DISCUSSION: DataFusion Meetup in Seattle WA

[alamb]

After our first meetup, (see #8152 / #8522) I have heard there may be interest in other meetups in different geographies.

I would personally love to support such meetups (will promote, try to attend, can help find sponsors, etc) as much as possible but I don't have the bandwidth to actually organize them.

Anyone who is interested in attending or helping to organize please leave a comment

I'll be traveling to Seattle on October 14th (Mon) and 15th (Tue). How about planning a meetup on Monday Oct 14th?

FYI @westonpace @sadboy and @viirya who I think are all in this general area

[westonpace]

Indeed. I'm in Olympia and can make a day trip to Seattle pretty much whenever.

Glad to support this meetup in October if that helps, eh?!
