+1 for these ideas peter... Why not "An introduction to the hadoop ecosystem using apache bigtop" workshop?
where everyone - builds apache hadoop, spark, pig, hbase using the gradle recipes. - defines a custom hadoop cluster using the puppet site.csv. - deploys bigtop (using puppet) on a two node cluster. - runs our tests or the bigpetstore app, end to end . I can help you to organize the slide deck if you are interested in presenting, possibly by making a youtube demo that you can merge into the workshop.
