I can attend -- thank you for organizing @NGA-TRAN

How about Nov 12 or Nov 13?

50.0.0 should be released by then, I propose @alamb gives a talk about the history of DataFusion that includes the most important milestones

Just a note that I'm planning to attend this! If there's any interest, I'd be happy to talk about how we're integrating DataFusion in our stack (also equally happy to listen to others!)

[alamb]

I will be happy to do such a talk and I @paleolimbot that talk sounds great.

@NGA-TRAN is there any chance you can create a luma event page so we can start advertising this event more broadly? I can make one too if that would help

@paleolimbot, can you send me an email to alamb@influxdata.com with an email address I can use to add you to the speaker coordinating doc?

[NGA-TRAN]

I am creating the luma event page now
@paleolimbot thanks so much

Update on the recordings: @NGA-TRAN is working on getting clearance from DataDog to post the recording (we don't expect any problems), but has been on vacation the last few days. Once we get clearance and the recording, I will post it on youtube and leave a link here
