DISCUSSION: Q1 2025 DataFusion Meetup in London

[oznur-synnada]

Hi all,

After the success of the meetups in Belgrade and Amsterdam, we think it’d be great to discuss having our next meetup in London this time - possibly around late March-early April. Things we need to clarify are:

• Venue: Is there anyone who can help us find a venue or organize a partnership?
• Talks: We need help with arranging the content and speakers, who’d be willing to participate? @alamb we’d appreciate your input.

We'd love to hear your ideas or suggestions.

Maybe @a10y or @AdamGS might be interested (I think they are in London at least sometimes)

There are also some InfluxData people in England, such as @mhilton who maybe would be interested in partiticipating

Maybe @tustvold knows of some local people who might come too 🤔

[alamb]

Maybe I remember @milenkovicm and/or @blaginin are close too

it would be great if it can be Friday so we get weekend in London as well

We can prioritize Friday but it'll also depend on the venue or our organization partner

I'm keen 👍

I'd love to come, also happy to sponsor and help find a venue.

We (@spiraldb) started putting together an event as part of London System and will be glad to combine efforts! We're currently thinking about the 26th, and are glad to provide a space andpizza and at least on speaker.
