The biggest event in our community is undoubtedly the Cassandra Summit, which took place this year in September at the San Jose’s Convention Center.
The Last Pickle team was there of course and we gave no less than 17 talks during this edition, covering a wide range of topics from introduction to advanced operations.

While in Sydney I got the opportunity to catch up with some Australian Cassandra users at the Sydney Cassandra Meetup. Adoption down under has been a bit behind the ball. That seems to be changing with the presence of DataStax and InstaClustr, and a catching on of the global trend in finances and the top-end of businesses.

Last night, I spoke at Seattle Area Cassandra Meetup delivering the latest version of my securing cassandra talk. Unfortunately, giving this talk reminds of the evangelizing I did in the early days of Apache Cassandra. System security topics, much like explaining “distributed systems” to the average Java developer back in 2010, tend to give most people glazed expressions.

The whole TLP team had a great week at the Cassandra Summit in Santa Clara last week. Between us we have attended every Cassandra conference in the world, and this was by far the biggest and most inspiring.

Recently, we got invited to speak at StampedeCon, a “Big Data conference series” hosted at Washington University in St. Louis. It had been a while since I’d presented, but I was really looking forward to this as it brought me back to one of the things I like to do most which is evangelize Apache Cassandra to new users.
