*Definintely* not limited to existing committers. Indeed, the whole purpose of this is to bring in new contributors, get them to meet existing community members, and get more engaged. If stuff gets done, that’s a nice side effect. We’ll save a spot for you.

Hey Rich,

Thanks for the opportunity! I *might* be the only Superset Committer/PMC attending, but if anyone else seeing this is going, HOLLER!

Not sure if other random attendees would be interested in hacking on Superset, but I’m sure game if you think they are. If not, I’m happy to sit there hacking on my own and/or work on the fledgling project (or perhaps sprouting project, in a post-feather ASF) that Jarek is spinning up… but that’s a whole other topic :D

If anyone here is indeed interested, ping me directly or on this list with some ideas, and we’ll get our game together.
