We’re forming a new working group to explore **alternative parallel computing frameworks to dask** , such as apache-beam/cubed/ramba.

I propose we try a **bi-weekly hour-long meeting, starting next week**. If you’re interested can you please [fill out this doodle poll](https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bmQ0423b) for times that work for you.
