The document announces a Seattle Scalability and Distributed Systems Meetup on October 23, 2013 that will feature two main sessions - one on Cloudera Search which uses SolrCloud and Hadoop to allow non-technical users to explore and analyze Hadoop data, and another on experiences with Amazon RDS (MySQL) including benefits and challenges. It also lists the after-beer location and provides information on submitting talks and a future GraphLab Notebook meetup.

3. Cloudera Search
SolrCloud + Hadoop
Cloudera Search, which uses Lucene (among other things) to
make search solve a Hadoop problem: how to let non-technical
users interactively explore and analyze data in Hadoop. It’s
another way for users to interact with Hadoop data and for
developers to build Hadoop applications.).

4. Some Fun Time with AWS RDS
I will share the benefits and the challenges I've encountered
with RDS (MySQL). Real cases have been opened with
Amazon on issues like database low memory and database
outages.Open questions like what is the Multi-Availability
Zone deployments.

6. Idea for a talk?
In general, we're looking for a deep
