Thank you all for your response. I'm looking forward to our first community meeting on March 11th at 8 AM PST, and please note that DST starts on March 10th. I have created a short link for the meeting: *https://aka.ms/xtable-community-sync <https://aka.ms/xtable-community-sync>,* but it is currently inactive. I will test and activate it before the meeting.
