Beste urenschrijvers,
Gisteren 31 januari is het 3e kwartaal geeindigd van zowel EMI als
EGI-InSPIRE. Dus ik moet weer de voortgangscijfers aanleveren. Willen
jullie ervoor zorgen, dat jullie 'bij' zijn met je urenadministratie?
Dank,
Arjen

Dear readers,
You are all invited to participate in the first Apache Hadoop "hackathon" in
The Netherlands on Tuesday, December 7th. This event is also the kick-off of
the SARA Proof-of-Concept Hadoop service. More information on the event and
the technology can be found below.
If you are interested in participating, please register as soon as possible,

===================================================
SARA Apache Hadoop "Hackathon"
Back in 2004, driven by the need to process extreme amounts of data, Google
developed a system that exists of the Google File System and MapReduce. Based
on two papers that Google published on the topic[1,2], Doug Cutting[3] created
what is now the Apache Hadoop software stack. Apache Hadoop is used in several
capacities by a number of internet giants (e.g. Yahoo!, IBM, eBay, Facebook,
Last.fm, LinkedIn, Twitter and many more[4]). It's ability to store and
process extremely large datasets makes it particularly beneficial for sciences
as Natural Language Processing, BioInformatics, Social Sciences and
Humanities. SARA provides a Proof-of-Concept Apache Hadoop storage and
computing service for scientific use[5].
The "hackathon" will be a hands-on introduction to Hadoop. You are invited to
come spend a day at SARA to play with the system, with the support of two
experienced users, Edgar Meij (UvA) and Djoerd Hiemstra (UT). You can work on
your own or in groups and analyze your own dataset or play with for example
the Wikipedia, ENRON or White House access records datasets. Programming
skills will be assumed, and you need to take your own laptops.
Coffee and soft drinks will be provided throughout the day, and lunch will be
served at 12.00 AM.
Program:
09:30 - 09:35 Introduction to the day
09:35 - 10:15 Examples of data analysis with Hadoop
10:30 - 17:00 Hackathon
17:00 - end Presentation of results
