Over the last few months I worked with many leaders in the open-source data space to put together a community day on Oct. 21 at IBM TechXchange 2024, IBM's developer conference. I'm beyond thrilled with the agenda and even more excited to get so many of the OS data community together in Las Vegas! 🙌

If you want to get started or dive into some of the most popular projects in open-source data, this will be a great event to attend. The lineup (it's long!) includes:

👉 Apache Arrow, the columnar memory format software framework, from Matt Topol, Voltron Data

👉 Apache #Gluten, a plugin for Spark that improves its performance, from creator binwei yang
