I am interested in starting a hacker dojo in Austin for big data machine learning. We would meet one evening a week to work on coding up Hadoop based machine learning and statistical analysis problems for big data systems. This would be a hacker dojo where the focus is on coding. I can teach and/or provide papers on any algorithms we want to study. I am interested in working with Hadoop, Mahout, and Hama but also I am interested in coding algorithms from scratch to learn about the algorithm implementation issues. Drop me a line if you are interested. If at least three or four people are interested we can have an organization meeting to discuss the group name, finding a location to meet, development environment, setting up a web site, and the agenda for the first couple of months.
Sincerely, David G. Boney l...@semanticartifacts.com
