hey @Rishabh_Tiwari,
Thanks for kicking off the North East UG!

I'm Owen Coyle, (aka TheOC), part of the technical team at Bulien here in Newcastle. We build and run end-to-end data platforms and solutions for clients across the UK, and Databricks is right at the heart of our lake house projects.

Really looking forward to swapping stories, highlighting local success, and encouraging some North East buzz - Greggs fuelled hackathon anyone??

Cheers,
TheOC

Hi! I used to run the Databricks North East User Group in Newcastle when it first started back in 2023 but it looks like it's run a little cold over the past 6-12 months! I've since moved to the USA but it would be great if someone else wanted to kick it off again!

hey @Mikereeve 
That's awesome! Is that the Group on Meetup?
I did try to get in touch with some of the leaders on that group but unfortunately Meetup is pretty strict on making it difficult to connect without their being a live event on. I would absolutely love to collaborate/unify with that group if you have any contact details for anyone!

Congrats on your move to the USA too, I hope that has been well! How long have you been using Databricks for in total now?

Cheers,
TheOC
