Today we reached a significant milestone at the Sydney Data Miners (http://www.meetup.com/datarati). We have officially reached 1,000 active members!!

Founded in 2007, the Sydney Data Miners group was set up to have informal meetups with those involved in all aspects of data mining from natural language processing, artificial intelligence, web mining and search engines to computational linguistics.

In 2009, and with just 200 members, the group was acquired by Datarati.
