Pentaho Community Metadata Meeting

Pentaho hosted a community WebEx meeting today and presented the Pentaho metadata architecture and road map. There were about 25 community members, a dozen or so Pentaho employees and all the architects in attendance. The presentation was 20 minutes long followed by 40 minutes of questions and answers.

The Pentaho community WebEx meeting will become a regular event with different topics either once or twice a month.

In case you missed it, the recording is available on the WebEx service site. Click the link below to play it:
