Hadoop presentations at the next Freebase user group meeting

Hi everyone!

We'll be having two talks on Hadoop usage at an upcoming Freebase user 
group meeting on June 17th at 6:30pm. 

I'll be talking about how we're using Hadoop with Jython to process 
Wikipedia and the Freebase data graph, and Justin Bonnar will be talking 
about using Hadoop to compute clustering coefficients for small-world 
network analysis on the Freebase graph.

We'll also be having a presentation by Max Lansing from Powerset on 
their NLP search and how it uses Freebase, a talk by Toby Segaran 
(author of Programming Collective Intelligence) on data mining financial 
data from the SEC in Freebase, a talk by Kurt Bollacker on data mining 
Wikipedia, and at talk by Kirrily Robert on new features in Freebase.

Sign up if you're planning on coming - space can be limited.
