Hello,

We just got back from a stellar week at our Strata Conference + Hadoop World
event in NYC. If this week was any indication, big data is definitely
getting bigger. If you or your group are affiliated with or know of groups
in your area that are into big data, data science, or visualization, let us
know--we'd like to hear from you.

Cheers,

--Marsee Henon & Jon Johns

P.S. If you'd like an ebook version of our Data Science Starter Kit, let us
know (UG leaders only).
