<div>Dear Apps enthusiasts,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the era of big data, efficient storage and fast retrieval or large datasets are crucial. It is then no surprise that the Apache Parquet, one of most efficient data storage formats, is gaining popularity in astronomy applications.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, we are aware of several efforts to adopt the format within the IVOA and we’d like to organize a general discussion with all the interested parties prior to the upcoming Interop. If you’d like to attend the meeting, please indicate your availability
at <a href="https://www.when2meet.com/?27151731-6Q1Ul">https://www.when2meet.com/?27151731-6Q1Ul</a> in order to allow us to pick the most suitable time. We’ll keep the poll open for 3 days and get back with the details of the meeting before the end of this
week. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Pierre and Adrian</div>
