We noticed that a lot of beginners in Scala are unsure where to get started with the language. Maybe you understand the infix-operator form of fold-left (or maybe not) but how do you make something useful, like a web service for processing images?

Fortunately, this is really easy. We are going to do it in about an hour and half, by breaking into groups and building components of the system in parallel. (As if we had called Scala 2.9 collections' `par` method on ourselves?)

Each part will have work tailored for people with different skills and competencies in Scala. There's a particular need for people familiar with image processing techniques in Java. If you're good at that stuff you'll be an asset no matter how much Scala you know. You can help us do something more interesting that just putting a "twibbon" over peoples' faces.

In other parts of the project we'll be building various web front ends for the service, a job execution engine, and a data store. POSSIBLY a cowsay interface for server alerts, time permitting.

This project is on github as ny-scala/bitshow (https://github.com/ny-scala/bitshow).
