I'm sure that if we asked around a bit we'd find folks who knows someone over there to get an introduction, but a nice "TinkerPop Introduction" email on their mailing list might be better. Not only do we reach the folks we want to reach, but we also expose the Spark Community to what we're doing over here with spark+graphs.
