I was thinking about doing "Deploying Hadoop Securely" for a ApacheCon EU
talk, as by that time, some of the basic Kerberos stuff should be in
place... This whole conversation is starting to reinforce the idea....
-Start with an ApacheCon US fastfeather talk on the current state of
affairs "a hadoop cluster is as secure as a farm of machines running
NFS". Just to let people know where things stand.
for the EU one, I will probably put in for one on deploying/managing
using our toolset.
I'm also thinking of a talk "datamining a city" that looks at what data
sources a city is already instrumented with, if only you could get at
them. The hard part is getting at them. I have my eye on our local speed
camera/red light cameras, that track the speed of every vehicle passing
and time of day; you could build up a map of traffic velocity, where the
jams are, when, etc. Getting the machine-parsed number plate data would
be even more interesting, but governments tend to restrict that data to
state security, rather than useful things like analysing and predicting
traffic flow.
