Google DP Open Source Newsletter. Welcome to our second newsletter! We’re excited to report on some progress we’ve made over the last quarter and share some news about our upcoming OSS plans. Feel free to reach out and be part of the discussion, either on our new public mailing list at dp-open-so...@googlegroups.com or privately to our team at dp-open...@google.com. Looking back at Q1 In Q1 we open sourced the ZetaSQL implementation. We hope that this will help developers develop new SQL engines with differential privacy.  We also included Quantile support in Java&Go. Privacy on Beam had a busy quarter! We launched pbeamtest, which makes it easier to write tests for your Privacy on Beam pipelines by turning off the noise with or without contribution bounding.  Looking Forward Community Event This week, we will be hosting a community event around our recent OSS updates, and will host a Q&A. Check-out the details here Java We are hoping to OSS quantile support for confidence intervals. We might be able to release an improved algorithm for automatic per-partition bounds approximation, however this could also happen in Q3.  DP Accounting We are OSS’ing the C++ accounting library Go During Q2, we hope to release a variance and standard deviation algorithm in our Go library Privacy on Beam Look out for our QuantilesPerKey release very soon! Have a great spring! Yours in differential privacy, Anonymization team at Google
