When I think "Stack", I think of a suite of software that provides all the pieces I need to solve my problem :) On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 7:00 AM, Steve Loughran <ste...@apache.org> wrote: > Bradford Stephens wrote: >> >> Hey all, >> >> I'm going to be speaking at OSCON about my company's experiences with >> Hadoop and Friends, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a name >> for the entire software ecosystem.
