Strata + Hadoop World is a fairly new event. It takes place 29-31 March this year in San Jose, California. I’m giving a talk there on Big Data and ethics, an updated, complexified version of one I gave at last year’s ApacheCon Big Data, in Budapest. That one was very well received; for this coming event, I’m clarifying the argument and also layering it some. Events have changed, even in the last few months, and the presentation will reflect that, tough the overall gist still holds to the published abstract below.

The Wikimedia Foundation has recently suffered from lack of communication with the editing community, poor transparency, and sudden loss of staff members. Some of these issues center around the recent Wikimedia Discovery efforts, some seem to stem from senior leadership. Unrest and discontent has been visible both within the editing community and the Wikimedia Foundation itself.
