Subject: [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

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
