Community Roundup: April 2022
We get the community together on the third Tuesday of every month. At each meetup, we discuss the Great Expectations Roadmap, watch ecosystem integration demos, and explore different ways data leaders have implemented Great Expectations. Sign up here to join the next one!
Now, let's dive into the roundup.
Roadmap Update
We covered:
Nearly tripling the number of Expectations in our gallery
Why we dropped support for Python 3.6
How Data Assistants make it easier than ever before to create and discover new Expectations

What you can expect in the rest of Q2
And more!
