Come join us for regular technical discussion in the areas of large scale data processing and analytics. We're open to all topics related to "big data" -- distributed algorithms, machine learning, probabilistic data structures, performance and reliability. The focus will be on the practical solutions to real world big data problems rather than just a single processing or storage platform. The format will typically be two presenters with ample time for discussion and questions. Everybody is welco …

Big Data ! Data Science ! Predictive Analytics ! Machine Learning ! ... these are all great buzzwords but to make a system actually work and that has an impact is a non-trivial task.

This group was created to get together local CAD / CAM / CNC enthusiasts for learning, sharing ideas, and keeping up with what's new. Personally, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to CAD, I keep reverting to paper and pencil rather than take on the learning curve. After building two CNC routers and beginning a CNC mini mill conversion I know a bit more about CAM and CNC but realize it's well past time that I put away the drawing board and master the entire CAD/CAM/CNC tool chain. My initial t …
