More data and Homebrew SWRE

Aug 9, 2012 · 7:00 PM
The Office of Silicon Valley

After a long delay, it's time to get partying again.

While I've implied a few times now that we would hold the next meeting in SF, I think we'll need to hold off until we can get some sponsorship $. In the meantime, let's meet at The Office of Silicon Valley as we have a few times now. Besides being pretty easy to get to in SVale, the venue costs me nothing as a building tenant.

While we had a great conversation at our last meeting about managing, visualizing, analyzing data, I think there's a bit more ground to cover there. I am trying to get a few guys associated with a GIS data visualization framework to come to the meeting and to share some of their work with us.

Then, we'll transition into a "homebrew" style agenda. If you're working on a project but have hit some hurdles, this might just be a great opportunity for you. Anyone who wants it can have 3-5 minutes to describe their project and their issues. Then we can break down into groups to discuss possible solutions to these issues.

I hope this will be a great opportunity for us to harness our collective intelligence and diverse views and experiences.

Projects and issues can be anything from deep technical bugs to high-level questions. Exs: In a Digi XBee low power radio, I cannot get the analog measurement feature to return the expected data. OR I'm trying to sell a product in a B2B realm in the Solar industry, how should I try to sell people on the fact that the product has these strengths and these weaknesses?

See you all soon!

  Hmm... an interesting and new request. We haven't done this in the past, but I'd certainly be open to it. Do you know of any service that makes this easy to accomplish?

  A simple Linux Laptop running VLC could do the job? Of course the networking issue needs to be resolved.

Oh, and of course... SWRE will feed you and quench your thirst. I forgot to mention that, again, in the main announcement above.
