Calling fellow Boston/Cambridge, MA Community Members!

Does anyone live in the Boston/Greater Boston/Cambridge area?

There is a Hadoop User Group meetup, hosted by Hack/Reduce in Cambridge on April 22nd. I will be heading there if anyone is interested in joining! I have pasted the link and description below:

The Future of Data

In recent years a wide range of new technologies have disrupted traditional data management. We're now in the middle of a revolution in data processing methods. Choosing allegiances in a revolution is risky. In this talk I'll present the underlying causes of the revolution and predict how the data world might look once we're through it.
