[Gengliang Wang]

Dear Apache Spark community,

We are delighted to announce the launch of a groundbreaking tool that aims
to make Apache Spark more user-friendly and accessible - the English SDK
. Powered by the application
of Generative AI, the English SDK
 allows you to execute
complex tasks with simple English instructions. This exciting news was
announced
recently at the Data+AI Summit
 and also introduced
through a detailed blog post

.

Now, we need your invaluable feedback and contributions. The aim of the
English SDK is not only to simplify and enrich your Apache Spark experience
but also to grow with the community. We're calling upon Spark developers
and users to explore this innovative tool, offer your insights, provide
feedback, and contribute to its evolution.

You can find more details about the SDK and usage examples on the GitHub
repository https://github.com/databrickslabs/pyspark-ai/. If you have any
feedback or suggestions, please feel free to open an issue directly on the
repository. We are actively monitoring the issues and value your insights.

We also welcome pull requests and are eager to see how you might extend or
refine this tool. Let's come together to continue making Apache Spark more
approachable and user-friendly.

Yeah one day postponed shouldn't be a big deal.

Time for Spark v3.5.0 release

[Yuanjian Li]

Hi All,

According to the Spark versioning policy at
https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html, should we cut *branch-3.5*
on *July 17th, 2023*? (We initially proposed January 16th, but since it's a
Sunday, I suggest we postpone it by one day).

I would like to volunteer as the release manager for Apache Spark 3.5.0.

Best,
Yuanjian
