Hi folks, Regarding our activity on the project and the adoption of Apache Arrow, I would like to start a discussion about an Apache Arrow Meetup, gathering contributors, users and enthusiasts about Arrow generally speaking.
The idea is to have a community event, where a Selection Committee (selected by the Arrow PMC) will be in charge of the content, and we can look for sponsors for funding and/or hosting. For the format, I would propose a half day (maybe a day ?) in person. The purpose is to get together and host talks to share content about: - developers/contributors perspective on the project, roadmap on different Arrow components (spec/vector, flight, flight sql, languages/gandiva/JNI, datafusion even if datafusion is not in Arrow anymore :), ...) - share integrator use cases, sharing experience about using Arrow in products, pros/cons - share end-users experiences For the logistics, I would propose to host this Meetup in Europe, as it would be "central" for our contributors (between North America and Asia). Thoughts ? Regards JB
