Hey Everyone, We met July 28th at Microsoft Research. It was our first weekend meeting and maybe Sunday morning was not the best time but that is ok some people came and the discussion was fruitful.
A lot of questions of what it means to be in datameet and what direction should this group take. In the next few weeks it is important to look at how we want to use this space and what we want to get of it. And discuss it openly as we move forward.
