We want you!

We have been discussing it for a while now and we believe the time is right to start a big data community in our little part of the world. We stand for a group of people that have to deal with building or using solutions for the ever growing data needs of our employers or customers, which is commonly referred to as bigdata. We want to build a community in Belgium that shares knowledge and best practices in this area and we want you to become part of the fun.

We are independent of any vendor solution and we also do not try to sell you anything here; we are technical people from different backgrounds like CMS, digital maps etc. eager sharing our experiences and learning new things. We want to kick-off the community in .be  soon, so if you are interested in joining us, let us know. You can leave a comment here, contact us on twitter or join our google group! We are eager to get in touch!

Looking forward to all of you!

P.S.: Some of us will be in Berlin for the Berlin Buzzwords conference next week, if you are also there, get in touch with us, if you cannot come to Berlin, but want to join us, please get in touch with us as well!
