Dear MADlib, HAWQ, and Greenplum communities, Here's a chance for us to get to know our end users better with this double header call this Thursday, Dec 1, 2016.
Add to calendar <https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=dXJnbXI3YjBnaTRmODdkZ21zNzcyc3JvZXMgcGl2b3RhbC5pb191OGtndnVhaGprYm9oMWduZmh2NXRzMnY5Y0Bn&ctz=America/Los_Angeles> | Join the call <https://pivotal.zoom.us/j/248236262> The first half of this call, we'll be discussing new features in the open source Pivotal R project that compliments MADlib, HAWQ, and Greenplum. In the second half, we'll talk about a recent survey of MADlib users. *Talk #1: What's New in Pivotal R* Pivotal R is a popular interface for running data science investigations using Apache MADlib with Greenplum Database, Apache HAWQ, and PostgreSQL. It allows R developers to work with relational database structures such as tables and views and operate on data in the database without having to switch to SQL. Pivotal R also provides a wrapper for Apache MADlib so that data scientists can directly call the parallel processing functions of MADlib. This gives them the full power of in-database processing in their familiar R environment. You can find Pivotal R here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/PivotalR/index.html *Talk #2: Apache MADlib User Survey Results* In the second half of this call, we'll be discussing the results of a recent user survey of Apache MADlib users. Hear which platform they like best: Greenplum, HAWQ, or PostgreSQL. Hear which use cases are the most popular. This survey was recently lauded at ApacheCon EU as a great example of user experience research in open source. You can find the results posted here: http://madlib.incubator.apache.org/community-artifacts/Apache-MADlib-user-survey-results-Oct-2016.pdf See you Thursday! -Greg -- Greg Chase Global Head, Big Data Communities http://www.pivotal.io/big-data Pivotal Software http://www.pivotal.io/ 650-215-0477 @GregChase Blog: http://geekmarketing.biz/
