June 23 virtual conference to highlight work in the Arrow ecosystem

[Wes McKinney <we...@gmail.com>]

hi all,

My employer (Voltron Data) is organizing a free virtual conference on
June 23 to highlight development work and usage of Apache Arrow — you
can register for this or apply to give a talk here:

https://thedatathread.com/

We are especially interested in hearing from users (as opposed to only
project developers/contributors!) about how they are using Arrow in
their downstream applications. If you would be interested in speaking
(talks will be pre-recorded, so you don't need to be available on June
23), please apply to give a short talk (~15 min) on the website!

Thanks,
Wes

The deadline for applying to speak at the June 23 event has passed. We
plan to do more events like this in the future so I expect there will
be more opportunities to speak.

Hi,

Is the event still open for submitting talks? If so, I'd like to talk about
how we use Arrow in Cylon for distributed memory parallel computations.

Great news!

Actually I wonder if it would be also possible to organize some non-virtual
events later in the summer?

I would personally find it very interesting

Super neat, saw the announcement post on Twitter and signed up the other
day!

If folks would find it interesting, I could do a short talk on a
use-case for FlightSQL (and Substrait)
The gist of it is having a central API that allows users/vendors to write
"plugins" to register new data sources:

You lose a lot of the benefits of Arrow in the serialization to JSON, but
FlightSQL as a specification is a great language-agnostic way to share
schema metadata and handle queries.
With Substrait you get a spec for expressing data compute operations as
well, so you can have things solved on both the "tell me what you have" and
"give me what you have" fronts.

(Have to wait for write operations in Substrait though, for full
functionality)
