Save the date and mark your calendars!

We will meeting on the last Wednesday of September. This time our topic is data engineering, specifically the Databricks platform and the Spark framework for big data pipelines and processing.

[Kat McNeill](http://linkedin.com/in/ekaterinamcneill) will give an "*An introduction to Apache Spark*", covering: *What is this super fast data processing tool (architecture)? Why was it built (improvement on MapReduce)? How to get started.*

[Dr Andres Baravalle](https://www.linkedin.com/in/baravalle/)'s talk "*Modernising data analytics with Databricks*", will take the audience through *O*n the Beach's data analytics journey with Databricks. *In this session, we’ll explore how Databricks, combined with AWS and robust CI/CD practices enabled us to build scalable data pipelines and start building a modern data platform.*
*We'll cover the key features used by data professionals, and we'll give a glimpse into what a project with Databricks looks like - covering collaboration, data engineering and data analytics. Whether you're considering Databricks or looking to modernise your data stack, this talk will offer practical insights and lessons learned along the way.*

Whether you are a seasoned data engineer or just starting out, these two talks will give you lots of information and insights on big data tooling.

For those who cannot make it in person, we will be [live streaming the event here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bzdL9r-0tA), (stream to start at 18:20).

The Breaking Breadboards team are excited to announce our next event which will take place at Freedom Works on October 8th in Brighton.

In this talk we are going to have a brief overview on what Open Hardware is, see a couple of landmark community projects that show its power, and why and how it's being used at the University to promote better research and education locally and globally. In the end we hope to have a lively conversation on why more people should be using it and how to get started!

We will also be show casing home made badges that our community have been working on. As always there will be time to socialise and network between each of the speakers with a drink and free pizza!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and we look forward to meeting you!

We would love you to be there in person but the event is also hybrid. So you can catch us on YouTube if you can't make it.
