We thought the web threw off a lot of data, but that's nothing compared to the data deluge coming from the Internet of Things. Tim O'Reilly (O'Reilly Media) and Doug Cutting (Cloudera) discuss new data sources and the unusual competitors that are emerging as software and hardware converge. "Who would think that Monsanto would be competing with John Deere on the tech front?" asks O'Reilly.

About Doug Cutting:
Doug (@cutting) is the founder of numerous successful open source projects, including Lucene, Nutch, Avro, and Hadoop. Doug joined Cloudera in 2009 from Yahoo!, where he was a key member of the team that built and deployed a production Hadoop storage and analysis cluster for mission-critical business analytics. Doug holds a Bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and sits on the Board of the Apache Software Foundation.

About Tim O'Reilly:
Tim O’Reilly is the founder and CEO of O’Reilly Media. His original business plan was “interesting work for interesting people,” and that’s worked out pretty well. He publishes books, runs conferences, invests in early-stage startups, urges companies to create more value than they capture, and tries to change the world by spreading and amplifying the knowledge of innovators.

Tim is also a partner at O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, a founder and board member of Safari Books Online and Maker Media, and on the boards of Code for America and PeerJ.
