Speaking of things you can do at SxSW without a badge: We're holding a *Data Geek Meetup* on the Sunday of SxSW interactive. The idea is simple: * find a good venue and free food (thanks to sponsors *Rackspace* and * Factual*!) * get a whole bunch of really smart data people together, with some structured activity but mostly allowing folks to meet and exchange ideas.
Topics will include Visualization (seeing data), Analytics (exploring data), Operations (managing data), Big Data on the Web (humanizing data), Government, Scientific and Open Data (freeing data). *Please RSVP:* http://datacluster.infochimps.org/ ( http://bit.ly/sxswdata ) (and please retweet!) * * *When and Where*: * March 14th, 2010 * Opal Divine's, 700 W 6th St 78701 -- a short walk ( http://bit.ly/datameetup-walk), or an even shorter bus ride or an even funner pedicab *Agenda*: * Birds of a Feather sessions: five clusters of tables, each with its own topic, led by a rockstar in that specialty. Listen, join in or move tables as you see fit. * Open Mic for 5-min lightning talks -- email us with your topic if you'd like to step up * The majority of the time, though, will be for talking and sparking ideas with a whole lot of people whose work you admire. * **Hoorays*: Sponsored by Rackspace and Factual (and [your name here]). Organized by Infochimps and Jones-Dilworth, Inc * * *Questions*? email Infochimps Meetup <[email protected]> -- http://www.infochimps.org Find Share or Sell any dataset in the world -- Our Web site: http://www.RefreshAustin.org/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Refresh Austin" group.
