BarCamp wiki / BarCampRDU
I’ll be at BarCampRDU tomorrow. I proposed two sessions, one on Hadoop and Mahout and one on Lucene and Solr. I don’t think I really want to do both, but I would like to do at least one, so we’ll see what other people are interested in.
If you’re around and you want to talk about any of these things, track me down.

Looking forward to the Mahout session. I’ve lurked on mahout-dev for a while and am very interested in seeing some hands-on. How about the simplest possible demo showing how to plug Taste into one of the UCI datasets? (http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/).
It seems like when Taste-like libraries are as easy to use as a hash table, some really interesting things will be possible.
BTW: I’m contemplating a session. Below the Bare metal: Using Dtrace and Vprobes to look under the hood.

That would be cool. I’m not a Taste pro, but I’ll see if I can crank through some of it and see what’s possible.
Hi,I’m pretty interested in mahout and hadoop information, is there any presentation slide or sth. from the barcamp left?
regards from germany

I didn’t do anything formal, mostly just discussed with people.
Robert Burrel Donkin has a nice slide deck at http://people.apache.org/~rdonkin/hadoop-talk/hadoop.html
Also see the Mahout wiki page:

Thank you very much!
