"Configuring the layered cake of Hadoop” y “Scaling remote engineering teams”

El próximo jueves 17 de marzo nuestros compañeros Ian Kallen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/spidaman) y Rick Spencer (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickspencer3/es) harán una presentación sobre "Configuring the layered cake of Hadoop” y “Scaling remote engineering teams” en nuestras oficinas de Sevilla.

Las presentaciones serán en inglés y durarán una hora respectivamente. Al finalizar cada una de ellas tendremos tiempo para rondas de preguntas y respuestas.

A continuación tenéis una breve descripción sobre cada una de las ponencias.

Configuring the layered cake of Hadoop

Apache Hadoop is an open source distributed systems framework. It enables resilient computation on very large data sets by replicating and distributing data across a multitude of hosts and moving the computation to where the data is and aggregating the results. Hadoop runs as a layered set of services running on top of an ensemble of machines. In this presentation, Ian Kallen will talk about the services in the Hadoop stack, how they depend on each other and how they can be configured to compute across hundreds of hosts and many petabytes of data

Scaling remote engineering teams

Expanding an engineering team these days is a challenge. Many managers are looking to expand their teams, but finding co-located talent can be challenging, especially in some hot markets.

A modern high tech work force is distributed globally, not based on one office. With good people management practices, you will get better engineering and a happier, more dedicated team. Explore alternatives and best practices for expanding your team with talented REMOTE engineers with Rick Spencer, currently VP of Engineering for Ubuntu, but soon to be VP of Engineering at Bitnami.
