Dala Lakes and Metadata
One of the motivations for the Egeria project is to be able to explore an enterprise data lake - the diagram below shows the various tools and software, many of which manage their own metadata.
Coming soon is a webinar about "Data Lake Design with Egeria " on Jun 2, 2020 08:00 AM in Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Lessons learned from the Egeria Dojo
For the live dojo, the number of students including 13 to 28 across the three days - with about 35 different people - including the instructors. Countries represented included Canada, Spain, India, Morocco, UK, US - Students, freelancers as well as company employees participated. At least 4 people were able to complete pull requests during the dojo session.
Among the lessons learned was that day 1 could have been split into 2 days, and days 2 and 3 could be combined.
We discussed the idea of running a dojo every 4 months, while keeping in contact with the dojo students to get them to achieving contributor and maintainer / committer status.
