Details

Loggly has graciously offered to host our next meetup (with food and drink!) as well as a fun contest!

We will have two exciting talks:
Daniel Roesler - d3 on cheap smartphones
Daniel got his hands on the new Firefox OS phone and has been looking at d3 related performance on cheap mobile hardware. He has some interesting findings to share with us!

Victor Powell - DZ: dealing with 3d data in d3
Victor has been developing a new library for dealing with 3d data in a d3 like way: https://github.com/vicapow/dz
with some sweet examples:

He will share his motivations and ideas behind the library!

RULES & CRITERIA

Use any visualization method you like. Animation and interactivity are encouraged, and the bigger of the data set, the better.
