I swear I will make it to the next one... I have to be in the Philippines next week. I'll pick u up a magnet.

is there a place I can post jobs that relate to Hadoop and Mapreduce?

I bet your next Hadoop meetup is going to have more people than AWS'. That's the way we roll in big data land.

I sent the list the "big dataaa!" email to drum up some enthusiasm for the next meeting. I hope it will be a "standing room" only crowd. Are you prepared for big data in #Seattle?

PS. "Big Dataaa!" is a Jersey Shore reference on "Tee Shirt Tiiiiiiiime". Go Paulie D!
