+1 for the South Bay.
I could host at NorthScale, the NoSQL db company behind Membase. Our office is located next to Mountain View Caltrain station.

Mountain View works fine.

That sounds like 6 distinct people who want to meet, if you all think
that is enough, could the 'responsible party' please contact me and
we'll get you into the 'nosqlsummer.com' management thingy :-)

Appears we have quorum to establish the Silicon Valley group of NoSQL Summer. Yay!

For now, I propose we try to meet next Tuesday 6:30pm. And I'd like to suggest the same reading which the SF group is doing: Amazon's Dynamo. How does this sound?

While I can host, I'm probably not the best to guide the discussion. Who would like to volunteer? Ideally someone who is familiar this weeks topic.

As background reading, you may want to read the short paper which was read by the SF group last week: The End of an Architectual Era.

All papers can be found: http://nosqlsummer.org/papers

The NorthScale offices are at: 200 West Evelyn Ave. Suite 110, Mountain View. Right next to MV Caltrain.

I'll sync with up with Ryan this week.
Cheers,
Steven

Next Tuesday, 6:30pm @NorthScale sounds great.

I don't think I'll be a good discussion lead, but I am likely to
publish a summary of the article and discussion points afterward.
Here are my notes on the previous paper:

I'm happy to lead, if the spot's not taken.
I'd even put together some outline slides :)

Aa *discussion* would be expected, though -- not a presentation of the
whole paper.
I'll just highlight the good bits, get the ball rolling, and try to
keep the conversation on track.
