BarCampRDU
Threw my name in the ring for BarCamp RDU today. Haven’t been to BarCamp before, but Erik Hatcher suggested I go and check it out.
Also put in a Proposed Session of “Apache Mahout and Hadoop - Having fun with Map Reduce and distributed computing”. Figure we talk about the basics of M/R, Hadoop and Mahout programming, look at some Mahout examples, run some code, maybe even go nuts and try setting up a distributed job across laptops just for the fun of it. Was also thinking it might be fun to talk about Lucene/Solr, but figured one session was enough, especially since I am a BarCamp virgin.
