Hi Jonathan, Sebastian James, Cook County Gov Big Data Week is coming up 4/22-4/28. We are approaching it in a completely different way than last year. Live streaming video presentations, events, a global hack on Sat, and other ways for people to participate at whatever level they like. Here's the link to the BDW-Chicago site: http://bigdataweek.com/chicago here's a link to an event PPT week: https://www.dropbox.com/s/67ke3n69qt9i...

Hi Jonathan, DeVry University in partnership with Cisco Systems in hosting a complimentary cyber security event open to the public. I'd love it if you can share this with your Meetup group. More info can be found at www.devry.edu/summitchicago. Thanks! Christine Mikel, Director of Community Outreach

Jonathan, congratulations. Please let me know if you need any help. I can do a presentation on HBase in the upcoming session.

Thanks,
Ravi

Hey John,

I have a personal interest but probably wouldn't have much to offer in the way of insight. Is this group just for people who can speak about Big Data at a high level?
