Apache Arrow Tutorial at VLDB

[Emanuel Zgraggen <em...@mit.edu>]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but I though I'd
give it a shot:

I'm a postdoc in MIT's database group and I'm co-organizing a workshop on
Big Data Open Source Systems (http://boss.dima.tu-berlin.de/) at this years
VLDB in Los Angeles. VLDB is one of the leading academic conferences on
data management and database research (http://vldb.org/2019/).

We are still looking for a few folks to give tutorials at the workshop and
I was wondering if someone from the Arrow dev community would be interested
in doing such a tutorial on Arrow?

Apache Arrow has gained quite some interest in the academic community
(including us here at MIT) and I think it would be great for more people to
learn about it.

Best,
Emanuel

hi Emanuel,

I'd be interested in participating in the workshop (and attending VLDB
generally). How long would the tutorial / presentation be expected to
be? There might others from the community who could help out with
preparing materials.

Thanks,
Wes
