Seattle Hadoop/Scalability/NoSQL Meetup: Tim Anglade, SEOMoz

This meetup focuses on Scalability and technologies to enable handling large amounts of data: Hadoop, HBase, distributed NoSQL databases, and more!

There's not only a focus on technology, but also everything surrounding it including operations, management, business use cases, and more.

We've had great success in the past, and are growing quickly! Including guests from LinkedIn, Amazon, Cloudant, 10gen/MongoDB, and more.

This months' guests:

Tim Anglade: Founder of "A NoSQL Summer", acclaimed speaker, and all around brilliant guy.
Ben Hendrickson, SEOMoz, will talk about their homebuilt distributed DB.

Our format is flexible: We usually have speakers who talk for ~20 minutes each and then do Q+A, plus lightning talks, dicussion, and then social time.

There'll be beer afterwards, of course! Feierabend, 422 Yale Ave N
