Hive meetup 2021 March

Hey all!

We haven't had a Hive meetup for quite some time....which doesn't mean we didn't done anything; it's entirely the opposite! We have lot of things happening both right now and in the past....we could do some catching up!

So I would like to invite you to our (first?) online Hive meetup! It will be held on March 17. 17:00 UTC

The agenda will be something like this:

We will start with a short welcome ~10 minutes.
Then there will be a few talks:

• Zoltán Haindrich: Running Hive tests on kubernetes (30~45 minutes)
• Adrian Woodhead, Laszlo Pinter / Marton Bod / Peter Vary: Iceberg integration ( 30 minutes)
• Adrian Woodhead: Future releases (or plans), more regular cadence of these; How to make Hive a more welcoming project for new contributors, specifically

With this last topic we will probably naturally transition into discussions about how to make things better in general/etc

We could use github discussions to propose/vote on questions/etc - we'll see how it works :D
