We have created a group on Meetup.com to use for organizing in-person Arrow meetups around the world.
The first meetup will be on November 1 in NYC: https://www.meetup.com/Apache-Arrow-Meetup/events/243881693/ The meetup will be recorded and posted online later for others to watch. This event was tweeted about a few weeks ago, but should have been also posted on the mailing list. Apologies for this oversight. https://twitter.com/ApacheArrow/status/915203788276948992 Perhaps we can organize a meetup in the Bay Area later in the year (or in other cities if there is sufficient interest) Thanks Wes
