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.

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.
