Slides for OpenWorld 2012 Presentations

OpenWorld was amazing. It is always a wonderful event – Oracle puts on a great show, the parties are wonderful, catching up with old friends and making new friends, occasionally there is even good technical content.

This year was even more amazing for me. For the first time I presented at OpenWorld. Even though I am a rather veteran presenter, I was very anxious before my presentations – OpenWorld is the largest event at the Oracle calendar and I wanted to make a great impression. I was very happy and relieved to see that my presentations were well received.

I was even happier to see that more people than ever are interested in Big Data, and that large number of companies already have an Hadoop cluster somewhere between sandbox and production stages. It is great to see how many people now share my interest in integrating Hadoop into the enterprise data warehouse eco-system.
