Apache Mahout @ Lisbon Codebits #

Second week of November I’ll spend a few days in Lisbon - never would have thought that I’d return so quickly when I visited this beautiful city this summer during vacation. I’ll be there for Codebits - thanks to Sapo for inviting me to be there.



Back in summer I learned only after I returned to Germany that there was someone form Portugal seeking to meet with other Apache people exactly when I was down there. I contacted the guy proposing to do an Apache Dinner to see how many other committers and friends could be reached. In addition Filipe asked me whether I could imagine flying down to Sapo to give a talk on Mahout as devs there would be interested in it. Well, I told him that if I got travel support, I’d be happy to be there. This 10min chat quickly turned into an invitation to a great conference in Lisbon. Looking forward to meet you there. (And looking forward to weather that compared to Germany is way warmer and more sunny right now. :) )
