1st Spark: Derek Wollenstein welcomes Scala for Startups meetup to Klout for Apache Spark talks

On 12/12/2011, Alexy Khrabrov hosted the very first talk by Matei Zaharia at the Scala for Startups meetup at Klout. Alexy founded Scala for Startups and later merged it with SF Scala to build the world's largest Scala meetup. After hosting Matei, Alexy proposed establishing a new meetup, the Bay Area Spark Meetup, which they co-founded. This is the title slide and opening by the venue host, the one and only, wonderful Derek Wollenstein.
