BayLISA welcomes Cloudera and Hortonworks to the May meeting

We are welcoming Eric Sammer of Cloudera and Alan Gates of Hortonworks to the May meeting of BayLISA. They will be talking about the state of the art of the Hadoop ecosystem, where the technology is going from here, and how and why to get into it if you haven't already.
More details and RSVP at Meetup. We will be giving away copies of books by Sammer and Gates as well as "Hadoop: The Definitive Guide 3rd Edition" at this meeting -- thanks to the O'Reilly user group program for contributing these -- you must RSVP and be present to win.
