It sounds like there are enough people to make it worth organizing at least a few.
I would be happy to organize a zoom meeting to facilitate this. Previously the schedule was every other Wednesday at 12 Noon Eastern Time, which I realize may be a tough time for some, especially those in Asia. Could people please respond with their preference: A) 4:00 UTC A) 10:00 UTC B) 16:00 UTC D) 22:00 UTC Thanks, Andrew On Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 6:07 AM Yijie Shen <henry.yijies...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have received a lot of great help since I started working on DataFusion. > It will be fantastic to have an opportunity to communicate with community > members "face to face". > > Best, > Yijie > > On 2021/09/17 03:58:10 QP Hou wrote: > > I would be interested in meeting with more contributors "face to face" > > and chime in to help move these major initiatives forward in any way I > > can :) > > > > -- > > QP > > > > On Thu, Sep 16, 2021 at 6:55 AM Rémi Dettai <rdet...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > I am also very interested in re-instoring these events, at least > > > occasionally. > > > > > > I do think that sharing some higher level goals and ideas in more > *informal > > > *discussions could help us understand each other better in our > asynchronous > > > work (design documents, issues, PRs). > > > > > > I also agree that no decision should be taken during these calls.
