Next ApacheCon is together with an Apache Big Data event - in May in Vancouver. (See below)
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america/program/cfp http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp This could be a great place to recruit to the Taverna community, and to see what similar Apache projects are up to. It's also a good way to learn the "Apache Way". Would anyone be up to submitting a Taverna talk proposal for either conference? Deadline is February 12th! There might be a Travel Assistance to help fund the trip - http://www.apache.org/travel/ The Apache Big Data topics include many relevant areas: *Big Data* - Platforms and architectures (Spark, Hadoop, Kafka, etc.) - Predictive analytics - Internet of Everything - Security, encryption and confidentiality - Big Data and linked data - Machine learning and artificial intelligence - Search and databases - Success stories, failures, best practices and unique use cases - Architecture, deployment and integration - Designing products for Big Data - Data and the open cloud *Data Science & Engineering* - Societal impact of data analytics - Algorithms and statistics - R programming language - Organizing and structuring data for analysis - Security, threat analysis, adversary analytics and fraud detection - Analysis workflow, collaborative review and data source evaluation - Best practices for data model and experiment production *Internet of Everything* - Security and privacy - Sensor and mobile data collection technologies - Streaming data and how it impacts data analysis *Enterprise* - Big Data and analytics as a service - Increasing productivity through data-driven automation - Data-driven product and service development - Data team management - Scaling to meet query performance and availability needs - Using real-time and at-rest data accessible in day-to-day operations *Interfaces* - Data visualization techniques and best practices - Interfaces and UX - Leveraging data consumer in designing interfaces Thoughts? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Linux Foundation Events <[email protected]> Date: 21 January 2016 at 18:05 Subject: Speak at ApacheCon or Apache: Big Data - Submit by Feb 12 To: [email protected] Save $400 on event registration through March 6 [image: Apache NA Big Data, May 9 - 11, 2016, Vancouver, BC] <http://go.linuxfoundation.org/e/6342/utm-campaign-apachebigdatana16/2z3lyn/686797101>[image: ApacheCon NA, May 11 - 13, 2016, Vancouver, BC] <http://go.linuxfoundation.org/e/6342/dium-email-utm-campaign-acna16/2z3lyq/686797101> Apache: Big Data <http://go.linuxfoundation.org/e/6342/utm-campaign-apachebigdatana16/2z3lyn/686797101> is coming to North America in 2016, taking place alongside ApacheCon <http://go.linuxfoundation.org/e/6342/dium-email-utm-campaign-acna16/2z3lyq/686797101> North America in Vancouver this May.
