help me go to belgium (not asking for money, just a couple of votes)

In my ongoing attempts of shameless self-promotion, I'm here to ask you to check out my two submissions below and vote for them on the "Community Choice" page of the 2015 Hadoop Summit website (even if you don't know what the heck Hadoop or Hive is!!).

Apache Hive Performance Tuning

Mutable Data in Hive's Immutable World

Seriously, there are lots of good choices in all the tracks, but (here comes the shameless self-promoter again!) wouldn't you love to help me get an all-expenses paid trip to Brussels?!?!  Why not?!  I'm glad to buy you a cheesy souvenir. 

If you'd like to help, it just takes a few minutes.  First, go to the Community Choice start page at https://hadoopsummit.uservoice.com/ and sign in via Facebook or Google (or create an dedicated account).  Then you just need to click into the Hadoop Access Engines track.  From there, you can check out all the submissions in this track and if you like mine (again, titles up above) just click on the Vote button.  You get up to three votes per track and you can use 1-3 of them for any submission.

Voting just started and it looks like I'm an underdog and who doesn't love an underdog?!  Seriously, I'd surely appreciate your help if you can take about two minutes and click your mouse a few times for me.

The deadline for voting is January 16 and you don't need to register for, or even desire to go to, the conference.  So yes, there it is... it is a popularity contest which already depresses me thinking of my final tallySurprise me; vote in droves – forward to all of your family and friends!!
