Recurring free evening community meetups for the Apache DataFusion query engine, listed under 'Community Events' on the DataFusion docs. Each event has a GitHub discussion in apache/datafusion and (from mid-2024) a Luma signup page; typically 3-7 lightning talks of 10-15 minutes, usually recorded and posted to YouTube. Andrew Lamb (InfluxData, DataFusion PMC chair) co-organizes most events with local hosts, who often provide the venue (Datadog in NYC/Boston, Chroma and LangChain in San Francisco, Databricks in Bellevue, Funnel in Stockholm, Microsoft in Belgrade, Xomnia in Amsterdam); venue hosts are recorded in edition notes, not as sponsors. One edition per event; id suffix is the city, plus the month where a city repeats within a year. Not recorded: the 2025-01-22 'Datadog Apache DataFusion Community Meeting' listed on the events page (a Datadog-run community meeting linked to LinkedIn rather than a GitHub discussion/Luma page; not researched). No dedicated social accounts.
