Earlier today, I met John Sichi for coffee at the Half Moon Bay Coffee Co. in the Stone Pine Center. John is also a Coastsider and very involved in open source data management & analytics. We spoke of many things: our histories, folk we know in common such as Julian Hyde and Nicholas Goodman and some Oracle alums, happenings in the open source BI world, Pentaho, JasperSoft, SpagoBI, and lots of good story telling.
Mostly though, we spoke of LucidDB, LucidEra, & metadata management. I've been asked not to blog about some of things we discussed, so I'm just going to be safe and say that I am very impressed with what LucidEra is doing in BI SaaS. I'm also looking toward including the amazing capabilities of the column-store open source LucidDB in some engagement, somewhere, as soon as I can.

We've completed presenting at Campus Technology 2007. Rather than a normal stack of slides in Keynote or PowerPoint, we presented our mind about six topics:
Yep, rather than taking notes and brainstorming using mind maps, we presented using a mind map.
Our conclusion from preparing this presentation and from listening to our audience of around 20 folk, is that the key to a cost-effective strategy for BI is User Involvement and Open Source. More than just the open source solutions however, is what we learned from open source projects in managing the core and extended project teams, as well as all possible stakeholders as a community.
Update: Here's a PDF of our handout as well. As you can see, the handout was supplemental and background material for the mind map.

We would love to hear your thoughts, after traveling around our mindmap.
