Wednesday

Morning Keynote: Data Management In The Cloud

OSGi and Geronimo

If we did any more on OSGi – all the way from quickstart, to real-life tales, to Geronimo management – we’d have to call ourselves Eclipse.

Data Mining and Search Technologies

Come hear about one of our most wildly popular projects – Lucene – and it’s many related search and data processing subprojects.

Business and Community

You don’t need to wear a suit – in fact, most people won’t. It’s an excellent resource for how our technology – and communities – fit into the larger ecosystems we live in.

Geeks for Geeks (Focus: Hadoop) (Live video stream)

You know you want to be here. Grid your Hadoop on the cloud in the cluster with a Pig in this highly technical track. (Yes, a Pig!)

Thursday

Afternoon keynote: Open sourcing the analyst business – turning proprietary knowledge inside out

Friday

Builds and Clouds

As the ASF and it’s projects grow, so do it’s build management tools.
