[chai-t] January meeting

Hi all,
I have just realised that I have not yet sent around details for this
month's meeting! As the haze slowly lifts from Christmas and New Year I
was not fully expecting things to return to full swing until after
Australia Day, but then we did think that January 18th would suit enough
people to make it worth catching up.
So please come along to Peter Mac at 3pm this Friday if you are not on
holiday! I'll book the research meeting room that gets some sunshine.
I can show you our data warehouse (nearly done) and some of the ETL
framework bits that I think have been useful and made easier with Talend
vs SSIS, such as job logging, change capture and edits. I will also try
to reinvigorate my search engine work, though it may still leave a lot
to the imagination.
As usual, if there's anything else you'd like to cover, please let me
know!
Kind regards,
William Rose

Subject: [chai-t] November thank-you and ... ideas for 2013!
Hi all,
Thanks again to Chris and Lucy for hosting at Alfred on the 23rd - it
was interesting to further explore some of the issues and features with
QlikView as it is being rolled out at Alfred Health.
For December, the consensus was that by the 21st no-one would be
thinking about work anymore, so the best bet was to defer till January
18th as the next meeting date. At this stage that will probably be at
Peter Mac again. Tracey has been persuaded that RCH could host in March,
and Aaron thought having a deadline in August might mean St V's had
something to show!
So have a think about things you might be interested in finding out more
about and let me know. Some of the things I have been thinking of /
trying with varying success are:
* search engines as a user-friendly way to find data for data
requests
* choropleth maps using R <http://spatialanalysis.co.uk/r/> to
help visualise things like referral patterns, patient remoteness for
ABF, etc. I'm suggesting R because it's free, and hence I can afford it,
though apparently MapInfo is the tool of choice (Tracey can perhaps show
this to us!) [Oblig XKCD <http://xkcd.org/1138/> ]
* custom Qlikview web viewer components - they look kind of easy,
and one that might be useful is a "provide commentary" box linked to the
current selections
* Alex also mentioned a product that allows writeback based on a
cube selection that allows people to post adjustments to data along with
rationale, which can be used to compensate for missing data or
processing issues without necessarily tampering with source data files
or making direct & untracked edits in your warehouse.
Suggestions welcome!
Kind regards,
William Rose
