Call for Participation

This is to announce the next Graph Processing DevRoom to be co-located
with in the FOSDEM 2012. The meetup will take place next 5 of February
2012, from 9AM until 5PM, room AW1.125, more information will be
available when we’ll have the final schedule.

Since 2-3 years graph processing systems are gaining an emerging
impact for processing complex semi-structured and interrelated data
sets. Graph databases like Neo4j, Semantic Web and Linked Open Data
approaches like the DBPedia project, and large-scale graph processing
like Apache Hama encourage each one of us to think about our problems
in graph like structures. Thanks to the high quality open source
implementations and outstanding community support, this movement is
currently wining a lot of momentum within different developer
communities.
