Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sustaining Apache Arrow and Parquet: The Arctos Alliance with Alex Scammon
Q: If a company depends on Arrow and Parquet and wants to get involved, what does it need to do?
Scammon recommends visiting the Arctos Alliance website, learning about its work, and contacting people on the team to discuss how the technology is used and how to support it.
Sustaining Apache Arrow and Parquet: The Arctos Alliance with Alex Scammon
Q: Why did you create the Arctos Alliance instead of hiring the maintainers into G-Research?
Scammon wanted Arrow and Parquet protected from dependence on any one company, including G-Research, and wanted other organizations to contribute funding and have a voice in the community.
GitProxy and the MLH fellowship with Juan Escalada
Q: What fellowship project or contribution still sticks with you and why?
Juan explains that DevRel and marketing for developers, plus the production of a broader impact through traffic and stars, was formative. He emphasizes that fellowship work often stretches beyond code into governance, outreach, and community-building, which can have long-lasting effects on career trajectory.
OpenStack Ironic and the MLH Fellowship with CID
Q: How did the MLH Fellowship shape the way you collaborate on code, and what advice would you give to someone applying or reapplying after a rejection?
He stresses intentional onboarding, collaboration on a shared demo project, the importance of reviews, and prioritizing storytelling and personal narrative alongside technical skills when applying to fellowships.
OpenStack Ironic and the MLH Fellowship with CID
Q: What background and projects are you involved with, and how did you come to this work?
