[DISCUSS] The 1st OpenDAL Meetup?

[Xuanwo]

I'm thrilled to see that the DataFusion meetup organized by @alamb was a huge success. It reminds me of the good old days when I could meet up with friends in person.

Perhaps it's time for the OpenDAL community to host a meetup. Would anyone be interested in an in-person gathering? We can share how we use OpenDAL, discuss new ideas, roadmaps, and feedback about OpenDAL too.

• Announce at: Apache OpenDAL Beijing Meetup 1st on September 14th #4938

Kudos for apache/datafusion#10340 actually belong @cpard and @emgeee for organizing. I definitely recommend face to face meetups!

[Xuanwo]

Thank you for the correct! I will learn from them for how to organize a successful event.

[cpard]

@alamb thank you for mentioning me. I have to say though that a successful meetup is always the result of team work and healthy community and we had both in the DataFusion meetup!

@Xuanwo happy to help in anyway I can, feel free to reach out to me.

Perhaps we can organize an event in Beijing in August. I can then give a session about our community growth. And here I tag some of our users to see if they'd like to give a session also:

• @WenyXu for using OpenDAL in GreptimeDB
• @wcy-fdu for using OpenDAL in RisingWave

Out of thread, maybe we can organize a meetup for DataFusion or Arrow + DataFusion also in Beijing, for the recent under-discussed arrow-udf crate: https://lists.apache.org/thread/f99tplzpz7o8rpf6yz9z6rzpm1q80tqb

It's time to travel to Beijing to report on work🤪

[Xuanwo]

Great, seems we have at least 3 sessions (including mine).

[wcy-fdu]

It’s time for a meet up. Let’s show the world OpenDAL and its use cases.

[wcy-fdu]

I am willing to go to Beijing to share the experience and insights of using OpenDAL at RisingWave.

I discussed with @BohuTANG (co-founder of @datafuselabs), who is willing to provide a venue for the meetup.

Openraft could serve as a good example of using OpenDAL as an abstraction layer to develop adaptive raft snapshot storage and facilitate transmission between leaders and followers:
