Pentaho, Hadoop, User stories, Beer Pizza and more!

Our first meetup in over a year will be back at the amazing hosts that are Skillsmatter. This time we will cover:

Pentaho Hadoop - A demo and discussion led by Matt Casters - the Architect and creator of PDI/Kettle. To find out more about Pentaho and their unique big data implementation visit: http://pentahobigdata.com/

Dave Romano-Critchley will also give a talk on Causata - a Big data startup, and explain how they've been using Pentaho, in particular a custom repository, step plugins and embedding kettle.

Other topics are still to be decided - Options are:

Meteorite Cloud Saiku ( http://analytical-labs.com/ ) Release 2.5 is imminent and has a whole host of amazing new features! Ctools etc. Pedro Alves the new Pentaho VP Community will also be attending.

If you would like to give a discussion or host a Q+A session then please do come forward - We would like to get a good mix of user stories as well as technical presentations.

There will be plenty of time before and after the event for networking and getting to know the community
