Selling something that is free is still selling something. That by definition makes it irrelevant, since there is no actual technical content, merely an offer to get you into a workshop, which may or may not be a sales or "pre-sales" presentation, though posting it here sure looks explicitly like trying to drum up business. The subject line clearly states a "value proposition," as you put it. I wonder how you get that to not be "services offered," an explicit part of cdom in the charter.
From wikipedia: Big data usually includes data sets with sizes beyond the ability of commonly-used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time.
So does that rule out the contents of the workshop? That's why I call bullshit. Just as I would for something actually Oracle related that didn't actually give what is advertised. The sad thing is I called it before I even looked at the contents, and was right. I would like to see someone using any kind of compatibility mode on petabytes of data.
