HPCC Systems Community Catch Up 2020

Our community is extremely active, contributing in many way to our open source project. We'd like to share their achievements and celebrate their successes with you. Although 2020 presented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our collaborations have gone from strength to strength. There is plenty to review and lots to catch up that you may have missed during the year.

Learn about the diverse, sometimes surprising and often inspiring contributions and uses cases for HPCC Systems and if you have a success story of your own, get in touch and tell us about it.

Thank you to our community users for your continued support.
