I am (almost) back from vacation - but I thought maybe then we should do it **slightly** differently (and better). Rich - I am quite sure you will love this idea.
We have the Airflow Summit next week. And we are all there. Same time zone (Pacific Time), same place (seattle, Hyatt). We could likely find a place to connect with Rich, and likely arrange it as **live from the Summit" - and we could then arrange a group of us sitting together in front of a camera with the Airflow Summit banner behind us or smth. And on top of just talking about Airflow 3.0 - we could share impressions from the Summit happening. That would be even more powerful when it comes to the collaboration, team spirit, Airflow 3, Airflow Summit and so on. I think maybe Thursday lunch time (?) might be a good idea - Airflow Summit will be ALMOST over and most of us will be maybe tired but also with most of our Summit duties done and with heads full of impressions. And we will have time to prepare and test it before Rich - WDYT? Would you be able to find time on Thu lunch time (we have lunch break 1pm - 2pm (Pacific Time)? Another option is Wed 5.30pm, or maybe (if there will be no other options and might be painful - we could likely do it in the morning Thu - we start at 9.15 - so it would have to be 8.30). Possibly we can arrange other times as well if there are no other options. J.
