hi folks, The kind folks at https://zulipchat.com/ have offered free hosting to our not-for-profit organization Ursa Labs
https://ursalabs.zulipchat.com The Arrow developer mailing list is the primary mode of communication for development work and project governance, but we may set up various automated notifications and help stay organized and on top of things (failing builds, and anything time sensitive / procedural). We're setting up some physical hardware (some of which was recently donated by NVIDIA and the rest supported by our other sponsors) to run automated Arrow tests and benchmarks so these notifications may also get sent to the chat system. There won't be anything particularly private on this server, and any pertinent development discussions will be taken to the mailing list or JIRA. However: I wanted to extend an open invitation to any Arrow developers who wish to be a member of the chat server. Please send me your e-mail address off-list and I will send you an invite. If you are a user and have questions about the Apache Arrow project, this chat server is not for you, please use user@ or dev@. See also the discussion that led to the decommissioning of the Arrow Slack instance last year (RIP): https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/8433cda04dc9e1d6bb235e4f29bde30d07c3e5d81177af785af177f2@%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E Thank you, Wes
