Hi JB, I work for a company called Man Group. We are the PyData sponsor for London, where we have our offices. We have hosted open source hackathons and meet ups for tools such as Aeron. If London as a location could work and depending on arrangements we could offer to host the meetup and may have some budget for food and drinks ect.
Wherever it is, would be great to attend. đ All the best, Alex From: Jean-Baptiste OnofrĂ© <j...@nanthrax.net> Date: Monday, 10 March 2025 at 14:45 To: Andrew Lamb <al...@influxdata.com> Cc: dev <d...@arrow.apache.org>, Uwe L.
