Any chance for something in the east (NYC) or do I need to start nagging the wife and kids that west coast weather is the way to go?
I will post on the NYC HUG maybe we can get some Hack together contrib to Hadoop.... but maybe some evening/day that a few commiters on this list that are in NYC (not sure if there are any based in NYC?) they can run a mini hackathon to help get folks in contrib mode? that would rock! Maybe even some standard type of "Hack @ HUG" that every HUG can do with their users (build, patch, build, deploy, test) if they want... Thanks to all contributors and commiters for your hard work and continued efforts/dedication.
