All,

I am curating NoSQL East which being held October 28-30, 2009 in
Atlanta, GA. This conference is focusing on the next generation of
data storage technologies, collectively known as NoSQL. The conference
is bringing together the smartest people in the alternative database
domain to provide both a breadth and depth of knowledge about these
technologies. The databases presented are currently in use for some of
the world's largest web applications - Twitter (Kevin Weil), Facebook
and Digg (Arin Sarkissian), and Yahoo (John Corwin). The group of
database technologies presented provide for web-scale data storage and
retrieval especially in Rails based applications because it views the
data more closely to how Rails views data - a Key/Value hash in the
sky. If you do any level of web programming, Rails or otherwise, you
definitely owe it to yourself to consider attending NoSQL East. It
will be a blast, as we are basing the conference style similar to
JSConf, which means lots of social events that are all included and
massive amounts of top notch people. If you are only familiar with
Relational Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2), this is a
perfect opportunity to jump on the next wave of technology and do so
with the smartest people in the field. If you have played with some
NoSQL databases, this is your chance to dive deep with people who are
leading the charge. This is an amazing conference with mind blowing
material that is well within driving distance. In terms of
applicability, if you persist data in any fashion -- this conference
and this technology is for you. If you have not even heard of NoSQL or
played with CouchDB/MongoDB/etc. the talks will be a great
introduction for you and trust me, it will change your view of data
persistence (and make your life happier).

Do note that we are nearly sold out and the early bird deadline (price
$250) ends September 30th. I should have sent this out weeks ago, but
I am a slacker (apologies). Make sure to get your tickets as soon as
possible as we will most likely be sold out in the coming week.
