Re: [pdx-visualization] Re: New Data Viz Meetup!

[Nathan Bergey]

I have some really cool stuff (er, I think anyway) to show!! I'm not sure what October is like either yet: I'm working on a contract with NASA (love saying that) that might be in October but no hard dates yet. I really can't say one date is better than another but earlier us probably safer than later. Just pick as best you can for everyone and I'll do my best to be there.

I am planning on giving a talk on Mike Bostock's D3 library:

   http://mbostock.github.com/d3/

which is a declarative way to map data to DOM elements, so you can
very easily make complex visualizations for the web with what you
already know: HTML, SVG, and CSS.

Also, I've been invited to speak at Clojure Conj on using D3 from
ClojureScript:

   http://keminglabs.com/cljs-d3/

so if people are interested I can talk a bit about the relative merits
of JavaScript & Clojure too.

Let me know if you have a preference for what you want to hear about.

Okay, stuff moved to November so October freed up! I'll see you all there!

If there is time I would like to talk about my open source tool chain (mostly python and bender) for my recent rocket data viz:

Perfect! Excited to add you to the list! 

We have room for one more speaker, if anyone knows someone who would like to speak!

Nathan, could you also talk about ISS-Notify and bring one to the meeting? I'm sure everyone would like to see an exciting example of data viz in real life! 

Best, 

Amber

Oh right. Duh. Of course!! I'm a bit frazzled still I'm trying to think of my recent projects and which ones I should talk about.

I also will have streamgraphs from this tweetup I'm at right now and TriMet dataviz as well! If your not careful I might just get up there and keep talking all night :)

Honestly that would be great. If you have a few small projects you can show in 5 minutes each I think it would be really fun. By all means, brings all four! We'd love to see them!
