Hadoop Day (Seattle)
Attended Hadoop Day today at the Amazon PacMed building. Free “conference” setup – and it was very worthwhile. The morning was panels and general discussions – the brightest spot being learning about the whirr project. I’m afraid the link has … Continue reading

Hacking on OpenStack’s Nova
Like quite a number of other folks, I’ve been lurking on the OpenStack mailing lists since I saw the announcements. Friday, Eric Day put out a call to help with the “get this code into shape” against PEP8 and pylint. … Continue reading

WWDC 2010
Ticketing system replaced and launched, I’m ready for a decompress. There’s pretty much no better place to do that, in my mind, than at WWDC in San Francisco this coming week. I used to send myself every other year. Strangely, … Continue reading
