Hadoop Camp at ApacheCon

Following up on the interest in the Hadoop Summit which we held a few months ago, we got together with the ApacheCon folks to arrange a Hadoop Camp at their conference this year.

Hadoop Camp will be held on November 6th and 7th in New Orleans as part of ApacheCon this year. Along the lines of the summit, we have speakers from some of the leading companies developing on and using Hadoop, including Facebook, Amazon, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun, Powerset, and Yahoo! in what is possibly the largest gathering of Hadoop committers, developers and users outside of the Bay Area.

In addition to the Camp, there is a Hadoop tutorial on Monday, November 3rd, and we are also looking into coordinating a Hadoop “hack” contest that would run through the week at ApacheCon.

We are looking forward to a strong turnout!
