Hi Andrew & Kumar,

Andrew thank you for confirming the information is still accurate. I was trying to send that email as a question/point out my own confusion, I hope the tone wasn’t harsh. I’ll make a calendar event on my side.

Kumar, thank you for the Google link. The Parquet, Arrow, & Iceberg communities have iCal links that can add a calendar to your Gmail or Apple calendar. So I was looking for something similar and just sent the previous email to make sure I didn’t miss something simple.

Hi Kurtis,

> Is there a calendar invite for community syncs?

I don't know of any calendar invite.

> When I checked
https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/communication.html I found
this doc link
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NBpkIAuU7O9h8Br5CbFksDhX-L9TyO9wmGLPMe0Plc8
 which I just realized said the meeting notes were no longer updated,

That google doc has the correct information, namely

> The Apache DataFusion Community meeting is held every Wednesday at 11:00
a.m. Eastern Time, which is 16:00 UTC during Eastern Standard Time and
15:00 UTC during Eastern Daylight Time.

Yes it seems no one has taken notes at the sync for a while. I started
taking notes a few weeks ago because about 10 people regularly on the call,
Matt is no longer MC'ing, and we have topics of general interest. I seem to
have put the notes into a different document for last two weeks. I have
moved them into the public one now

> but I initially read as the sync was no longer happening.

Yes, I can see how that would be the case. I am sorry for that and
hopefully we can keep the notes more updated going forward

Re: Notes from Sync Call 2026-09-16

Posted by ku...@gmail.com.
Hi Andrew & Datafusion Community,

Is there a calendar invite for community syncs? When I checked https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/communication.html I found this doc link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NBpkIAuU7O9h8Br5CbFksDhX-L9TyO9wmGLPMe0Plc8 which I just realized said the meeting notes were no longer updated, but I initially read as the sync was no longer happening.

Best Regards,
Kurtis Wright
