Database Seminar - Riak is bustin' out all over in June

[Charlie]

The June Database Seminar will be on THURSDAY, June 20. We'll be at Engine Yard. Since this group hasn't been big on food, we'll just have some light refreshment once again.

Dave Parfitt will talk about Riak.

Dave Parfitt is a Software Engineer at Basho Technologies, where he writes Erlang, Java, Ruby and OCaml code for Riak Enterprise multi-datacenter replication. He'll be discussing eventual consistency and the Riak distributed database.

Riak is an open-source, masterless, distributed key/value database. Riak replicates and retrieves data intelligently so it is available for read and write operations, even in failure conditions. You can lose access to many nodes due to network partition or hardware failure without losing data. Riak automatically distributes data around the cluster and yields a near-linear performance increase as you add capacity.

Come one! Come all! Please do rsvp at http://www.meetup.com/buffalolab/events/120308622/.

Other news:

I'm thinking we will take July and August off.

I'm considering several topics for Fall:  a DBA's view of Object Relational Mapping; partitioning and sharding; database design and data modelling; ssd; a repeat of my database systems overview. Please comment on these and offer some more  suggestions. Please let me know if you have something you'd like to present or if you can suggest a speaker.

We are also still looking for sponsors.

Charlie,

I'm sorry I have not been able to attend the past few, but I'm very happy that this event has continued to grow and you've created a successful group!

Congratulations!

Mike,

Mongo must be a hot topic. We had the best turnout ever. Hope to see you soon one way or another.
