Hi! I write to the dev list (I guess there is no need for this to be private) to comment that there is a deadline this 22nd for submissions for Hadoop Submit Europe 2014 (in Amsterdam, April 2-3).
At my job we talked about the possibility of submitting something and we thought about a Pig-Gora connector, that is almost already developed for Gora 0.2.1 but needs much polish + adaptation to 0.4 (I have been much busy!), and at the same time a Cascading-Gora connector (in early development ATM). It is not related to sales/marketing. The only "marketing" would be comment the company I work for and that the project is funded partially by public european funds. Much probably the submission will be rejected :P And comment that my english is not very good (I never tested in a real context), but well... the important thing is the development, isn't it? ;) And the important questions of this email: What are your thoughts? Is it a good idea? Do you approve/bless? Thanks! Alfonso Nishikawa
