2009-05-26 Thread Christophe Bisciglia
Hadoop Fans, just a quick note that we are hosting two days of Hadoop
training in Washington DC area (Alexandria, VA) on June 22 and 23.

We cover Hadoop, Hive, Pig and more with a focus on hands-on work.
Please share this with your friends who might not be on the user list
yet.

Both are listed under Live Sessions at http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-training

Registration is discounted for the next few days, so if you are
interested, feel free to take advantage of the savings ($200) by
registering early.

We also have room for one more private session later in the week.
Please contact me directly if you are interested in a customized,
private session for your organization.

Christophe

Hadoop Training, May 15th: SF Bay Area with Online Participation Available

2009-04-27 Thread Christophe Bisciglia
OK, last announcement from me today :-)

We're hosting a training session in the SF bay area (at the Cloudera
office) on Friday, May 15th.

We're doing two things differently:
1) We've allocated a chunk of discounted early bird registrations -
first come first serve until May 1st, at which point, only regular
registration is available.
2) We're enabling people from outside the bay area to attend through
some pretty impressive web based video remote presence software we've
been piloting - all you need is a browser with flash. If you have a
webcam and mic, all the better. We're working with a startup on this,
and we're really impressed with the technology. Since this is new for
us, we've discounted web based participation significantly for this
session.

Cheers,
Christophe

Announcing Cloudera's One Day Hadoop Training

2008-12-12 Thread Christophe Bisciglia
Hadoop Fans,

I'm happy to announce that Cloudera, in addition to providing
commercial support for Hadoop, is now offering a one-day, professional
training course for Hadoop. It's open to anyone in the community, and
is focused on helping you get the most out of Hadoop and related
tools. Come spend a day working with us and other users facing similar
challenges to your own.

For full details, see our website: http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-training

We primarily focus on the following the themes:
   * What must our organization do differently to capture and
effectively use very-large scale data?
   * What tools help us analyze large-scale data and extract
meaningful results, and how do we use them?
   * How can we reorient our data generation and collection processes
to enable more powerful analysis later?

The morning is instructional, the afternoon is hands on. We provide a
cluster with interesting data, and you are free to load your own as
well.

Cheers,
Christophe


Hadoop Training

2008-10-14 Thread Chris K Wensel

Hey all

Just wanted to make a quick announcement that Scale Unlimited has  
started delivering its 2 day Hadoop Boot Camp.


More info here:
http://www.scaleunlimited.com/hadoop-bootcamp.html

We currently are offering the classes on-site within the US/UK/EU to  
those companies needing to get a team up to speed rapidly.


But we are working to put together a public class in the Bay Area.  
Please email me if you are interested, so we can gauge interest.


Also, we may be in NY for the NY Hadoop User Group, if any org out  
there wants to throw together a class during the week of Nov. 10,  
again, give me a shout.


cheers,
chris
