KNIME Pole Star
Each year, the KNIME Community selects from within its ranks the KNIME Pole Star, which recognizes those forum contributors who provide outstanding solutions, share knowledge, and consistently help others. It’s an honor for the guiding lights of our community that is bestowed by their peers, selected from the top ten solutions providers over the preceding year.
The Pole Star has the opportunity to lead the KNIME Stars Association for a year, where they (along with other community members they select) periodically meet with our development team to share their opinions and voice their desires about KNIME Software, and generally serve as the voice of the wider community.
The current KNIME Pole Star is Brian Bates (@takbb) , also a COTM for October 2021. He’s a trusted presence in our community with a sizeable number of forum solutions provided under his belt.
Thank you to all our forum contributors!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed this year and look forward to another year of shared learning and growth.
