So, what's the consensus? Should Todd do his module installation talk?
Has someone got a better idea? Or, do we do a social meeting this month?

Covering installing modules is okay,
but please cover distroprefs then, as this is the only way to override
broken modules.
Steffen Schwigon currently has the biggest collection of distroprefs.

It looks like our only volunteer to present this month is swamped.
Given the short time frame, I guess we'll default to a social meeting
this month.

I'll have reservations at The Black Lab under my name at 7pm, Thursday
(April 11).

I hope to see you there.

Message-ID: <20130411175456.3289823d@cygnus>

Michael Schwern is going to be here in Houston the first week in May
visiting cPanel. Since we don't want to miss a chance like that, we'll
be moving the May meeting to the first Thursday (May 2, 2013), so that
we can host him.

At the moment, we don't know if he'll be doing a presentation, if we'll
just be having a discussion with him, or doing another social meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Message-ID: <20130411175850.36952a38@cygnus>

I've recently been revisiting some what I spend my time on and I
realized that I've been lead of Houston.pm for almost 9 years.

I've decided that someone else might want to have a chance. If you are
interested in taking the lead position (or just finding out what's
involved) contact me, catch me at a meeting, or email the list.

I'm not really going anywhere, so it's not something we need to change
this week. But, I wanted to put the word out for volunteers.

In a similar vein, Schwern will be in town for training next week, so I
was planning on moving our May meeting to the first Thursday (May 2).

Do we have a suggestion for where to meet for a social meeting with
Schwern? Or do we default to The Black Lab?

Thanks,

Leveraging Lean Analytics with Social Media Monitoring

It turns out the old adage ?if you build it, they will come,? shouldn?t 
always apply to starting a business, ?It should be ?if they come, you 
will build it,?? or at least that?s what entrepreneur Alistair Croll 
would argue. The Solve for Interesting founder and ?Lean Analytics? 
author explained why this business model has it backwards during a Q&A 
video shot at this year?s SXSW Interactive Festival. Learn more and
watch the interview on the Lean Circle Blog.

Every leader has their ?how I got here? story
Opportunity to share your data stories with Brett Goldstein and Q.
Ethan McCallum

We need you and your stories to educate analytics practitioners in 
particular, and improve the field as a whole, we need to show people 
what works. Not sure we really mean you? If you run a data-driven
company, talk to us. If you?ve grown your internal analytics team from
one person to five, or even fifty, we want to hear from you. If you?re
a hands-on data scientist who has learned when the popular tools and
techniques lose their sheen, let us know. If you?ve had a hand in
building out an analytics practice, or running a data-driven company,
we want to hear from you. If you still are not sure, just reach out.
It?s always nice to say hello.

Strata Online Conference: Mobility, Data, and Analytics  

Presented by: Alistair Croll

Duration: Approx. 90 min.

Cost: Free

Wednesday, June 5, 2013, 9AM PT, San Francisco

In this Strata Online event, we'll look at some of the ways the rise of
the always-on world is feeding the hungry engines of Big Data. From new
approaches to interface design, to the Internet of Everything, to the
lifeline of a single SMS, our mobile phones are fast becoming a
prosthetic brain?and Big Data is its synapses.
