The Stanford InfoLab has some newly refurbished lab space, thanks to a generous
gift from Google! We had a Grand Opening ceremony on November 8, 2011. You can
see some of the photos here (courtesy of Rick Barber).



We've created a freely-available online version of our Introduction to Databases
course; check out the OpenClassroom website. Materials include video
mini-lectures (with in-video quizzes) and demos, written exercises, query
exercises with software instructions, and pointers to readings and resources.
From October-December 2011 the course will be offered in a structured fashion to
the general public free of charge, including graded assignments, graded exams,
online discussions with the instructor, and a completion certificate.

We participated in the Crowd Crowd meetup, held at UC Berkeley in June 2011. We
shared ideas and had fun discussions about the intersection of crowdsourcing and
data management.

We participated in the first NorCal Database Day, held at UC Davis on April 1,
2011.

Many current and former members of our group attended CIDR 2011. Here is a photo
