New page:
Attendees: Amr Awadallah, John Sichi, Paul Yang, Olga Natkovich, Ajay Kidave, Yongqiang He, Basab Malik, Vinithra Varadharajan, bc Wong, Arvind Prabhakar, Carl Steinbach

 * bc Wong gave a live demo of Cloudera's Hue framework and the Beeswax Hive web interface. 
  * Slides from this talk are available here: http://www.slideshare.net/cwsteinbach/cloudera-huebeeswax
  * Hue was recently released as open source. The code is available on Github here: http://github.com/cloudera/hue
 * Olga Natkovich gave a whiteboard talk on HOwl.
  * HOwl = Hive !MetaStore + Owl = shared metadata system between Pig, Hive, and Map Reduce
  * HOwl will likely leverage the !MetaStore schema and ORM layer.
  * A somewhat outdated Owl design document is available here: http://wiki.apache.org/pig/owl
 * Carl gave an update on progress with the 0.6.0 release.
  * There was a discussion about the plan to move the documentation off of the wiki and into version control.
  * Several people voiced concerns that developers/users are less likely to update the documentation if doing so requires them to submit a patch.
  * The new proposal for documentation reached at the meeting is as follows:
    * The trunk version of the documentation will be maintained on the wiki. 
    * As part of the release process the documentation will be copied off of the wiki and converted to xdoc, and then checked into svn.
    * HTML documentation generated from the xdoc will be posted to the Hive webpage when the new release is posted.
  * Carl is going to investigate the feasibility of writing a tool that converts documentation directly from !MoinMoin wiki markup to xdoc.
 * John agreed to host the next contributors meeting at Facebook.
