 Stuart Sierra presents: Implementing AltLaw.org in Clojure

 This talk demonstrates the power of combining Clojure with large
 Java frameworks, such as:

     * Hadoop - distributed map/reduce processing
     * Solr - text indexing/searching
     * Restlet - REST-oriented web framework
     * Jets3t - Amazon S3 

 Join us from 7:00 - 9:00 at Trinity Church in the heart of the
 East Village. Afterward the discussion will continue at the
 Sunburnt Cow on 9th and C.
