That's Great @Ellison. You can submit the same abstract to ApacheCon too.
I agree that we should move beyond Pirk 101 talks following Apachecon and Hadoop Summit 2016. I might consider submitting one for ApacheCon on scaling out Pirk with Beam/Flink. I shuld be able to work on that after mid-september following my talk at Flink Forward, Berlin. http://flink-forward.org/kb_sessions/deep-learning-with-apache-flink-and-dl4j/ I may have to excuse myself from contributing code to Pirk meanwhile, but I'll be around to help with the releases.
