, it was suggested on #cassandra-dev that when 3.9 is ready for release, we release 3.8 with the same code base. My plan is to force push the contents of cassandra-3.9 branch to the cassandra-3.8 branch, updating the version appropriately, so we can build/test from the 3.8 branch, as usual

I agree with Benedict that we really shouldn't be getting into a legalese debate on this subject, however "it didn't happen" has been brought up as a hammer in this conversation multiple times, and I think it's important that we put it to rest. It's pretty clear cut that projects are free to disre

Unfortunately when rulebooks are consulted to shape this kind of discussion, their ambiguity begins to show. What does it mean for something "to happen" on a mailing list? It must be a loose interpretation, because clearly many things do not "happen" on the mailing list, such as all of the code d

Re: A proposal to move away from Jira-centric development

While all of these things are true, it's irrelevant. The ASF has a clear policy on this (the "it didn't happen" policy). Discussions and decisions about the project must be done on the mailing lists. You may disagree with the policy (as many have before you) and feel free to take it up with the
