Thank you all so much for the warm reception of Cascade at @dnsoarc 45.
Let’s make this awesome together!
The alpha release of our DNSSEC signer that is now available is the result of our initial research among 16 TLDs. It is intended to be a starting point, offering an opportunity for you to tell us what you like and what needs work, what you need that's still missing, etc. Nothing is set in stone!
You can reach out about core functionality, user interaction, ops requirements or anything else that on your mind, in several ways:
Create an issue on GitHub:

I had a great time in Stockholm, at the Internetstiftelsen hackathon and DNS-OARC. Great presentations, lots of things to bring back home and work on and, most of all, talk to so many nice people. It's really great to be part of this community.
Thanks Stockholm DNS Week, you’ve been amazing! Now back to the @nlnetlabs office to turn our plans and your wishes into reality.
