Chris Anderson, newly added committer of the CouchDB project will: “[…] be introducing CouchDB, showing off a tiny example app (which will make you never want to go back to SQL databases again), and giving a quick tour of CouchDB’s Erlang internals in the hopes of enticing new hackers into the fold.” — Full Announcement

Same as above. With RSVP!

Monday, September 22nd, 2008, 19:00, Upstream, Berlin
