Announcing our keynote speakers

We are both - very happy and proud to introduce the Berlin Buzzwords keynote speakers to you today. Being focussed on scalable search-, data analysis- and storage systems it is a great honor to have two very influential developers and project leads on our speakers' list:

Ted Dunning is the Chief Application Architect at MapR Technologies. Prior to MapR, he was Senior Technology Advisor at DeepDyve, chief architect behind the MusicMatch, (now Yahoo Music) management and recommendation system. Ted is actively contributing to several Apache open source projects, including Hadoop and Mahout.

Doug Cutting is a founder of several Apache open source projects, including Lucene, Nutch, Hadoop and Avro. Doug currently works for Cloudera, and previously worked at Yahoo!, Apple, Excite and Xerox PARC. Doug holds a Bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and currently chairs the Board of the Apache Software Foundation.

We are really glad to already have two great keynote speakers and are excitedly looking forward to the Berlin Buzzwords conference in June 2011.
