Hi everyone, I have been working closely with Gris Cuevas to develop a framework to increase transparency on how Google Open Source supports community-led events. Below you will find a table that identifies different event goals, community roles, and the type of support Google Open Source can offer in each case.
If you would like to request support from Google for your meetup, please follow the meetup support request process <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mT5RVdyo_g19O-6LFtXb0H2Z5OXZ9_BLtDIho4Q3b7I/edit#heading=h.b44lcgnpxffu>. Can someone help me put this information, along with the support framework below, under the Community tab [1] of the Apache Beam website? We look forward to continuing partnering with our community organizers to help Beam grow even more! If you have any questions, please let me know.
