Download Hadoop at OSCON
Yahoo's Doug Cutting and Eric Baldeschwieler played to a packed audience at last week's O'Reilly Open Source Convention in Portland. Their talk, called "Meet Hadoop", is a high-level presentation about the popular open source distributed computing platform that is used within Yahoo!, and elsewhere, to provide scalable infrastructure. We have the talk slides in PowerPoint format (part1, part2), a video of the presentation (video iPod format), as well as just the audio portion of the presentation (mp3).

As a LAMP developer, can you help me understand where I might use Hadoop someday?

Tim O'Reilly posted a great piece on O'Reilly Radar talking about why Hadoop and open source are important to Yahoo!:

"Supporting Hadoop and other Apache projects not only gets Yahoo! deeply involved in open source software projects they can use, it helps give them renewed "geek cred." And of course, attracting great people is a huge part of success in the computer industry."
