Corrected a typo below - thanks! Hey everyone, as we are starting to prepare for our 2 biggest community events of the year, Beam College and Beam Summit, we are looking for a few volunteers to help with each event. For each event, we have the following needs:
*Beam College:* We need instructors for various sessions across 3 tracks. These talks can be live on April 22/23 or recorded ahead of time. Our tracks are: 1. Beginner: basics of writing a Beam pipeline. Example sessions could include: authoring your first pipeline, a high level overview of what Beam is and how it can be used, or how to use Beam Yaml. 2. Tips & Tricks: practical ways to use Beam to solve Data processing problems. Example sessions could include: How we use Beam to do XYZ thing, using State and Timers, managing exceptions in Beam. 3. New Features: new things added in Beam in the last year or 2. Example sessions could include: what's new in the ML space, how to use IcebergIO features, or how Beam is moving CDC forward If you're interested in participating, please reply to this email. If you have a specific track or talk you'd like to help with, please include that information. We are trying to finalize the program by next Wednesday (Feb 4), so please let me know as soon as you can! *Beam Summit:* We are looking for people to help organize the event. Typically we need help sourcing or selecting speakers, designing the program, helping promote the event and find sponsors, or managing event logistics. If you're interested in helping with part of this, please reply to this email.
