We are looking forward to two awesome keynote speakers who shaped the world of open source data analysis: Doug Cutting, founder of Apache Lucene and Hadoop) as well as Ted Dunning (Chief Application Architect at MapR Technologies and active developer at Apache Hadoop and Mahout). This year the program has been extended by one additional track. The first conference day focuses on the topics Apache Lucene, NoSQL, messaging and data mining. Speakers include Jakob Homan from Yahoo! who will give in introduction to the new Hadoop security features, Daniel Einspanjer is going to show how NoSQL and Hadoop are being used at Mozilla Socorro. In addition Chris Male gives a presentation on how to integrate Solr with J2EE applications. The second day features presentations by Jonathan Gray on Facebook's use of HBase in their Messaging architecture, Dawid Weiss, Simon Willnauer and Uwe Schindler are showing the latest Apache Lucene developments, Mark Miller provides insights into Solr Performance and Mathias Stearn is discussing MongoDB scalability questions. "For our developers Berlin Buzzwords is a great chance to introduce our open source project Couchbase (based on Apache CouchDB and Memcached), get in touch with interested users and discuss their technical questions on site." says Jan Lehnardt, Co-Founder of Couchbase (merged CouchOne and Membase (formerly Northscale) [1]. Registration is open, regular tickets are available for 440,- Euro. There is a group discount. Prizes include coffee break and lunch catering. After the conference there will be trainings on topics related to Berlin Buzzwords such as Enterprise Search with Apache Lucene and Solr [2]. For the very first time we will also have community organised hackathons, that give Berlin Buzzwords visitors the opportunity to work together with the projects' developers on interesting tasks. Berlin Buzzwords is produced by newthinking communications in collaboration with Isabel Drost (Member of the Apache Software Foundation, PMC member Apache community development and co-founder of Apache Mahout), Jan Lehnardt (PMC Chair Apache CouchDB) and Simon Willnauer (PMC member Apache Lucene).
