SF Data Mining

This meetup will host and highlight events on topics spanning a wide range of data mining topics. It is intended to compliment the successful Data Visualization meetup by allowing for meetups of a more technical nature.

Goals

Host events (talks, workshops, hackathons, volunteer coding, ...)
Highlight existing events around the bay area and organize transportation, etc)
Spread awareness of rising data mining technologies

Who is this meetup for?

Data mining engineers, scientists, and other practitioners
Data visualization developers and designers
Statisticians
Journalists, library scientists, and others who dig through data for a living
...and anyone else who enjoys data mining!

How can you get involved? (Besides attending events)

Become an organizer!! We'd REALLY love to have more organizers...drop us a line if you're interested.
Suggest a meetup topic.
Provide a venue. Probably the biggest hurdle to having more events is the challenge of getting a large (100+ person) venue.
Sponsor food and beer. Don't have a large venue to offer, but want to help...beer money (literally) is always appreciated.
Or just drop us a line and tell us you're enjoying the meetup :)
