Hi, all In May 9, we held the second Hadoop In China salon. About 150 people attended, 46% of them are engineers/managers from industry companies, and 38% of them are students/professors from universities and institutes. This salon was successfully held with great technical support from Yahoo! Beijing R&D, Zheng Shao from Facebook Inc., Wang Shouyan from Baidu Inc. and many other high technology companies in China. We got over one hundred feedbacks from attendees, and most of them are interested in details and wants more discussions. And 1/3 of them want we to include more topics or more sessions for hadoop subprojects. And most students/professors want to be more familiar with hadoop and try to find new research topic on top of hadoop. Most students want to involve themselves and contribute to hadoop, but do not know how or find it is a little difficulty because of language/zone problems. Thank you all the attendees again. Without you, it would never success.
We already put the slides on site: www.hadooper.cn, and the videos are coming soon. BTW, I insist on letting this event to be nonprofit. In the past two meetings, we did not charge anyone for anything.
