Hi Alex Thanks ! It looks like we have several options available ;)
By the way, for everyone, we have a constraint: we can't organize an Apache project event 3 weeks around CommunityOverCode. This year, CommunityOverCode will be 11-14 September 2025, in Minneapolis. So, it means that Arrow Meetup can't be in September. As proposed, let me draft a document that I will share here and where everyone can contribute on.
