Hi everyone, The next Parquet footer sync is today Thursday Jun 11th at 10am PT - 1pm ET - 7pm CET (in ~1h).
To join the invite, please subscribe to the Parquet calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=OTU2YjU0NGRlMGM5MjEwYTZlYzg1OWNhMGNjYTViMTZjNjhlYmRkNmJjYmY0ZmRlNGIzZjFjZTE5MzUwZGU2NkBncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t Video call link: https://meet.google.com/fix-tsgt-ssd Best, Jiayi Jiayi Wang <[email protected]> 于2026年6月9日周二 21:40写道： > Hi Antoine, > > Thank you for pointing this out. I agree with your concern. > > My intention was not to make decisions during sync calls and only report > them afterward. I understand that for a foundational design such as a new > Parquet footer, the mailing list should be the primary place where design > discussions, trade-offs, objections, and decisions happen, so that everyone > can participate asynchronously. > > I will make sure that any sync calls are used only for clarification, > gathering input, and brainstorming, and that no binding decisions are made > there. For anything substantial, I will summarize the discussion on the > mailing list, raise the concrete proposal there, and leave enough time for > feedback before considering a decision. > > Thanks for the reminder! > > To clarify the agenda for next sync session: last time, we proposed > establishing a set of footer examples that perform poorly under the current > spec. These examples would serve as evaluation cases for the new footer > design. In the upcoming session, we will review the proposed footer > examples and brainstorm additional scenarios or ideas. After that, we will > bring the summary, examples, and open questions to the official mailing > list for review and further input from the community. > > I hope this addresses your concerns. > > Best, > Jiayi > > Antoine Pitrou <[email protected]> 于2026年6月9日周二 16:23写道： > >> >> Hello Jiayi, >> >> Le 09/06/2026 à 11:24, Jiayi Wang a écrit : >> > >> > Please note that all decisions will be communicated publicly via the >> > mailing list, and I will also keep the mailing list updated on progress. >> >> This is good, but I don't think it's sufficient. >> >> The "Apache Way" stresses Open Communications: >> >> """as a virtual organization, the ASF requires all communications >> related to code and decision-making to be publicly accessible to ensure >> asynchronous collaboration, as necessitated by a globally-distributed >> community.""" >> >> (from https://www.apache.org/theapacheway/) >> >> Making decisions during sync video calls does not allow for asynchronous >> collaboration.
