Thanks to Chad Vawter for a fantastic presentation about PySpark. It 
really helped to hear the justifications for Spark, particularly about 
how it's about memory and not about cores. That's really the big data 
challenge. The live coding was also superb. Thank you!

Thank you to TransLoc for making the after-party one of the best ever. A 
round of free drinks was so nice. Thank you!

Thank you to Van Vinh Nguyen for the PySpark Notebooks. These are great, 
especially now that Github displays Jupyter Notebooks in place instead 
of having to jump through an nbviewer link. Thank you!
