[ANN] Countdown to XTDB v2 - Pre-Launch Events

[refset]

We're fast approaching the moment where we flip the switch to making v2 "Generally Available" (GA) software - this means a stable API and storage format that we're prepared to support for a long time.

Up to this point we've recommended against trying to adopt and use v2 unless you're collaborating closely with our team as a Design Partner, but GA means we'll always be ready to help support you on your otherwise independent journey with the database. We are committed to making XTDB an open source success and look forward to seeing what people end up building in the wild!

Leading up to that moment where we flip the GA switch, we are arranging a series of informal Discord chats to celebrate the ideas and projects that have led to v2 becoming what it is today. We will be updating this page regularly over the next few weeks, so please check back again soon to not miss out on new entries:
