blog.hadoop.com

Hey Folks,

Back in 2007, when I was part of the Hadoop team at Yahoo, and Hadoop usage had not yet exploded, I had created hadoop.wordpress.com. Also, the subdomain blog.hadoop.com points to hadoop.wordpress.com.

Despite initial enthusiasm of the small hadoop community (i.e. 8-9 cubicles around my cubicle :-) then, there were no posts on that blog.

Does anyone want to take it over and create something useful ?

Please let me know. If you have an account on wordpress.com, I can transfer it to you easily.

Or does one need permission from Apache legal folks to do this ?

P.S. Whois indicates that some one called "Cutting, Doug  dns@lucene.com" owns hadoop.com, and so blog.hadoop.com pointing to hadoop.wordpress.com is Doug's doing. You will have to negotiate with him whether after the admin change, the cname still remains :-)

Too bad about mapreduce.org.

Sure, I'd be happy to redirect that CNAME.  The other redirects for 
hadoop.com already point to hadoop.apache.org.  I grabbed the domain 
long ago so that squatters wouldn't abuse it as happened with nutch.com.

+1 for adding a project blog at Apache.

Is the implication that blog.hadoop.com would point there? -C

Should we instead just blog things at http://blogs.apache.org/?  Lots of 
projects have a blog there.  It should be easy to get one that permits, 
e.g., any PMC member to blog on behalf of the project.

Yes, I'd be interested assuming the legal stuff doesn't bite me. :)
