“Money is here, too. Sort of. There is a lot of hype in the air,
and when you start talking about customer bases with companies on
the floor, there’s not a sense of a lot of cash floating around.
Yet. Still, the potential for financial gains zings through the air
like a static charge. Everyone here is shuffling their feet on the
metaphorical big data carpet, hoping to touch the right idea and
get that pop! of fame and fortune.“In these respects, history is repeating itself, and I actually
find myself becoming a little melancholy for the days of Linux
yore.“But even as the inevitable comparisons ensue, there is one
thing decidedly missing from the Strata Conference, and indeed the
larger data ecosystem: community.”
