Why the name “BigGorilla”?
This is because data integration and data preparation is a big, hairy, and nasty problem. Incidentally, Michael Stonebraker refers to the problem of data curation at scale as the “800 pound gorilla of Big Data”.
What is BigGorilla?
BigGorilla is a community effort to develop an open-source ecosystem for data preparation and data integration in Python. The BigGorilla community aspires to be the place where people can find out about new developments in data preparation and data integration, promote their software, and to look for answers to questions they may have.
Who are we?
