Re: Calling Spark enthusiasts in NYC
Responses about London, Montreal/Toronto, DC, Chicago. Great coverage so far, and keep 'em coming! (still looking for an NYC connection) I'll reply to each of you off-list to coordinate next-steps for setting up a Spark meetup in your home area. Thanks again, this is super exciting.

Re: Calling Spark enthusiasts in NYC
Nicholas, I'm in Boston and would be interested in a Spark group. Not sure if you know this -- there was a meetup that never got off the ground. Anyway, I'd be +1 for attending. Not sure what is involved in organizing. Seems a shame that a city like Boston doesn't have one.

Re: Calling Spark enthusiasts in NYC
Happy to help with an NYC meet up (just emailed Andy). I recently moved to VA, but am back in NYC quite often, and have been turning several computational people at Columbia / NYU / Simons Foundation onto Spark; there'd definitely be interest in those communities. -- Jeremy - jeremy freeman, phd neuroscientist @thefreemanlab On Mar 31, 2014, at 2:31 PM, Yana Kadiyska yana.kadiy...@gmail.com wrote: Nicholas, I'm in Boston and would be interested in a Spark group.

Re: Calling Spark enthusiasts in NYC
If you have any questions on helping to get a Spark Meetup off the ground, please do not hesitate to ping me (denny.g@gmail.com). I helped jump start the one here in Seattle (and tangentially have been helping the Vancouver and Denver ones as well). HTH!
