Great idea！ I suggest we hold our first offline meeting in a small group, like less than 100 people.
If everything goes well, we can continue to hold a second offline meetup at the 250-seat room of Shanghai Jiaotong University. About the topic, I'm thinking of keynotes from the PPMC and speeches from > call-for-speakers, and lightning talks, whose durations are about 20-30min, > 15-20min, and 5-10min. > Here are some ideas of keynote topics: > 1.

For example, in the second meetup, We can focus on solving some college students'problems when using ECharts. Some keynote topics I thought of: 1、Open source status of ECharts 2、Iteration Plans for next version 3、How to design your chart -- Junting Wang Ovilia <oviliazh...@gmail.com> 于2019年9月18日周三 下午8:24写道： > That's great news!
