Ask HN: Who is doing interesting work in distributed/p2p systems?

I would really like to move into distributed systems work. I'm working on some hobby projects to pick up experience and I found some great advice in the replies to http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2290180 but I think the best way to learn is to get my foot in the door somewhere and learn on the job.

Which companies/projects should I be looking at? Here's what I've got so far:

  NoSQL: riak@basho, couchdb@couchbase

  Big data: hadoop, disco@nokia, loads of analytics/advertising companies

  Anti-censorship/darknets: tor, freenet, i2p

  Media: bittorrent, p2p-next, tribler, playdar

  Communication: telecoms in general, openbts, skype, twilio, telehash

Also, if you should be on this list and you are hiring:
