Hi everyone, my name is María Cruz, I am from Buenos Aires but I live in the Bay Area. I recently became acquainted with Apache Beam project, and I got a chance to meet some of the Beam community at Apache Con North America this past September. I'm testing out a communications framework <https://medium.com/@marianarra_/designing-a-communications-framework-for-community-engagement-e087312f9b83> for Open Source communities. I'm emailing the list now because I'd like to work on a communications strategy for Beam, to make the most of the content you produce during Beam Summits.
A little bit more about me. I am a communications strategist with 11 years of experience in the field, 8 of which are in the non-profit sector. I started working in Open Source in 2013, when I joined Wikimedia, the social movement behind Wikipedia. I now work to support Google Open Source projects, and I also volunteer in the communications team of the Apache Software Foundation, working closely with Sally (for those of you who know her). I will be sending the list a proposal in the coming days. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, María
