Thank you to everyone who has already contributed updates to the overall project update. It is amazingly broad and is as always neat to see a bit of what each area is working on.
As a reminder, I plan to submit this report this Wednesday October 11, 2023 (my original email said October 14). If anyone has additional commentary to add, please do so by replying to this email or adding it directly to the document[1] Thanks, Andrew [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MU5cxzVuAIuDb6KXOAkwT4ze7IBGHKks_l92gxZeTbg/edit On Thu, Oct 5, 2023 at 11:53 AM Kevin Gurney <kgur...@mathworks.com.invalid> wrote: > Hi All, > > @Andrew - thanks for organizing this! > @Kou - thank you for adding notes about the MATLAB bindings! > > Sarah (Cc'd) and I added a few more details about progress on the MATLAB > bindings. > > Best Regards, > > Kevin Gurney > > ________________________________________ > From: Sutou Kouhei <k...@clear-code.com> > Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2023 5:49 PM > To: dev@arrow.apache.org > Subject: Re: [CROWDSOURCING] 2023 ASF Board Report -- October 11, 2023 > > Hi Andrew, > > Thanks for preparing this!
