Myrle - Thanks for the offer and suggestions.
I'd like to get a bit more information on the Track development idea (can you send me a template or more details on what 'best tracks' look like?) And, Javier - let's collaborate so we have a strong offering/proposal to ApacheCon. Finally - what dates and where (sorry couldn't find it). . thanks On Fri, Jul 19, 2019, 12:36 PM Javier Borkenztain <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Myrle, thanks for bringing this up, I think this is a great idea of > getting the support of the ApacheCon.
