R ist ein Programm zur statistischen Datenverarbeitung und Visualisierung. R ist aber auch eine interpretierte Programmiersprache, die durch eigene Funktionen und sogenannten Paketen (einer standardisierten Sammlung von Funktionen) beliebig erweitert werden kann. Durch diese Flexibilität, aber auch durch die Tatsache, dass R Open-Source-Software ist, entwickelt es sich zunehmend zur Lingua Franca im Bereich Statistik sowie anderen Disziplinen in denen statistische Verfahren eingesetzt werden. Di …

Entwickler mit Interesse an Graph-Datenbanken, oder solche, die bereits mit Graph-Datenbanken arbeiten, um soziale, geografische, hierarchische oder anderweitig hochgradig verknüpfte Daten zu verarbeiten. Wir hosten praktische "Hands-on"-Sessions, diskutieren und beurteilen technische Lösungen, veranstalten Themen-Vorträge, und natürlich kommt auch das Soziale nicht zu kurz, wenn wir beim gemeinsamen Bier unsere Köpfe zusammenstecken. Seid Ihr neugierig, was Graph-Datenbanken sind, und wollt Ihr …

This is a group essentially for "tinkerers", a group for people interested in accelerating and achieving sustainable development and useful education through the use of  3D gaming development software and robotics hardware. One could call the Zeitgeist of the group "bricolage", a French term meaning "construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work created by such a process". We focus on using open-source video game creation tools like Blen …

If you are into 3D design and 3D printing, this is the group to be in. 3D printers will be better, faster and cheaper. But what about the 3D design tools? The biggest bottleneck is still the 3D software for making great designs easily. This group will work on that and will create new 3D design tools with awesome interfaces by using tools like Leapmotion, Kinect or any other great input device. Join this group!

A group for all people interested in Drupal, module development and theming and who are interested in meeting and helping each other learn more about it.

This is a group for anyone interested in 3D Printing, Raspberry Pi, sensors, or robotics who would like to understand how to make things for themselves and teach others. Open source hardware has allowed tinkerers to delve into programming and programmers to get their hands dirty with motors, sensors and microcontrollers. Come and join a geeky but fun place to play, teach and learn about robotics. We could meet monthly in or near Frankfurt and show off our projects.

Thinking about an OpenStack and Open Source Way to Cloud this Group should bring together anyone interested in the topic from all different sides. We are looking for Open Source Enthusiasts but also people who are new to the Open Approach.

The Apache Cassandra Project develops a highly scalable second-generation distributed database, bringing together Dynamo's fully distributed design and Bigtable's ColumnFamily-based data model. The Frankfurt Apache Cassandra User Group is a highly awesome meetup group, bringing together cool people distributed across Frankfurt to talk about our favorite NoSQL implementation, Apache Cassandra.

This group is a place for developers to learn more about the open source, document database MongoDB. MongoDB is the open-source, document-oriented technology that is reshaping the market due to the popularity of its agile and scalable approach among developers and IT professionals.
