Hi Andrew Yes, that's a good point. I would like to evaluate two options: - working with partners who can help on the hosting (I'm in touch with Modern Data Stack group, Big Data Paris, etc) - colocate the Arrow/DataFusion meetup/summit (depending on the length) with another event (it's something we did in the past for ApacheCon Europe where we colocated with Berlin Buzzwords).
Let me do some pings :) I will get back to you with the possible options. Thanks !
