Graphing data in Drupal has been around for years in various forms but with Drupal 7 now on the scene we have some choices to make on how to move forward. All those who are interested in using Drupal to graph data, I propose we sit down and see if we can combine efforts by sharing what projects we are working on.
Even if you are not familiar with the current state of graphing data in Drupal your input is appreciated.
I hope to see you there and bring your lunch! :)
The BoF is scheduled on March 10th, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, in the Missouri room.

Nice Work
I particularly like that you made an effor to show how Node.js can be used in conjunction with Drupal. I'll definitely be looking into the views_datasource module after viewing your slides.
thanks for setting up this BoF!
I'm writing this as it's going on :-) and I'm ready to pick up this thread with you.
cheers!

graphing data for academic research and public outreach
I've been scratching the surface of using Drupal for graphing various data though it hasn't been a front-burner pursuit. It was great to see the interest in using Drupal for such tasks across so many diverse domains. My case in particular is to support social science researchers in their efforts to visualize large data sets not only for their own academic pursuits, but for public outreach and policy development purposes. Although I'm not a developer, I look forward to testing out new tools and methods in D7.
