[timsaucer]

I am interested in attending and there are a few topics I could present on, depending on what time we have available.

[jonmmease]

What kinds of talks are you looking for? I may be available to give one on how VegaFusion uses DataFusion.

[leoDYL]

We're looking for a variety of topics with the theme of reflecting on the 50 releases of DataFusion! Seems VegaFusion has been using DataFusion for a while so it might be interesting to also reflect upon how your experience has evolved, what are things we could further improve upon, etc. I'll ping you on discord

I’d love to give a talk on DataFusion/Vortex stuff! Specifically, how DataFusion’s extensibility was hugely useful for bootstrapping, building/testing, & benchmarking a new file format :)

[leoDYL]

That would be amazing!

[kylebarron]

As long as I'm in town I'll attend! I might be able to present on geospatial support for DataFusion, but it's in pretty early stages and who knows what state it'll be in by August/September 🙂

[adriangb]

I think I'd be able to attend and would love to present on dynamic filter pushdown work

[leoDYL]

I'll get in touch!

Will it be recorded?
unfortunately I'm not living in NY (or even the US) but I would like to watch/attend in remote

[alamb]

Yes, it was recorded. I will post here when we have the recording available online.

BTW if you are interested in hosting a DataFusion meetup (basically help find a venue) somewhere else I would be very happy to assist in helping find speakers and attendees.
