Welcome / Introductions

Brief introductory remarks, thank to the sponsor, outline of the day, participant introductions (name, github handle, optional affiliation, optional reason you came to the meetup)

Talks

Call for Presenters: 10-15 minute low key introduction to your project/product, how you use OpenDAL, and any thoughts you may have about what, found challenging, and any things you are working on / thinking about

• @tisonkun about OpenDAL Community Growth
• @Xuanwo about OpenDAL Core 1.0
• @WenyXu for using OpenDAL in GreptimeDB
• @wcy-fdu for using OpenDAL in RisingWave
• @drmingdrmer for using OpenDAL in OpenRaft

Breakouts / Discussions

The idea is that we will break into small groups for 3 x 20 minute sessions. I will ring a gong or something similar every 20 minutes and you should find a new group to discuss.

Potential seed topics (but obviously feel free to discuss anything):

• How do we make it easier for people to build systems on OpenDAL? What are the current barriers to community growth as you see them?
• How do we make it easier for people to contribute back to OpenDAL? What are the current barriers to contribution
• What features would you like to see / not see

Ideally, in each session, one or more people would volunteer to write up any insights they got from the discussions, and post them to the overall ticket.

This proposal inspired a lot by March 2024 Austin TX DataFusion Meetup before Data Council Meetup Agenda
