The Neo4j community has been busy with various events and activities. A series of online events, Connections: Graphs in Government, took place last week, featuring presentations on building a smart city knowledge graph using Neo4j, Spring Data Neo4j 6, and other topics. The featured community member for this week is Matt Cloyd, a civic technologist who has worked on various projects related to government and technology. He will be leading an online meetup to introduce his new project Aspen, a markup language that produces rich graph data from plain text. Additionally, the Neo4j Developer Relations team is hiring two roles, including a Data Science Advocate and a DevOps Engineer. The community also received tutorials on building a restaurant recommendation engine using Neo4j and FastAPI, as well as getting started with Micronaut and Neo4j in Kotlin.
