Last week we had our inaugural HBase NYC meetup. About 30 people turned up – not bad for the first meetup. Etsy, Sematext old customer and Brooklyn neighbours, provided the space, AV equipment and help, as well as their fridge with beer – thanks! Alex gave two talks, first the Introduction to HBase whose slides (audio) are below and then Intro to HBase Internals and Schema Design.

We make so much use of HBase at Sematext, we felt the need to start a New York City HBase Meetup – HBase NYC. We just created the meetup, but there are already over 40 members. We do not have any meetups scheduled just yet, but have a few initial ideas. If you are in New York and have interest in HBase, this is the meetup to join. If you would like to host the meetup or if you would like to present please let us know. Presentation suggestions are very welcome, too!

This coming February, the NY Search & Discovery meetup will be hosting Dr. Pablo Duboue from IBM Research and his talk about UIMA.
This following is an “excerpt from the blurb” about Pablo’s talk:
“… In this talk, I will briefly present UIMA basics before discussing full UIMA systems I have been involved in the past (including our Expert Search system in TREC Enterprise Track 2007). I will be talking about how UIMA supported the construction of our custom NLP tools. I will also sketch the new characteristics of the UIMA Asynchronous Scaleout (UIMA AS) subproject that enable UIMA to run Analysis Engines in thousands of machines… “
The talk/presentation will be on February 24, 2010. Sign up (free) at http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Search-and-Discovery/calendar/12384559/ .

We were busy in 2009, and so was Otis, who organized the NYC Search & Discovery Meetup, and which we happily sponsor. So far a few interesting talks/presentations have happened and more are scheduled for 2010 (presenters for the next few months are already known). Also, Otis and Daniel gave Faceted Search presentation (slides) at the NY CTO Club in December 2009, and Otis presented Lucene (slides and video) at the Semantic Web Meetup in October 2009. More to come in 2010!
