Meeting Oracle - meeting Big Data



28 April - my/our biggest gig in a while, 300+ for the Oracle Big Data conference in London, to coincide with 'Big Data Week' (That's me on the podium before the audience came in). Mike gave a keynote alongside Doug Cutting of Cloudera, and Oracle's best people in the area. Very scary. Oracle events tend to attract the 'brightest and the best' (and a range of independent 'hangers on'). However Big Data appears to be the topic of the moment. Mike says it is the logical maturity of the concept of 'knowledge management - the idea of having access to the totality of an organisation's informational assets, so you can make the best decisions... zzzzzzzzzzzz
He might have something, but I am just a bear, what do I know?
