But in the contest posting I see this (my highlighting):
The way I read it, we participants should not be changing our entries during voting week. @Evgeny.Shvarov what do you say? Hi John!
Not exactly. For some reason, we don't mention here that we allow editing and improvements during the voting week too. @Anastasia.Dyubaylo, don't you know why? ALL the previous contests had this option and all the contestants used it this week for improvements, bug-fixing, and advertising.
@Anastasia.Dyubaylo, could you please add that everyone is able to improve applications during the voting week too? In all contests, developers were able to improve their applications throughout the entire registration and voting period.
And from the announcement above:
So, we need to fix the main announcement. Thanks, @John.Murray! ;) Here are the results after 2 days of voting:
Expert Nomination, Top 3

Question
Zhaoying Li · Mar 6, 2021
I can't find a case of spark or Kafka connecting to InterSystems Iris on the Internet. Are there any related resources can share? InterSystems provides a specialized Spark connector. Documentation. And, of course, you can use a JDBC driver.
As for Kafka here's some examples showing InterSystems IRIS<>Kafka interoperability:

Hi Community,
Please welcome the new video from Global Summit 2019 on InterSystems Developers YouTube:
⏯ Scaling Up and Out on InterSystems IRIS
In this video, we will discuss the basics of scaling applications based on InterSystems IRIS. We will pay special attention to employing sharding for horizontal scalability, including recent advances to our sharding technology that introduced support for object access to your sharded data.
Takeaway: InterSystems continues to expand the types of applications that can scale horizontally.
Presenter: Louise Parberry, Senior Sales Engineer, InterSystems
Additional materials to this video you can find in this InterSystems Online Learning Course.

Hey Developers,
See how to use the DTL Generator in InterSystems IRIS to create a data transformation:
⏯ Using the DTL Generator in InterSystems IRIS
👉🏼 Subscribe to InterSystems Developers YouTube.
Enjoy and stay tuned! Hi all,
I was wondering in which version I can find the DTL Generator, or is it still in development?
In version ' IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2020.1.1 (Build 408U) Sun Mar 21 2021 22:04:53 EDT' I cannot find it. @Stefan.Wittmann maybe you can help answer this question? Hi @Menno.Voerman the DTL Generator is still in development and was presented at the last Virtual Summit to gather some feedback, which we are still incorporating and fine-tuning with some partners. Are you interested in the DTL generator for migrating interfaces to InterSystems IRIS or for other reasons? Hi @Stefan.Wittmann,
I was just curious about this functionality. For a project I need to convert ORU~R01 to MDM~T02 messages.
For now it's fine to write the DTL by myself (small messages). I would be happy to see this functionality in a further release. It can indeed be very useful with migration projects.

Hi community, I used website-analyzer - an app that uses InterSystems NLP and Crawler4J to extract all website content and do NLP on it. I limited to 200 pages and discovered this:
Top 10 Concepts - business and content topics in the InterSystems site:
Other frequency concepts, see the focus in the iris speed, scale and data value:
Top 10 Concept Dominance - business relations in the InterSystems site. See the InterSystems slogans ("first data platform", "intersystems data platform" and "healthcare data platform")
See the related concepts - the marketing message is: "customer choice", "leading provider", "excellence" and intersystems geo presence in the world, very well!
It is possible see cloud words around word "InterSystems", for example: (it is important to qualify the brand)
Cloud words using paths is very impressive to see general speeach in the website, see:
It is possible do benchmark with business competitors too, run the website-analyzer and see!

How difficult is it to create a report using InterSystems Reports?
Spoiler
Super easy!
I created two simple examples using the InterSystems IRIS + InterSystems reports and will try to share how easy it is to set up these two applications together!
In the next few paragraphs, I describe a step-by-step guide to this process's ease and simplicity.
After installing the Logi Report Designer, open and choose the InterSystems IRIS icon.
For the second step, you have the option of choosing an existing Catalog or creating a new one.
We will create a new catalog, saving it in your chosen folder, then we will create a new DataSource.
Fill in the fields with the server's IP or DNS name, port, namespace, user, and password.
You can then add tables, views, and queries to your data source.
With your connection information, your tables, views, and/or queries configured, let's move on.
Clicking on the icon New, choose New Report.
For our report, I chose the Table (Group Left) as the image below:
The Table Wizard will guide us by choosing the data source, data display, grouping, summary, chart, filters, and style.
I'm using the covid table that @Evgeny.Shvarov created for the iris-analytics-template to my data source on this report sample. The chosen fields are Confirmed and Deaths.
The group for this report will be Contry_Region.
The Summary for Country_Region group will be Confirmed with the Aggregate Function (SUM), the breaking field will be Country_Region in the Footer position.
Inside the chart step, I chose the Bar Chart with Country_Region as my Category and showed values for the Confirmed field.
I'm applying one of the pre-existents styles, and the chosen one was "Classic."
The image below shows how the report shows itself after the wizard finish.
The file covid19_cases_-_WorldCount-Sample.pdf it's a "print sample" of the report.
If you want another simple sample, my repo has the file refugees_CitiesImpacted_ReportSample.pdf
Showing the report for the dataset for the Refugee Admission to the US Ending FY 2018, the dataset is available on Refugee Admission to the US Ending FY 2018 - dataset by associatedpress | data.world
If you liked the app and think I deserve your vote, please vote for iris-analytics-package!

Hi Community!
Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:
⏯ Overview: Connecting Devices to InterSystems IRIS for Health
InterSystems IRIS for Health can receive device data in multiple formats based on different communication standards. It then transforms this data — applying decision logic and even machine learning predictions — before sending messages to the appropriate applications and people. Developers can use the programming language and messaging protocols best suited for each task while interfacing with a single application.
Personal fitness trackers, smart assistants, and medical-grade monitoring devices are all able to connect to InterSystems IRIS for Health, allowing healthcare providers to make informed decisions that keep patients healthy and out of the hospital.

Enjoy and stay tuned!
