In celebration of the first ever Project-Haystack.org Connections magazine I worked on a March review entitled "How to Build a Haystack", the brief history of Haystack as chronologically documented on AutomatedBuildings.com.  Even I was amazed at the length and depth of our journey to date. Project Haystack Connections is a major milestone. Amazing job by all those that are Haystackable.

Journey to build the Haystack community started here:

April 2011

Finding the Needle The emerging field of analytics is the key to turning the data from smart systems into actionable intelligence. - John Petze, C.E.M. Partner, SkyFoundry

May 2011

Project-Haystack  We are now awash in large volumes of data, but we can’t easily derive value from it.  Project Haystack's mission is to define this common vocabulary so that we can derive value from all the data our building automation systems are collecting. - Brian Frank, Founder, SkyFoundry

An Update on Project Haystack  Haystack tagging makes it possible for visualization software to assemble graphics of equipment systems with almost no human involvement. - Brian Frank, Founder SkyFoundry

Haystack Connect Event Review  The ability to automatically interpret the meaning of data enables best of breed applications to be implemented, quickly and at lower cost. This gives owners more choice and a faster path to financial return. - Marc Petock, Vice President Marketing, Lynxspring

Something Happening Here - Haystack-Connect Event review- So from every successful event there needs to be a take away that changes our point of view.  For me it was captured when a couple of hayseeds took the stage and planted the seeds of change and showed us all how a connected Haystack using data modeling could alter industry dynamics as we know them.
