Hadoop a Worldwind Tour
6:45 PM, Suspenders Restaurant
http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php
This presentation gives a brief high level overview of Hadoop. Next, we
hit the ground running with a quick practical example of how Hadoop
solves a "big data" problem. We also discuss how the demonstrated Hadoop
processing model scales out to terabytes of data and hundreds or even
thousands of computers.
slides are at http://www.nycbug.org/files/meeting_2010-01.pdf
Edward Capriolo, works at About.com System Operations. When not in
break-fix mode, he researches high/traffic high-availability and
scalable solutions. Edward is a committer to the Apache Hadoop Hive sub
project.

February will be Aidan Cully on Systems Programming on a Chip
March will be Professor Ike Levy on pfSense in a Commercial Environment,
or it's not just for kids anymore

Note that BSDCan is moving full steam ahead.
It will be held May 13-14, with two days of tutorials beforehand.

Also, there will be a BSD Certification exam and SME session on February 7.
