Democratize Machine Learning on ... Contest 🎆 🎉

MindsDB is an open-source project on a quest to democratize machine learning and take it closer to your data, and we want you to join in.

The Democratize Machine Learning on ... Contest is a competition for data professionals, developers, machine learning experts, technical managers, students, business analysts, decision-makers, etc.

We invite you to contribute to our project at the open brainstorming session by telling us where you would connect MindsDB to generate predictions. Currently, we support most of the SQL databases out there.
