talk proposal for the next meetup

[Oleksandr Petrov]

Hi, 

I recently attended one of the Node User Groups, talked to some people people and listened to presentations, and would like to suggest a topic I could speak upon. 

Last year we have developed a distributed system, using librabbitmq-c, libv8 and our own version of a standard bootstrap (mostly requires, file loading, and native function calls), which a simplified version of node.js running on top of librabbitmq instead of libev, and which is able to handle a good load, but is also running on an embedded device with 200mhz processor and 64mbs of ram.

On the other hand, in this talk I'd like to address the issues related to a real-world scalability problems, and decisions that brought us to Clojure, and some Java libs we started using from Clojure. Also, an operating systems concepts, especially interesting and important for the people who connect their lives with node or any event loop, and how we were able to serve a multitude of simultaneously running _blocking_ i/o operations.

I hope to make it entertaining, but also allowing to learn. That talk is a bit biased, since we discovered many problems that you can't possibly face during the development, and only discover in production, if you don't go to your OS source code.

The best time for me would be 7th of March. If you have suggestions about topic or want me to highlight anything in particular, let me know.

Thanks

Embedded node? Cool!
