Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] March 2019 Bay Area Apache Flink Meetup

2019-06-20 Thread Robert Metzger
Hey Xuefu,
thanks a lot for organizing the Bay Area Flink Meetup.

For others following this email thread, here is the (deep) link to the
event: https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Apache-Flink-Meetup/events/262216929/


I see that only 19 people have RSVPed so far. In my experience, it's
possible to attract much larger audiences in the Bay Area.

I noticed a few things with that meetup
a) It is not present on Twitter at all. If you or one other meetup
organizer could tweet about it, I would retweet it from @ApacheFlink (which
has a lot of reach) (ideally we tweet about it after we fix b) )
b) the description page doesn't look very inviting. Do you have talk
abstracts of the speakers? Will there be food or drinks provided?

Best,
Robert

Hi all,

This is a kind reminder that our next Flink meetup will be a couple of
weeks away. This is the opportunity to share experience or gain insights,
or just get socialized in the community.

RSVP is required, which can be done at the meetup webpage
.

We are still finalizing the location. If you know any company could host,
please kindly let me know. Also, we can still accommodate a couple of
talks. Please also let me know if you present a talk.

Thanks,
Xuefu

Currently, we are looking for an organization that can host the event.
Please let me know if you have any leads.

Secondly, we encourage Flink users and developers to take this as an
