Hi all, Just a reminder there is no meeting this afternoon as it's BASICALLY CHRISTMAS ALREADY! For those of you now expecting coal in your stocking courtesy of the Federal Government, here are some free stocking stuffers: * Weave is an open source (read: no money required) visualisation toolset based on Flash (actually, Flex) reminiscent of a more expensive tool many of us like. http://oicweave.org/ * Apatar is free ETL with less Java than Talend. http://apatar.com/ * Miso Project is an initiative sponsored by the Guardian to build a toolkit for web-based mashups, currently focussed on getting the data together. http://misoproject.com/dataset/examples.html * The Miso examples that look nice use D3 to do webby fun stuff. http://d3js.org/ * Can't afford Super Mario Bros but still want pipes? Try DERI Pipes for your semantic web mashups! http://pipes.deri.org/ * Too many cool tools, not enough data? What if you could overlay your drug overdose ED presentations and the National Public Toilets map? You'll need http://data.gov.au/data/?category=Health Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We are back on in January (I think): details to follow in the new year.
