+100 to Kaxil's lovely email summary. I could not be more proud of the Airflow Community and I am honored to be part of it!
Jarek sent out the email starting the discussion about Airflow towards the end of April, and in the three months since we have discussed, debated, and finally aligned on a set of around 15 AIPs targeting Airflow 3, which is just amazing! This is such a huge jump for Airflow, which I strongly believe will have a massive impact on the data space as a whole. I am inspired by the collaboration and camaraderie in the Community and looking forward to the next few months as we switch to 3.0 execution. I am sure it will be both fun and challenging :) Have a great weekend you all.
