[Xuefu Zhang]

Hi all,

I'm very excited to announce that the community is planning the next meetup
in Bay Area on March 25, 2019. The event is just announced on Meetup.com
[1].

To make the event successful, your participation and help will be needed.
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
opportunity to share experience or development. Thus, please let me know if
you like to give a short talk.

I look forward to meeting you all in the Meetup.

Regards,
Xuefu

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
<https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Apache-Flink-Meetup/events/258975465>.

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

Hi all,

As an update, this meetup will take place at 505 Brannan St · San Francisco,
CA
<https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Pinterest%2C+505+Brannan+St%2C+San+Francisco%2C+CA%2C+94107%2C+us&query_place_id=ChIJb7GKw9V_j4ARC57mzICRckw>.
Many thanks to Pinterest for their generosity of hosting the event.

At the same time, I'd like to solicit for your help on the following:

1. RSVP at the meetup page if you're attending.
2. Submit your talk if you like to share.
3. Spread the word via all means.

As the meetup will occur right at the time when the open source communities
gather around Strata Data Conference
<https://conferences.oreilly.com/strata/strata-ca> and Flink Forward SF
<https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/register>, this event is hoped to be a
great opportunity to reach out and get involved.

Your kind of assistance is greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Xuefu

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
