I'm a little late coming into this conversation, but wanted to chip in and add my +1 to the idea of working on getting Drill more exposure. Thanks Charles for taking this up! On Sun, Jun 18, 2017 at 7:58 AM, Charles Givre wrote: > All, > I’d like to thank everyone for their

Re: Drill Summit/Conference Proposal

Agree with Julian about ApacheCon being a better venue with a track (or sub-conference ?) for Drill. The size and scale of the wider conference is likely to be beneficial despite other competing Apache projects. Perhaps the schedule could be managed in such a way that the conflicts with similar

Re: Drill Summit/Conference Proposal

It’s a legitimate concern, but remember that the more “popular” platforms tend to have their own conferences already. The Apache projects with the most talks at ApacheCon were probably Beam and Spark, with 3 each. Without strong commercial backing (and a large advertising budget) DrillCon is

Re: Drill Summit/Conference Proposal

A counter point: I would be concerned that Drill would be overshadowed by more “popular” or more entrenched platforms. Drill is an excellent and somewhat unique tech that needs more exposure to grow. An event that focuses purely on Drill may have better success at that. The caveat may be that a

Re: Drill Summit/Conference Proposal

I like the idea of co-hosting a conference. ApacheCon in particular is a good venue, and they explicitly encourage sub-conferences (there are “Big Data” and “IoT” tracks, and this year there were sub-conferences for Tomcat and CloudStack). DrillCon was part of ApacheCon, people could attend a

Re: Drill Summit/Conference Proposal

Hi Bob, Good to hear from you. I agree that there could be value in having a joint Presto/Drill/Redshift conference, but how would you describe the overall theme? In essence (not looking to start a flame war here...) these tools are similar in terms of what the user experiences and I can

Re: Drill Summit/Conference Proposal

I grok this is the Drill list and I'm also a big user of Drill (and have made some UDFs) but there might be some efficacy in expanding the scope to the Presto and Redshift Spectrum communities. I'm not claiming there's 100% equivalence, but the broader view of being able to access multiple types

Drill Summit/Conference Proposal

Hello fellow Drill users and developers, I've been involved with the Drill community for some time, and I was thinking that it might be time to start exploring the idea of a Drill Summit or Conference. If you're interested, please send me a note and I'll start having some conversations about
