Apache Hadoop Wins Duke’s Choice Award, is a Java Ecosystem “MVP” by Justin Kestelyn.
From the post:
For those of you new to it, the Duke’s Choice Awards program was initiated by Sun Microsystems in 2002 in an effort to “celebrate extreme innovation in the world of Java technology” – in essence, it’s the “MVP” of the Java ecosystem. Since it acquired Sun in 2009, Oracle has continued the tradition of bestowing the award, and in fact has made the process more community-oriented by accepting nominations from the public and involving Java User Groups in the judging effort.
For the 2012 awards, I’m happy to report that Apache Hadoop is among the awardees – which also include the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Liquid Robotics, and Java cloud company Jelastic Inc., among others.
Very cool!
Kudos to the Apache Hadoop project!
