DISCUSSION: DataFusion Meetup in China

[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

greptimedb use the datafusion deeply, I think we can find co-meetup to introduce the datafusion in china

[waynexia]

Sounds fascinating! I'm very willing to help and attend.

IIRC @yahoNanJing (and others) from ebay also uses datafusion/ballista internally, do you have interest in this?

I think @liukun4515 (who also spoke at an ASF conference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJU9rdRNk9I about DataFusion) may also be part of that team / have some ideas

[waynexia]
