AI Summary

Hi All,

As we plan to host a Databricks user group meetup event at our office in SIPCOT-Siruseri in September/October, we want to explore ways to revitalize our Chennai User Group community. We’ve noticed there hasn’t been much activity recently, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can change that.

Discussion Points:

  • What topics and activities would you like to see at our upcoming meetups?

  • How can we foster a more active and engaging community year-round?

  • Are there any challenges or barriers you’ve experienced in participating with the user group?

  • What value do you hope to gain from being part of this community, and how can we help deliver that?

  • What support and collaboration we can expect from Databricks for the community events?

Your input is invaluable in shaping a vibrant and meaningful community experience. Let’s make some noise together!

Hi Natarajan,

Thanks for starting this discussion! The Databricks Chennai community is hosting several online user group events, and we are currently planning another virtual session for September.

Due to some recent community revamping, you might have missed the latest updates, but you should receive the September event notification shortly.

Regards,

Harun

Hi Harun, Since the events page did not mention about any such, thought of posting a message here.
