Freebase user group meeting January 27, 2009

It's time for another Freebase user group meeting! Join us at Freebase HQ for an evening of edifying and entertaining talks and demos by Freebase community members and staff.

As usual, there'll be pizza and beer and perhaps a few tshirt giveaways. Stay on afterwards to socialise and chat with other Freebase users and developers.

List of speakers:

* Brian Karlak, who recently blogged about the Freebase Bots, will talk about what the data team’s been doing lately in the way of data loads and automated pipelines.
* We’ll hear from Dan and the UI team about some upcoming features for creating visualisations out of saved views, and perhaps some other new features they’re working on.
* Jason will be talking about new Acre features including OAuth and a keystore that makes mashups much easier.
* David Huynh, who gave us Parallax last year, will talk about some of his recent work.
* We’ll look at some of the best new bases created since their launch back in November, and a bunch of base builders will show us how they did it. (Want to show off your base? Let us know. You’ll have 5 minutes to show-and-tell. Or if you’re too far away make it but would like us to show your base for you, that’s cool too.)

Doors open at 6:30pm, talks start at 7pm.
