Our first meeting was a great success with somewhere around 25 atendees. It turns out that we have people in the Triangle using Hadoop for cancer research, quantitative finance, web analytics and a variety of other applications. Grant was furiously taking notes as ideas for future meetings were discussed. Look for announcements here on the blog, twitter and the mailing list. Thanks again to the other presenters, Jeff and Chad as well as Bronto for the facilities and jStart for the beer and pizza.
