Ending in about a month, Sparkathon is a really cool hackathon to write innovative applications for Apache Spark running on IBM's CloudFoundry-based PaaS, BlueMix. It's sponsored by IBM and promoted in partnership with Typesafe, NYC Data Science Academy and Urthecast.
I have registered and the nice feature is you get a free IBM BlueMix trial account and access to cool weather data while you are working on it. It includes access to Analytics for Spark as a trial.
