In this talk we’ll provide an overview of the current and upcoming developments in the Apache Beam Runners. Based off that, we will look into new use cases and patterns. Finally, we want to brainstorm about new items for the roadmap, and encourage users and developers to share their ideas.

Gris Cuevas shares some statistics about the state of D&I at the Apache Software Foundation and also the initiative the foundation is taking to make projects more diverse and inclusive.

Non-code contributions, like project and community management, are essential to the healthy function of an Open Source project, however often times, they contributors who take on these tasks arent recognized nor made part of the key decision makers in a project.
