"No talks. You may opt to take up to 60 seconds to complain about Big Data. No obligation to read the paper."

We'll start by letting anyone who wants to take up to a minute to tell us what they've been doing with data lately.

This month's paper is ASAP: Automatic Smoothing for Attention Prioritization in Streaming Time Series Visualization by Kexin Rong and Peter Bailis. Read it or don't - the goal is just to have something to start conversations. "Did you read the paper?" will do nicely.

Mention @PDXBigData on Twitter with the link to the full paper to suggest papers for future sessions.

There will be food.
