Big Data - No Fluff - lets get started with Hadoop #8

Welcome To the Oslo Hadoop Big Data Vikings Meetup #8

Welcome Back after Summer and Straight Back to Big Data! both to our wonderful existing members and all the new Big Data Vikings! Our numbers have grown and we are so excited by the interest, engagement and passion show at every meetup.

As always we will present some great introductions to Big Data, show you what its all about, give some exciting real examples, hands on demonstrations, sharing. So come build your network and knowledge all at the same time.

The content is for everyone no matter your skills and you will gain some valuable insights and understanding.

We are also interested to find some core Big Data Vikings, both individuals and companies that are willing to involve themselves with the group, both with time and sponsorship to help us develop the group. Ensuring we build a healthy open community.

Just contact me or one of the other organizers if you would like to help, participate or speak, or if you have any questions or suggestions.

Also I would appreciate if you could confirm your RSVP and your attendance so we make sure we order the right amount of refreshments and food and nothing goes to waste.
