summary of first meeting

[nor...@googlemail.com]

hi,

so we had our first meeting last monday and had a quick round of
introduction on the close to ten guys that were here. it turned out
that most of us had some experience with NoSQL databases with couchDB
being the most widely known one.

we agreed on a monthly schedule with the second monday every month at
around 6PM at the YouDo office and hope that most of you have time to
make it.

We had a quick chat about how we are going about the papers and came
up with a gentle introduction with the "The 1995 SQL Reunion" paper as
a primer and an overview of what databases are out there on the market
to actually have an idea what we are talking about.
following that we try to split the papers up into topic groups and try
to discuss one topic per meeting (possibly around 3 papers).

I gave a short intro on where NoSQL is coming from and why it is
important to know the basics under each implementation in order to
pick the right one for the problem.

Next meeting: 2010-07-12 6:00PM at YouDo
Papers to read: "The 1995 SQL Reunion"

cheers

Sounds good, thanks for organising it.

I've been able to use Redis, Couch and Cassandra at work. Keen to talk
to others about their experiences.

thanks for that, actually, there should be a mail going out to
everyone with a link to the paper from the nosql summer website prior
to the meeting ... i thought so at least, maybe it is still coming or
i may have missed it :-)
