Mark, Yahoo and Hortonworks have been running Hadoop Summits continually since 2008. There is absolutely no one on tradema...@hadoop.apache.org that doesn't know about them. Furthermore, Hadoop Summit is very Apache focused using a diverse program committee, free meet ups around the event, and it is the only professional Hadoop conference that provided all 130 Hadoop committers free access this year.
I remind the Hadoop Summit organizers each year to send concom and the Linux Foundation the dates as they are planned. I believe they did, but I'm not watching those lists. I didn't know that you wanted the dates here as well and I rectified that when I realized it. You probably also want to put in the dates for Hadoop World, which is organized by O'Reily. .. Owen
