Thanks for putting this together, Arina.
The Drill Developer Day and Meetup were separate events, so you can split
them up.
- A half day Drill Developer Day was held on Nov 14. A variety of
technical design issues were discussed.
- A Drill user meetup was held on the same evening. 2 presentations -
one on use case for Drill and one about indexing support in Drill were
presented.
Rest of the report LGTM.
