Pig user meetup at Yahoo 6/30

[Alan Gates <ga...@yahoo-inc.com>]

All,

Yahoo has offered to host a Pig user meetup on June 30th, the day  
after the Hadoop summit.  It has also volunteered me to plan it.  So,  
I'd like to know what would interest people.  What should we focus  
on?  What will be the best way to enable Pig users and developers to  
connect and share?

The meetup will be half or all day (depending on what people indicate  
they are interested in), with Yahoo providing lunch.

I am interested to hear how people are using Pig, what is working well  
for them, what is not working well, and what new features they would  
like to see.  Would some of you be willing to give presentations  
covering these topics?

We could also have Q&A time with Pig contributors.  We could do a  
hackathon.  We could do an unconference time where people show up and  
decide the agenda then.

Please send your feedback on what you'd like to see, and feel free to  
suggest other activities beyond what I have proposed here.

Alan.
