I'm trying an experiment for a new type of meetup group: "No talks. You may opt to take up to 60 seconds to complain about Big Data. One paper per month, no obligation to read it."
Follow @PDXBigData on Twitter to keep up. (Also experimenting with using Twitter to do the planning instead of another Google Group.)
Hope to see you there!
Melissa
